that never existed.
You can generate a song anywhere. What you cannot generate is a world. We make you the band, the record, the booklet, and the backstory — and, if you want it, a place on a real label's roster.

How a Commission Works
Tell us the story
A person, a place, an occasion, a feeling, a joke only you get. The stranger the better.
We map it
We come back with the concept — the band, the sound, the shape of it — and you approve before a note is made.
We make it
Written, produced, and sleeved in the OHCR house style, with the lore and the artifact to match.
You receive it
The music and the booklet are yours. If you like, we release it on the label — a real act, on a real roster.
Tell us the story.
The strangest, most specific, most personal idea you have is exactly the right one. We will make it real, and we will make it beautiful.
