PornOrchestra is a Bay Area-based music collective formed to "radically reinterpret" the soundtracks of pornographic film:
"This complicated genre has taken its share of scorn: from adult film producers who refuse to pay it any mind to legions of consumers who instinctively snap the sound off after pressing Play."
radiofreeblogistan's Christian Crumlish recently published an interview with one of the musicians, Shannon Mariemont. Excerpt:
"Then I thought I would change the world one porn video at a time by renting a title, overdubbing with my original soundtrack, then returning the video to the store shelf….What if orchestras were the engine of expression in pornography?…One of the participating musicians told me for him this project is 'an experiment in subverting the commercial element of the original to present the inner world.' Another mused that it could just be 'really hot, or really evil, or both and sick, or maybe a little beautiful.'"
