ORBIT 17

Orbit 17 is an experimental independent rock band based in San Jose, CA. The band was founded by Jamie Brite and Misha Guiffre in 2022, with Ryan Senft joining on drums in 2023 and Mary Herigstad-Franz on backing vocals in 2024.

 

Orbit 17 exploits the capabilities of modern technology while remaining emotionally grounded and accessible. The music explores the conflict between the digital and the analog, and forces the two into an uneasy momentary harmony.

​

The group explore unusual territory for popular music, often featuring odd time signatures and uncommon harmonic modes. However, the songs never drift fully into progressive or experimental territory and remain hypnotic and radio friendly, if perhaps a bit “otherworldly.”
