If Love be the Food of Music...

You know what I've been thinking for a while now? I've been thinking that what this world needs is an album of songs created entirely from sounds recorded during sex. Oh, and thank goodness for me, others have been thinking the same.
Jessica Vale, Ivan Evangelista and Jean-Luc Cohen of New York City have created and released (on Valentine's Day no less) The Sex Album on Explicit Records. Every single sound on this album (save for the vocals) was originally something recorded during sex: some hand-to-ass slappage for drums; some pitch-shifted vibrators for bass lines and some restraint-velcro noise for atmosphere. The result is a collection of darkly ambient songs that are surprisingly lovely.
I applaud these three for their innovative album - not everyone has the presence of mind to stick a microphone into a body cavity to record "subtle convulsions and shifts of internal body fluids" and then make a song out of what that sounds like. I would rather no one hears my subtle convulsions, but "making beautiful music together" has taken on a whole new meaning for me.

    Hailey,
    Love your site!
    I'd be interested to know your thoughts if and when you see "Nine Songs", the first non-adult film to feature explicit sexual encounters (including cum-shots).
    Edification or just titillation?
