The label Creative Works Records was founded in 1983 by Mike Wider in Root (canton of Lucerne).
With the solo LP he then travelled to record stores and also to a trade fair in Paris, where he was personally welcomed by the French Minister of Culture Jack Lang for his commitment.
The label is run by Wider on a part-time basis and is not profit-oriented: All profits made are always fully invested in the next productions.
Currently the focus is on Swiss musicians of the jazz and Free improvisation scene, such as Luigi Archetti [de], Christy Doran and Peter A. Schmid [de], and the Swiss composers who work around Marianne Schroeder and Brennan in the Groupe Lacroix (for example in collaboration with the Moscow Rachmaninov Trio from Russia and the Ensemble Sortisatio from Germany).
