Audience of One is the weblog of Matthew Weston, a UK student, Christian, technophile and musician.
My favourite quote from these articles?
However, instead of killing Nazis in a castle, the player takes the part of Noah, who needs to throw fruits and grain at stray animals.
Is it any wonder many Christians are simply thought to be nice, harmless and a little bit strange?

Thought I’d show a little of what I’m actually doing with my degree. This is a piece of music I wrote this week – and when I say this week, I mean that I started writing it on Tuesday and have only had eight or so hours to work on it. The recording isn’t great, it’s quite stylised, the timpani sounds even more out of tune than normal and the ending is pretty rubbish. All that said, I was reasonably happy with it.
The piece is called “Dentetsuteki Kawa”, which was my attempt at translating “Legendary River” into Japanese, using a combination of Google Translate and Wikipedia. Don’t ask how I got the name, because I’ve since forgotten and Google Translate tells me my name doesn’t make sense. So if someone can transliterate (into Romaji) “伝説の川” I would be most grateful. Until then, this name sticks. (The last bit is “no kawa”, I know that much.)
Edit: The piece is now officially called “Densetsu no Kawa”, and I’ll edit the score to reflect that once I get a chance. MP3 file updated.

It’s raining.
(This is part one of a series exploring whether it’s better to keep updating a blog while expending no effort, or not update a blog. Come back soon for part two!)

Somehow appropriate for the final lecture of the first year, we watched a video of a robotic bagpipe player. (With apologies for the bad pun of the title.)

Today, I wrote the phrase “sublimity not beauty”1 in an essay. Just as I’d finished typing, Supermassive Black Hole by Muse came on. I’m not quite sure what comment to make. From the sublime to the ridiculous, perhaps?
Currently listening to Muse – Invincible.
