SNIP >Boy, did THAT get off subject or what.... > >Les Mizzell you know i really think that's the beauty of this list. it's ok to have a sense of humor here, unlike SOME lists!!! but i think your post was certainly on-topic. music for porn or soft-core is (or can/could be) as valid as music that accompanies any other visual medium and there's no reason why it couldn't be cool electronic music. i've always thought that it would be great to see what some electronic or avante-garde or rock or any people who do adventurous music within a given genre would do for a porno. i mean, it's sort of a unique opportunity to do something a little different. we all have an idea, i think, of what stereotypical porn music constitutes...down what decade it was made in. you know if you bring it up, inevitably someone starts making wah-wah guitar sounds to indicate 70's porn soundtracks. then there's the cheesy 80's stuff that sounds like it was done on a lame casio keyboard, to the 90's when people just started recording whatever they spent 5-10 minutes making in re-birth. i for one think it would be interesting to maybe acquire rights to an old 70's porn and do your own soundtrack to it entirely on the wiard or just modulars or something. or perhaps if you composed a soundtrack to an non-existant risque film entirely on synths and came up with your own great name for the film...like Womb Raider or something...i mean, that's the fun of it isn't it? getting to come up with a name? on a more serious note, i remember talking to someone awhile back back who had gotten a gig doing porno soundtracks and said they spent all kinds of time composing music to scene lengths and events on screen and turned it in to the whoever was making the movies and they were like "...yeah, whatever...as long as there's something there...". these people know where their bread and butter lies and they know people don't buy those type of films for the music. i think that's why "quality" music doesn't generally end up in those movies. most of the music is probably from royalty-free libraries. it's probably not the most conducive business to fostering musical creativity...at least not for professional musicians. as far as my being a rev. and being interested about porn...i say to you: keep your friends close and your enemies closer! i mean, how can i condemn something if i'm not intimately familiar with all it's ins and outs?!?!! (pun intended) take care rev.jon p.s. i never said i was catholic and if the pope wants to get in the ring i'll call fox celebrity boxing right now and we'll settle it in the square circle!!! _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.
