enigma and sex!

heh. wanted to write this down for a while, never had the patience. just gonna c&p it from a convo w/ katya on AIM:

D: and dude, my mind goes to sex for almost EVERYTHING enigma does.

K: *nod* yeah

D: the first CD?

K: or.. talls cliffs looking over the sea

D: one HUGE sex-centered cinematic experience for me. oddly enough, it was also really spiritual, almost.

K: just... something about nature, really

K: tantric. *grins*

K: (kamasutrakamasutrakamasutra) all about spirituality, baby. heheh.

K: maybe the only way i can achieve orgasm is through tantric sex. *muse*

K: ok.. listening to cross of changes now

D: *LOL* actually it was... i dunno, odd.

D: cool, though.

D: it was christianity-based.

D: but ... a LOT of sex.

K: methinks iwant to start having your dreams

D: it wasn't a dream!

K: cool.. and gooooooood because its just so bad.

D: it was like a daydream.

K: like.. fucking an angel!

K: ok not quite. *muse*

D: *LOL* it WAS sorta fucking-an-angel-idea'd

K: really?

K: *laugh*]

K: pinned ya!!!

D: well, i wasn't in it.

D: i was just watching, like a movie.

K: really? shame.

K: voyeur!

D: basically - well. first you have that introduction

D: and then this panorama unfolds

D: like this monastery hiiiigh on a mountain

D: the lighting's all golden/red and artistic

D: and it's like, dawn

D: WAY high on a mtn - nothing but clouds beneath

K: you know.. there is this kickass monastery i would love to go visit.. if i weren't so afraid of heights.

K: oh lightning!

D: and you have all the monks kinda filing into morning prayers or something

K: i love lightning. i wish i had your visual.s

D: no - foggish clouds, like the ones under the golden gate bridge

D: and all lit up golden and red

D: and all these dark-cloaked monks going to the chapel

K: chanting/

K: ?

D: yup. that's the chanting.

K: medieval christianity is a league of its own

D: and you know how there's like - one guy chanting

D: and all these people answering?

D: that's like lead monk leading the monks in it

K: man this is gonna make me want to read some badass medieval erotica. *laugh*

D: but then that woman speaking?

D: heh.

D: so...all the monks were at the chapel except for one - the protagonist - who's in his room

D: and he's, er, jerking off in front of a virgin mary statue.

D: (but it was all weirdly RELIGIOUS! like - religious rapture, only... physical?)

D: brb - i'll tell you the rest later.

K: jerking off is SUCH an inelegant, and not altogether sexy, way of saying it.

D: masturbating!?

D: stroking off?

K: ack! i hate that word!

D: touching himself!

D: *LMAO*

K: no! there must be a better way.. *muse*

K: i guess touching is the closest.. *muse*

D: self-pleasure?

D: *LMAO*

K: to the virgin mary though!?!?!?!?

D: YES.

D: it was fucked up

K: pleasuring thyself.

D: *dies*

D: but - okay

D: then, after that.

K: thats just.. damon... you had your noggin checked recently?

D: you know how there's 3 songs in one in that first track?

D: the first is sadeness

D: the second is principles of lust

K: needs some serious examination. i reckon you got some messages going through these dreams. *laugh*

D: then sadeness again?

K: *nod*

D: IT'S NOT A DREAM!! it was like a vision! like imagination. daydreaming, almost, only i wasn't in it.

K: vision is worse!

D: and - okay. so the second song, he sneaks out of the monastery

D: goes to a whorehouse

K: i mean.. what if you were prophetic and these all really MEANT things!!!

D: ensue massive debauchery

K: although dude, maybe you should write a book about this.i think i'd buy it, with your writing style. *smirk*

D: *dies* maybe i'll write it for nano this year.

D: i actually thought about nanoing it out

D: but i was too embarrassed

D: it is ALL

D: ABOUT

D: SEX, man

K: do it@

K: i'd so read it@

D: the WHOLE PLOT IS SEX

D: SEX SEX SEX AND MORE SEX

K: god. i can't do exclamations!!

K: so what?

K: you know.. writing about sex is HARD

D: *LOL* well - and kind of a fall from grace/redemption story beneath it.

D: NO SHIT

D: i feel stupid

K: to make it.. steamy and hot but not crass.

K: hee. thats why roleplays are good. *grins*

K: but in truth, as soon as you start getting explicit - he puts his cock here, and there and.. yeah. just the word cock its like.. ARGH!

K: and then.. if you use manhood? *laughs* sounds sooooooo silly.

K: hmm. sex is usually safe.. mebbe.

K: "the heat of his sex"

K: actually sounds silly too. *frowns*

K: ok.. don't get into specifics.

K: just talk about the positions. hahaha

K: i think you'd do a great job though.

D: no. cock is the only acceptable word.

but *LMAO* duuuude.

D: okay - want me to tell you the rest, or just save it for the never-to-be-written nano?

K: no tell me!

K: (and you should do it)

K: or just.. write it. give it to me and i'll give my opinion

K: can be a secret pet project of yours.

K: if it gets me hot and bothered, extra brownie points for success!! *grins*

D: *would be so entirely too embarrassed*

D: and okay

D: so.

K: why?? *blinks*

D: when the next sadeness comes in

K: *laugh* actually i probably would in the same situation.

D: the third part of the song?

D: it's like - orgy over

K: unless i came up with a really good plot.

K: *nod*

D: and he's like - still feeling unsatisfied? well - not physically, but like, empty, not whole.

K: emotionally. *muse*

K: unsatiated.

D: spiritually.

so, callas went away starts, and he goes wandering down the mountain.

K: *loves that word*

D: and hence all that nature sound - birds and water and stuff

K: *nod*

K: *laugh* i almost want to play this out in a scene. would be so cool!

