NO ONE CARES | WE DON'T KNOW WHY

The PornOrchestra is an attempt to radically reinterpret the soundtrack to 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.

 

STOP THE WAH-WAH

Performing live improvised and composed scores to pornographic film, the PornOrchestra invigorates the mysterious experience of the Voyeur-cum-Auditeur. The equivalent of a circus band with its collective eye on the trapeze artist: the PornOrchestra teases out the thrill, amplifying the collective gasp at pornographic triumph —and tragedy— using the most eclectic and creative musical minds working in the Bay Area today.

 

BUT PERHAPS IT'S NOT WORTH IT REALLY

We've considered this. We don't even like porn. All that much.

A friend writes:

[pornography] seems so often "merely" another catastrophic short-cut to settle for a lower level of satisfaction without the complications involved in achieving a higher level. And without the higher level. Ever. But also with all the attending godawfulness that capitalism attaches to every enterprise, not least ones that actually trade in what passes for intimacy and/or fundamental human value. So that I can see how, in an ideal world, it might work out ... but not so much in this world. But anyway, what are you doing with it?

 

WE'RE PUTTING ON A SHOW

Of course.
