Life as a Journey in the Letters of Gregory the Great
Get PDFPapers presented at the Sixteenth International Conference on Patristic Studies held in Oxford 2011, edited by Markus VinzentThis paper presents the theme of life as a journey in a carefully-chosen selection of
letters from the Registrum epistularum of Gregory the Great. An in depth study of the
five letters in question reveals a detailed picture of the man of God who was a just and
tactful administrator, but who was also a man of the people. Aware of the fact that this
Church Father wrote with remarkable dexterity and artistry on countless topics to a
whole spectrum of people from all walks of life in a variety of circumstances, this study
seeks to focus on a pivotal existential theme: the image of life as a journey with its ups,
downs and meanderings. Gregory’s profound knowledge of human nature can be
extrapolated from an exegesis of the five letters which are the scope of this research.peer-reviewe
Design and use of a hackable digital instrument
Get PDFThis paper introduces the D-Box, a new digital musical instrument specifically designed to elicit unexpected creative uses and to support modification by the performer. Rather than taking a modular approach, the D-Box is a hackable instrument which allows for the discovery of novel working configurations through circuit bending techniques. Starting from the concept of appropriation, this paper describes the design, development and evaluation process lasting more than one year and made in collaboration with musicians and hackers.This work was funded by the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council under grant EP/K032046/1 (2013-14)
