“Where ancient wisdom rocks the soul!”
This is the first post on the Augustinus Vox blog — thank you for being here!
Augustinus Vox is more than a band. It’s a project born from a restless heart, dedicated to bringing the timeless wisdom of Augustine of Hippo and his fellow ancient voices to life through the power of music. Inspired by retro 1980s rock and ballad styles, each album reimagines Augustine’s writings — from his early Cassiciacum dialogues to his later works — as concept albums that sing of philosophy, poetry, and faith.
But music is only the beginning. I also plan to host other content, all aimed at opening up the world of the ancients in fresh and creative ways. Along the way, I’ll also share how modern tools — especially artificial intelligence — can help bring these treasures of the past into the present in exciting new forms.
Think of this blog as a journey: part musical diary, part philosophical exploration, part creative workshop. Together, we’ll explore what it means to let Augustine’s voice (and those of his contemporaries, like Ambrose) speak again in our time.
Thank you for checking out Augustinus Vox. The adventure is just beginning — and I hope you’ll join me as we follow the restless search for truth and the ascent of the soul.
