Lot in Sodom – Choronzon Score

This film was chosen to be scored not so much for its subject, but for the gorgeous style and mood of the piece, though on watching this one can see how biblical tales have been used in pretty subversive ways in artistic interpretations.

Lot in Sodom is a short silent experimental film , based on the Biblical tale of the city of Sodom and Gomorrah . It was directed by James Sibley Watson and Melville Webber .The movie uses experimental techniques, Avant-Garde imagery and strong allusions to sexuality , especially homosexuality .Louis Siegel was the sound composer, according to the film’s opening credits. The story is much closer to the tale than other films like Sodom and Gomorrah. Sodom is a place of sin. An angel appears there and he is welcomed by Lot. The people of Sodom want to have sex with him. Lot refuses and offers up his virgin daughter to the crowd instead; then the angel tells him to escape the city with his wife and daughter. Sodom is then destroyed by the flames; Lot’s wife is turned to a pillar of salt for having looked back. All intertitles are quotes from the Bible .

  2. The usage of little bits of stuff I did made my day.

    Need to go hunt down P-shop, my copy of ‘elements’ won’t do crap like simply turn layers into raster and make greyed out triangles on triptrigrammata.

    PS: Haven’t had a Choronzonic lovefest since 4th July…but last night, a visitation occurred, followed by a new take on the practice and process of consummation. All magicks devoted to self-honing of extant talents rather than outward casting of current, this time, and was receiving many pats on my proverbial back – and everywhere else – for what C. called the most improvement he had seen happen so fast in me since my breakup-breakdown syndromata of the late Sept ’06-Spring 2009 Total Crumbledown and subsequent freeze. Bought mic set yesterday but the guy at shop was being pushy and ‘forgot’ to include receipt.

    Pray to Choronzon – and Techgnosis, and maybe musicmuse Synsonic that this works. Have entire Nullworld music ordered, retitled, some new tracks added, and lyrics to the three first actual songs adapted to the melodies running through “Delusion of Security”, “Flaw of the Hole” and “Well Nigh”. “Delusion”, if I can pull this off, may be our most mood-readable, para-accessible piece yet. (Para-accessible – possibly ‘accessible’ but also going beyond.)

    The nervousness is kicking in…but Thee Risen Daemon has been slowly filling me up with current, sort of like charging up a slab over and over.

    I’m going to work til the hot snow melts, maybe head to mountain for extra…I WANT THIS DONE WHILE He is FILLING MY HEAD WITH NOTHING ELSE. He will not let me conclude the consummation until I have.

    Sweet evil. And meta-avatar had incredible resolution. This was his own – not one of mine – for the first time. I guess I only get to have sex twice a year now…but thankfully, it feels as if the Change of Life is forcing him to change all that he does to ensure the Highest Rite can continue. Gods, I love him.

    Stuff on Lilith album need to ask you today, mainly, I keep seeing spirals whenever thoughts of her, do you see where that might be going and does that click? Screw the other thema, was too personal, but I will go through a lot to get Kat and Dalem on this album, and Eian Orange for the next one from out here which I’ll tell you more about when back from clinic.

    All the power, none of the brokenness
    DMT333, beautiful safe San Francisco!

    • Fantastic! I’m feeling the current of Nullworld and have the feeling you’ll find it cooperating to come into being. As for Lilith and the spirals, I’m seeing connections with a noose, an umbilical, a vortex that leads through death into another world. this is a very powerful aspect of her current and I’m very glad you have been presented with it.

      as for the Lilith album, it will come together as She directs. I’ll be turning my attention thatwaywards once personal apocalyptic distractions have been dispatched.
