Salt Lake City Composer/Multi-Instrumentalist/Producer Matches His Music To Latest Exhibition At World Famous Sex Museum
Las Vegas, NV (12/5/2023)-Salt Lake City-based composer/multi-instrumentalist/producer Mitchel Johnson provides two songs as the soundtrack to the exclusive exhibition of artist Luis Royo and his son Romulo, currently featured at the Erotic Heritage Museum. “Safe Words” and “Nocturnal Dysthymia” from Mitchel’s Murder of Fireflies electronica project, provide the perfect sexy soundtrack to the new exhibit set to be in residency at the E.H.M. until August.
The Erotic Museum’s Curator Katarina Bartley says of Johnson’s work, “Dark undertones are carried on an ethereal wave through Mitchel Johnson’s music. He creates a sound that is atmospheric and moody yet sensual. Much like the work of Luis and Romulo Royo, themes of dark sensuality grace the senses as the notes float through the air like a fantasy. Mitchel’s music presents an idea of a soft yet brutal woman who is not afraid to draw blood akin to the warriors shown in the Royos’ art.”
Dr. Victoria Hartmann, EHM’s Director adds; “We couldn’t be more excited to have Mitchel Johnson’s captivating musical style grace the magnificence of the Luis and Romolo Royo exhibit. His meticulous attention to detail in everything he does manifests into a unique and sensual sound that transfixes and transports the listener to another realm. His ‘Murder of Fireflies’ electronica project is a wonderful addition to the magic of the Royo style of artistry and the EHM’s efforts to make music a part of our exhibitions. We are humbled to have him become a part of the hallowed grounds of our Erotic Heritage.”
And Mitchel himself offers: First, I’d like to thank the Erotic Heritage Museum for putting together a badass exhibit that features one of my favorite all-time artists and for allowing me to be included in it. When I say Luis Roy is one of my favorite artists, it’s not an understatement. As an avid comic, fantasy and sci-fi reader, I’ve been surrounded by his work since I was a teenager. I consider it an honor to play a small part in the tribute to this fantastic artist.”
Both “Nocturnal Dysthymia” and “Safe Word,” currently enjoy over twenty thousand streams each on Spotify

ABOUT THE EROTIC HERITAGE MUSEUM
The Erotic Heritage Museum houses more than 24,000 square feet of permanent and featured exhibits, championing the wonders of erotic imagination, as depicted through artistic expressions of sex and love. The museum’s ethos is that sexual pleasure and its depiction are natural aspects of the human experience and that such celebrations of individual human sexuality (i.e., pleasure) must be made available to all, regardless of gender, race, or belief.
With so much of global erotic heritage undervalued, criticized, or even lost over time, the EHM is dedicated to the preservation of as much erotic heritage as is possible to display. Scouring the world for their exhibitions, The Harry Mohney Erotic Museum furthers its purpose by providing space for scientific and literary functions relating to sexual, emotional, mental and physical health. As such, the EHM is as much an assemblage of some of the most important sexual artifacts, tableau, and interactive exhibitions in the world as it is a one-of-a-kind lecture and classroom space. In addition to the Museum space, the EHM’s main theatre is home to the highly popular live show, Puppetry of the Penis, as well as film festivals, burlesque shows, and more.
As the Sexiest Museum in Sin City and a rare North American museum dedicated to the study of sexuality, the Erotic Heritage Museum is a must-go attraction for any tourist visiting Las Vegas. The Erotic Heritage Museum is owned and managed by the Harry Mohney Erotic Museum LCC, a Nevada corporation, located at 3275 Sammy Davis Jr Dr, Las Vegas, NV 89109.
