Odradek Records is a cooperative, non-profit record label that releases recordings of classical music.




History


Odradek Records, based in the United States, was founded by John Anderson in 2012 as an artist-controlled label for performers wishing to release recordings with more freedom than with other labels. Designed according to the model of peer-reviewed scientific journals, Odradek Records allows submissions from any performer, and these submissions are evaluated by other professionals. The founder, John Anderson, described this process: "Artists are chosen anonymously based solely on a demo recording by a committee of myself and four others, who rotate year to year." In 2014, the label launched the open-access online blind team judging platform Anonymuze.com, and since then all applications to the label have been processed through this platform. In 2015, the label opened a jazz imprint, followed by a world imprint in 2018.
Odradek owns and operates ODRATEK BV, based in the Netherlands, a holding company for several digital startups and the European branch for the label's investments and management structure. ODRATEK is the majority stakeholder in the creative marketing company vist.co kulturmanagement GmbH (The Visual Storytelling Company) based in Hamburg, Germany. ODRATEK is dedicated to promoting and sustaining cultural heritage with apps and software, which include the biography platform B.io and Neumz, the world's first complete recording of all Gregorian chants presented alongside scores, texts, and translations.
Since 2017, Odradek Records also organizes concerts for its music association in its Italian studio "The Spheres" to showcase its artists.
Odradek Records takes its name from a mythical creature in Franz Kafka's story "The Cares of a Family Man."
