Wild Orchard Record Company

TODAY: It's another "BandCamp Friday," a great day for browsing our growing catalog of recordings. (We've had a VERY busy summer, as you'll see in this collage of new releases!)
Our little collective's music is available for streaming and download everywhere, every day. But only on BandCamp can you purchase downloads knowing that the *artists* get the lion's share of the revenues. And on BandCamp Fridays, that company *waives* its entire share, making it an especially good day to support the musicians of the Wild Orchard.
If you keep listening, we'll keep recording and releasing music! Thanks for your support!

We're an artist-owned collective, founded in 1990. Featuring the solo piano works of Peter T. Noonan, the folk-jazz acoustic concoctions of Laurasia (John Houshmand, Jonathan Levi and Patrick S. Noonan), and the eclectic rock and Americana mash-ups of Outer Park.

But wait, there's MORE! In addition to the two releases last week featuring John Houshmand and Laurasia, we are happy to announce the release of "Eden: A Musical of Chaos," by Laurasia violinist Jonathan Levi (lyrics) and Mel Marvin (music).

EDEN follows six very American wanderers as they try to rebuild their New Orleans lives in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

EDEN is about an America of jazz and funk, of blues and zydeco, of rock and roll. An America that sometimes seems fixed on its own destruction, natural and man-made, but also an America that, even at its worst, sparks a global belief in its ability to re-build, to re-invent, to start again.

Marvin & Levi bring long careers in music, theater and literature to their collaborations, which include operas Guest from the Future, Buwalsky, and Truth & Reconciliation. Mel has scored 5 Broadway shows, 11 Off-B'way and 47 plays. Jonathan’s novels, libretti & plays have been published in many languages & countries. Next: an album of rock songs inspired by a 1568 Giorgio Vasari masterpiece.

Eden is now available everywhere you stream and download your music.

Patrick S. Noonan just posted: "Thanks to everyone who fulfilled my birthday wish by listening to the re-issued "Scott's Red Star" album, which I wrote and performed with my brother Peter Noonan. (July 11 was *his* special day, too - the tyke crashed my 5th birthday in 1960.) Here's the first video for our album, a piece I created to accompany a gorgeous solo-piano composition by Peter."

I *loved* making this record with Pete, brother Christopher H Noonan on drums, and several of my Laurasia band-mates. Sixteen instrumentals, mostly original compositions. One reviewer wrote, "Stunning... Heart, soul, and drop-yer-jaw musicianship pour from this collaboration. Should appeal to anyone with a taste for jazz, an ear for composition, a sense for style & technique, an appreciation for engineering excellence and emotional engagement." Enjoy!"
