Ideologically, generative AI is a 19th century technology: the flawed dream that once you have assembled a supposedly total archive of culture via technical media, you can use it to statistically derive new meaning from patterns of the past

My article ""Engaging with art song in lesser represented languages" has just been published OA - I consider what I call the linguistic regime of art song and suggest how we might challenge or flex it to encourage songs in lesser represented languages. journal.thebritishacademy.ac.uk/articles/14/...

My article "Singing about Singing: images of Choirs in Aquitanian 'versaria'" just came out today, open access - I discuss, at a time in which medieval monks spent several hours per day singing increasingly complex repertoires, what did it mean for them to sing in a choir?

British academics closing an e-mail after you've collaborated with them for 10 years: with all best wishes Spanish academics you don't know after you've exchanged two e-mails with them: A HUG A BIG HUG

I re-watched "In the mood for love", which made a big impact the first time 20+ years ago. I found myself thinking of Michael Denning's book "Noise uprising", how port cities became hubs for vernacular music to circulate (Spanish-language bolero sung by Nat King Cole to wannabe lovers in Hong Kong).

Digitization & cataloging is complete for the collection of the Armenian Church, Diocese of Aleppo: 174 manuscripts relocated from the Armenian Holy Forty Martyr’s Church in Aleppo. A rare survival from one of the most volatile centers of #Armenian Christianity. Learn more: https://bit.ly/49V9yXa

One highlight of the collection is an Armenian Gospel dating to 1338 CE (AODA 00033, pictured). An example of the Van Monastic School’s color, patterns, and artistry, the manuscript includes miniatures that illuminate episodes from the Gospels and the life of Christ. Originating from Arckē (modern-day Adilcevaz, Turkey), the manuscript was safeguarded and carried to Aleppo by survivors of the Armenian Genocide in 1919–1920, a testament to both its sacred significance and enduring historical legacy.
