Music for Labyrinths is an ongoing live-performance project exploring the labyrinth as both a physical structure and an inner journey.
The labyrinth offers a path towards concentration, listening and transformation. It invites the listener to move towards a centre and then return to the world with a changed perception. Across cultures, labyrinths have served as spaces for meditation, prayer, ritual passage and symbolic orientation.
The labyrinth becomes both a musical and spatial metaphor: a place where sound, memory, architecture, silence and movement converge. Each performance is conceived as a soundtrack for real or imaginary labyrinths found in sacred architecture, cities, water, cinema, memory and the listener’s inner world.

Labyrinths of Voices
Labyrinths of Voices
Voices in the Shadow is part of Roberto Musci’s Music for Labyrinths project and was conceived in relation to the labyrinth of Chartres Cathedral.
The labyrinth of Chartres Cathedral is one of the most powerful symbolic spaces in European sacred architecture. It represents a path of pilgrimage, contemplation and return: a circular journey in which walking becomes a form of prayer and inner listening.
Musci translates this symbolic and spiritual structure into sound through a composition for 50 voices and electronics. The work explores the resonance of the collective voice, acoustic shadow, sacred space and electronic transformation.
Voices in the Shadow was presented at Synthèse 2002, the 32nd Festival International des Musiques et Créations Électroniques, organised by IMEB in Bourges, France.

Labyrinths of Waters
Labyrinths of Waters
Labyrinths of Waters is a live recording of the concert Music for Labyrinths, performed on 21 October 2000 at Palazzina Liberty in Milan.
The project imagines water as a labyrinth: a fluid, unstable and constantly shifting space in which direction, reflection and depth are never fixed. Water becomes both an acoustic environment and a metaphor for memory, movement and transformation.
The performance brings together piano, acoustic and electric guitars, sampler, percussion, theremin, electronics and live-processed instrumental sounds, creating an immersive musical landscape that combines improvisation, electroacoustic composition and live interaction.
Featuring: Keith Tippett — piano; Claudio Gabbiani — acoustic and electric guitars ; Roberto Musci — sampler , theremin , percussion

Labyrinths of the City
Labyrinths of the City
The City is part of Music for Labyrinths and develops the idea of the city as a maze: a complex organism shaped by routes, interruptions, crossings, memories, voices and hidden structures.
The project was created in connection with live scores for silent films, transforming urban space into a cinematic and musical labyrinth. Through improvisation and live composition, Musci and the ensemble explore the city as a place of rhythm, density, disorientation and discovery.
The performance featured live scores for silent films by Joris Ivens, Charles Sheeler and Paul Strand.
Featuring: Chris Cutler — drums and percussion; Jon Rose — violin & electric violin ; Claudio Gabbiani — guita; Roberto Musci — sampler
