Porch Swing Orchestra is an art project that pairs music recorded outside with images made on-site, performed, and recorded at home and away, solo, and along with others.

Our orchestra is comprised of birds, guitars, artists, poets, and passing cars who spontaneously create ephemeral, symphonic, chance-inspired compositions.

The original site and hub for all things PSO can be found at porchswingorchestra.org.
