I work with several artists who score for porn. I also work with those who wouldn't touch a project like that in 1,000,000 years.

Would you do this? Do you think it would come back to haunt your career, make you more credible, or not matter?

Hook be up

I've been commisioned only once. That was for an independant documentery on the Greenwich Villiage Holloween parade.

It was fun writing to the image and creating for specific lengths and stuff.

It's not like you have to pork anyone, and you don't even need to use your real name (although, I don't really see the shame in it. What has the composer done wrong?

:p
 
These days porn is becoming more acceptable....If you are a rock star and havent fucked a porn star, you are probably LESS credible......Id do it in a second......
 
Porn is becoming more acceptable, but the guy from Sugar Ray and Fred Durst made the plunge and are now trying to move away from it. It's definitely not a decision to be taken lightly because once you do it, you're branded forever. It's definitely publicity though.

How about porn stars who have tried to jump to music? I don't think any of them have been successful. The Traci Lords album did ok as far as club play, but it was short lived and more of a novelty than anything because of her past. I don't think it would have done anything had she not have been a former porn star.

Sign me up, and what's the combination to my locker?

:D :D
 
Check out Zorn's filmworks VIII.

This CD contains a score to a film documentary about Jewish people, and also contains, and I quote:"a quirky all-percussion score for Ela Troyano's exotic gay porno film latin boys go to hell, featuring..."

Jewish and porn, one disc. However, John Zorn did more rather strange things in the past...

Go for it. There's alot of money there, and people aren't into it for the music anyway. :D
 
porn stuff

what is the problem with recording music for a porn?
where do i go to sign up? i'll do it for free --
this is my announcement that i will provide music for any porn, free. please contact me. i think it would be a great deal of fun.
 
Someone want to tell me why this thread keeps coming up to the top but nothing new has been added. This has happened like six times but "Boom chicka" is always the last post.
 
Krakit, I think that happens if someone votes in the poll, but doesn't post a reply.

I would do porn soundtracks. I am a porn soundtrack waiting to happen, so I've been told.

With the porn industry making so much damned money, you think a lot of composers would line up to do it. I guess the music isn't thought of as "helping" the image in the case of pornos. Maybe if we (me & the others willing to do porn soundtracks) form a union (call it "Hard-Coreposer's of America" or HCA) and demand proper compensation - hey, I think I'm onto something here...
 
Since this thread surfaced again.... I might as well add my .02

Damn right I would!

In a heartbeat! I would try and keep it really cool though.... not like that usual, sequenced synth crap...

Maybe something dark and funky, sort of like Marilyn Manson's "I don't like the drugs, but the drugs like me".

I worked on one soft porn movie. No penetration, late night Cinemax stuff. It was pretty funny shooting the sex scenes. We had wireless receivers so we could hear the action and peek around the corner while they were doing the scenes.

The director was this fat goofy guy and he would be saying "More breathing, more tounge, pull her hair", so the guy pulls her hair and she gets all pissed off, "Don't pull it that hard!"

We did this one lesbo scene and both the chicks were named Jennifer. "Okay, now Jennifer you get on top." They would both move for a sec and then get confused. The starlett got to be called by her real name and the B girl was called by her character name.

That movie was called "Mischevious" (sp?) and you can find it at some video stores. I actually have a couple cameos as "Dude in Prison Cell" and "Dude on the corner with the whores". Those are my usual hangouts so it was no big stretch.

I worked on one that was a titty music video stripper montage kinda thing. It was pretty tame but this one chick was getting pretty nasty on the pool table. I remember the camera man looking up and asking "Can we even use that?".

LOL!:D
 
I've nothing against porn, but I'd be very careful about who I'm dealing with. You might want to check into FZ's bio - apparently he got set up by the vice-squad, and got busted... jail, bail, the whole thing...

Anybody remember porn music from the 70's? It was hilarious, always with really tacky wah wah guitar that would start up as soon as the clothes hit the floor.
My vote? I'm not sure. I underestimated the internet when it came out, and missed the wave. However, I KNEW that internet porn was a goldmine early on. I decided though that I didn't really want to be a pornographer, even though I have nothing against porn. It just wasn't a title I wanted to wear. But I don't think mixing music or sound for porno's would make you a pornographer. I'd do that before I'd mix the soundtrack for Shrubs "The war on Iraq" propaganda film. However, I would have to draw the line at tacky wah wah guitars.

I'm clearly in the minority on this one, but I wouldn't do it.

<soapbox>
Contributing in any way to a porn film does make you a pornographer, and that's a title I wouldn't want to wear either.

I don't think I'm a prude. I dig sexuality as much as the next person. But IMO porn isn't sensual or sexual anymore, it's just explicit, and I know that it can be harmful because I've seen its effects first-hand.

I can say I wouldn't do it for a porn movie. Besides my religious beliefs I don't think its respectful to my wife and other members of my family. There is definitely a stigma about it in the porfessional world, the only guy I know that pulled off the jump was Rob Zombie, its a little different in his case but it never realy effected his career. YMMV
