"Hello! I'm Dr Christopher Monk...
But Christopher or Chris is just fine. |
Here's some of the feedback I've received:
"I wanted to start building the chorus parts of this album, which in many ways are the most important element. My aim was to build up maybe a choir of about 100 voices. Well... I have in some songs about 140 voices singing in Anglo-Saxon, translated by our splendid medieval guru, Christopher Monk!" |
"Our company, Fuzzy Duck Creative, was commissioned to create a number of touch-screen interactives explaining Textus Roffensis for Rochester Cathedral. Chris was not only modest but an extremely thorough expert on how best to interpret this text for a modern and lay audience, and also recorded a friendly but authoritative voiceover for the interactives that exactly met the client's brief." |
"My Company Salix Games is making a video game that blends fantasy elements around real world events. We hired Chris to advise us on the early medieval period, so that we could establish a grounding for Arthurian Legend in 5th century Wales. This ranged from what these characters would have potentially worn to translations of spells into Old English. |
"Christopher Monk was an excellent speaker, down to earth and approachable. He gave the great impression that he wanted to share his knowledge with us all. Great!" |
"We were very pleased with the consultation services provided by Chris for our children's book, You Wouldn't Want To Be An Anglo-Saxon Peasant. He provided us with thorough, helpful suggestions about how we could improve the historical accuracy of our text and illustrations, whilst always keeping in mind the target audience and the aims of the project. Throughout the process, he remained enthusiastic, punctual, and highly capable." |
