production music with a difference

Think of it like SPINAL TAP meets BOOGIE NIGHTS. Seven albums and seventy-six tracks of pastiche 1970s funk, disco and euro-pop kitsch. All here, ready to license. (SFX-free mixes available!)

​Klaus Harmony is a comic fictional composer of music for 1970s and 1980s European adult movies, billed as the "Mozart of porn music". Created by UK soundtrack composer, Matthew Strachan (also creator of the soundtrack of WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE), the character's life story is told through music, images and an extensive series of spoof biographical entries on a multimedia website. While the site itself contains no explicit content, the composer's life and works are presented by alluding to a fictional movie world complete with filmography, discography, and numerous peripheral characters, including a biographer and musicologist.

Following the launch of the website on 2007, both the character and the music have received mentions in popular blogs such as Boing Boing, thrillist.com, and publications such as the LA Times, and the UK's Guardian newspaper.

The music has been used in the Miramax motion picture EXTRACT, and the BBC television adaptation of Martin Amis's MONEY.

​Although you may not have heard of this German composer he was, this website claims, "the Mozart of porn". Klaus was certainly prolific, scoring such 1970s erotic masterpieces as The Ladies Man, Elektrische Lippen and Who Needs Dialogue? as well as the classic Wundercrotchen. According to the biography here Klaus "thrust the genre beyond its known limits until his disappearance in an unexplained explosion during a visit to a second-hand music store in London's East End". It certainly sounds plausible but some people on the internet - including the know-it-alls at Wikipedia - believed this moustache-sporting playboy is a spoof. Ridiculous.