D: he goes wandering, and like, passes the gates of the convent.

K: oh dear. poor nuns.

K: *grins*

D: and sees one of the nuns?

D: and it's like - still point of the turning world.

D: the WHOLE song, is just him like, STARING, slow-mo

K: wow.

K: maybe you should make this a short film. *giggles*

D: fortunately it's not that long a song.

it'd seriously work better as film, heh.

D: as story it'd be too overwrought.

K: the concept, however, could be... fun.

D: and like - well, not just staring, but like. he stares at her, she notices him, she stares at him, they kinda meet at the gate

D: oh yeah, and it's like - night by now

D: pouring rain, but not cold?

D: warmly drenching

K: like thousands of moist kisses. *giggles*

K: hahah

D: and then, of course, the kiss through the wrought-iron gate.

K: *nod*

K: CASANOVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

K: we have FOUND our man!

K: isn't casanova reputed to have been given a.. headjob actually.. by a nun through an iron gate?

D: fade to black. mea culpa. it opens on like - them, in the woods behind the convent, BUCK NAKED, obviously having fucked all night. it's pitch black, the hours before dawn.

D: and like - they can hear the drums. and it's like OH SHIT, THE MONKS ARE COMING FOR US

K: (i love you rocks... *sighs happily*)

D: (apparently they very martial monks)

K: *laugh*

D: and then when the backbeat comes in?

D: they jump up and start, like, running away through the forest

D: and then it's this interspersed scene

D: in the present, they're hauling ass for leather

D: but in flashbacks, it's like - really hot sex.

K: does their skin get scratched and bloody from trees and shrubs, and leaves in their hair and dirt on their bodies?

K: wow... intense vision there, Damon.

D: well, they kinda dress first, but all messily. and then they get holes torn in clothes and get all bloodied, yeah.

K: flashbacks and everything.

D: it was INTENSE. it's not even half done yet *LOL*

D: so - like this interspersement of the present frantic ESCAPE

D: and the past frantic FUCKING

K: *laugh*

K: its all about escape, really.

D: (the girl panting throughout is like... the same for both)

D: and then, of course, they get caught at the end.

D: the girl gets dragged off, and i don't know what happens to her. the guy's is the protagonist.

D: in the Voice and the Snake

D: it's basically his trial?

K: *nod*

D: but it's really creepy and mystical, a lot of smoke-effects, hooded figures with no faces, condemning him.

D: and then knocking on forbidden doors

K: *nod* very ritualistic.

D: you know how there's that "knocking" sound? the pounding?

D: well - in my version, that was hammering. they nailed him to a cross!!!

K: ack.. i don't know the inbetween songs that well.

K: cross! ouch!

K: ok. religious symbols.. yay!

K: that has to be a fav. :P

D: and you know how there's like - a guy (i think it's the main enigma guy) going "mother" or something throughout? apparently that was him kinda - calling out to the virgin mary?

D: sorta like a reflection of the whole father why have you forsaken me thang?

K: hmm. i need to listen to the album again

D: and then back to the rivers of belief - it's all quiet at the beginning, right?

D: that's cuz he's like, been put up on the crucifix

D: and is kinda dangling there

K: (and how can you not like carly's song!!!!!?!?!?!)

K: hmm. does he escape, or is that it?

D: and it's like this ... delirious dream-sequence, almost, interspersed again: in his mind he's envisioning rain and limpid pools and, heh, fucking his girl

K: you know.. there's something really raw and primal about that vision which really appeals to the senses..

K: like god vs man almost

D: and in reality he's baking under the sun.

D: (which vision?)

K: well.. that.. dream thing

D: and there's all these monks gathered, watching, and he's just up there all bloodied and crack-lipped and ... AWFUL LOOKING, dying?

K: and yet the defiance remains.

D: and then it kinda fades into the low backbeat again, and the monks have drifted off. it's night.

D: and it goes back to the woman speaking again - and yeah! sorta defiance.

K: so man against god, man against restraints, man against control.

D: oh, this is where he remembers screwing the nun-chick.

K: reminds me of the Marquis de Sade

D: (well, Sadeness IS named after him...)

K: but.. not as... umm.. sadistic. *laugh*

D: and then it goes on for a while

K: is it?

D: slower sex this time. kinda dreamy, almost

K: never knew that. *laugh*

D: and then - you know how it SUDDENLY swells into that "take me back to the rivers of belief" part?

D: it's like - i dunno. hard to describe.

K: no!! *pouts* cos i don't know the album that well.

D: you gotta relisten.

D: save this convo, listen, and follow along *LOL*

K: need to listen again and read through your ... yeah. do that.

D: but - yeah, the swelling, it's like - sunrise? sorta?

D: but not. it's BLAZING white light

D: and then the silence

D: "And when the lamb opened the seventh seal, silence covered the sky."

D: --he dies.

D: and then the music again, and everything, and this time it's like - this bird's eye view soaring over this GORGEOUS forest

K: you have.. there are words??

K: and.. thats sorta sad.

K: awesome though. utterly awesome.

D: and gradually spiraling higher and higher? and you see the whole panorama spanned out

K: you should write it down.. to never forget it.

D: and kinda - just - GLORIOUS, man. it was awesome. and then that gradually eventually fades out.

D: it's kinda sad? but more like, WHOA. because it was totally redemption, you know?

K: *nod* yeah.

D: or more that he'd never been wrong in seeking physical love.

K: *laugh* dangerous.

D: it was cool. it was REALLY vivid. heh. i dunno where it came from.

K: you should write it.

K: man.. even the staring bit.. that could be so easily written.. powerfully too.

D: heh. it was seriously cool, "seeing" it. it was just riveting.

D: i gotta post! brb

K: YOU NEED TO WRITE IT.

D: *LMAO* I WILL!
