Maya Recordings

Maya Recordings is an independent record label described as Irish-Swiss, associated with the bassist Barry Guy and the violinist Maya Homburger. The label's official website presents the two musicians' names as its central identity, indicating that it functions primarily as an artist-run imprint for their own recordings rather than as a large commercial catalogue label. Barry Guy is a British-born double bassist, composer and improviser long resident in Switzerland, known for his work in free improvisation, contemporary composition and the baroque repertoire. Maya Homburger is a violinist specialising in baroque performance as well as contemporary music. Together they have performed and recorded as a duo and with ensembles, and Maya Recordings serves as the outlet through which much of that work has been released. The label's catalogue reflects this dual focus: it spans contemporary and improvised music alongside historically informed performances of early music. Because it is artist-run, its output is curated around the founders' own projects and collaborations rather than a broad roster of signed acts. As a small independent label, Maya Recordings operates internationally through distribution and direct sales rather than through major-label channels. Its identity is closely tied to the reputations of its two founders within the European contemporary and early-music scenes.
