Born

Genre
Ambient
American composer and producer Keith Kenniff records post-classical music under the name Goldmund, primarily played on solo piano with occasional touches of acoustic guitar, synthesizer, and effects. His recordings are typically sparse, intimate, and reflective, serving as the ideal accompaniment to contemplation and nostalgic remembrance. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Kenniff's music lends itself well to soundtracks, and he has composed extensively for films, television programs, and advertisements. In addition to his work as Goldmund and under his own name, he is well-known for his downtempo and ambient electronic music as Helios. Additionally, he makes shoegaze and indie pop with his wife, Hollie Kenniff, as Mint Julep. Kenniff's discography as Goldmund began in the early 2000s and grew to include high points like 2008's somber The Malady of Elegance and 2020's nostalgic The Time It Takes. In 2025, Kenniff collaborated with violinist Scott Moore on his next Goldmund album, Layers of Afternoon.
