Visionary Creative Music
www.orendarecords.com "Orenda Records is a small Southern California label that punches above its weight.

Run by Daniel Rosenboom, its recordings document the creation of a new sound and scene. Call it “Los Angeles Creative Music” if you will. Orenda’s offerings are informed by rock, modern classical, and jazz, and combine these genres in a natural, organic fashion. These are not jazz musicians who dabble in classical or vice-versa. Instead, Orenda’s musicians grew up in a post-Braxton era where music

al styles are viewed on a continuum rather than as individual silos of expression."

Thank you for sharing 's "Rogue Lash" - out today!

27/02/2026

OUT TODAY!
Max Kutner // Rogue Lash

NYC-based composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Max Kutner returns with a sonic behemoth of a project entitled "Rogue Lash" on Orenda Records. The album exhibits a post-genre modernist sensibility rooted in ritualized repetition and abstract expressionism. Kutner treats sound as an evolving process or environment, rather than as a set of discrete songs. He uses repetition and groove as hypnotic or structural mechanisms emerging from a grand collage of funk, industrial, metal, and drone. Additionally, the music exhibits a meta-layer of socio-philosophical dimension based on Kutner’s satirized impressions of people, places and assorted phenomena while living in New York City.

The album was conceived during an extended hiatus from performance. While initially envisioned as a project for large chamber ensemble, Kutner shifted towards a “single-man” big band approach, working from home using extensive sample libraries, guitars, basses, keyboards and drum machines, and also remotely recording over a dozen different musicians in New York City, Los Angeles, Oakland, Portland, and Boston. One aspect in particular that separates this project from Kutner’s other albums is that Kutner mixed and mastered the entire set himself for the first time and entirely from his own home. Each of the ten tracks on Rogue Lash is a tiny world of sound unto itself that draws inspiration from classic industrial (SPK, Art of Noise, Nine Nails), progressive rock (Frank Zappa, Magma, King Crimson), IDM (Aphex Twin, Autechre), post rock (Tortoise, Slint), drone metal (sunn0))), Abruptum), and experimental hiphop (Clipping, MF Doom, Death Grips). Unfettered by the limitations of traditional recording scenarios dealing with studios, scheduling engineers and musicians, and limited equipment and also working without strict deadlines, Kutner was able to reach a new height of realizing his artistic visions. It is the purest expression of his thoughts.

We are thrilled to announce the pre-order for composer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Max Kutner's upcoming album "Rogue Lash," out Feb 27 on Orenda Records.

This album’s post-genre modernist sensibility is rooted in ritualized repetition and abstract expressionism, and draws inspiration from classic industrial, progressive rock, IDM, post rock, drone metal, and experimental hiphop. Rogue Lash exhibits a meta-layer of socio-philosophical dimension based on Kutner’s satirized impressions of people, places and assorted phenomena while living in New York City.

For Rogue Lash, Kutner self-produced extensive libraries of guitars, basses, keyboards and drum machines, and recorded over a dozen musicians in New York City, Los Angeles, Oakland, Portland, and Boston. Each track on Rogue Lash is a sound world unto itself, with sharp, sardonic gestures reflected in their titles, like “Navigating the Nepomatrix” and “Stardust Apes.”

Joshua White // Flora and Fauna: 9 Preludes for Solo Piano

Composer and pianist Joshua White unveils a captivating new album, Flora and Fauna: 9 Preludes for Solo Piano, a collection of original works that explore the delicate interplay between the natural world and human emotion. The album will be available on all major streaming platforms on December 19, 2025 via Orenda Records.

Inspired by the textures, rhythms, and quiet mysteries of nature, Flora and Fauna brings to life a series of nine preludes, each representing a unique facet of the living world—from the gentle unfolding of a fern at dawn to the restless energy of wind through the canopy. Through intricate harmonies and vivid tone painting, Joshua White invites listeners to reconnect with the organic pulse of the environment that surrounds us.

“Each prelude is a miniature world,” says Joshua White. “I wanted to capture how sound can breathe like a forest, bloom like a flower, and move like an animal in motion. The pieces are reflections on how we coexist with nature—sometimes in harmony, sometimes in tension.”

Flora and Fauna: 9 Preludes for Solo Piano is both a meditation and a celebration—an invitation to slow down, listen, and rediscover the music inherent in the natural world.

Alexander Noice is an inimitable and prolific composer, producer and guitarist who has been with Orenda Records since the very beginning. Now he is creating innovative modern electro-acoustic music and we are so excited to share his new single, “Third Corso.”

“Third Corso” layers shimmering processed piano over deep 808 rhythms, unfolding into a luminous, rhythmically charged soundscape.

Its uplifting energy builds gradually, creating a vivid sonic journey that feels both intimate and expansive.

OUT TODAY!!! Dan Rosenboom’s genre-bending epic COORDINATES is out now on 180-gram vinyl LP, CD, and digital formats.

A programmatic concept album that’s as sonically rich as it is emotionally riveting, COORDINATES features 28 incredible musicians, innumerable styles, moods, and modes, and showcases Rosenboom as a composer, producer and player.

“The Los Angeles trumpeter’s new album is downright rocking, reminiscent of bombastic yet tight fusions of jazz and progressive metal…here held together by a much more stylistically fluid vision… Rosenboom’s sonic architectures feel breezy despite their intricate composition, while his rousing sustained tones and rapturous licks lead the way like an unfettered guiding light.”

OUT TODAY!!!
oneL Sextet // Wild With Life

We are thrilled to announce the release of composer/pianist Philip Rankin’s new oneL Sextet album “Wild With Life,” out now!

Philip Rankin – Piano, Modular Synth, Field Recordings, Compositions
Andrew Conrad – Clarinet & Bass Clarinet
Yvette Holdsworth – Violin
Greg Zilboorg – Trumpet
David Tranchina – Bass
Trevor Anderies – Drums

“Wild With Life” blends layered harmonies, expressive improvisations, and immersive soundscapes to capture the dual experience of being beside the Los Angeles River—both the contrast of nature within an urban landscape and the depth of thought inspired by its solitude. The intricate interplay of the band—blending jazz improvisation with the precision and intimacy of chamber music—infuses each piece with Rankin’s unique, reflective approach to melody and structure. The result is a sonic journey that reflects the river’s impermanence—its cycles of near-drought and flooding—while echoing the resilience of life that persists in the face of a channelized, urbanized floodplain. This is a space where beauty and chaos coexist, creating a unique experience of serenity amidst the hum of city life and the constant rush of the freeway.

Recorded, Mixed and at Altamira Sound January 2022.
co-produced by oneL & Bobby Kalamino
Mastered by Dan Eaton at Little Castle Mastering in November 2023
All music composed by Philip Rankin oneL music (ASCAP) 2024
