PhD
I'm going to continue adding some material to this blog - mainly images that are useful for the PhD work I've started. I say 'started' although the past few weeks have been a real blur. It's really only the last few days that I've been able to sit down and fully consider what it is that will be my main focus. In a nutshell, it's about design for 'anonymous' music.
This week's plan is to complete and submit the researcher's ethical approval form to the university so that I can properly start the interviews that I need to carry out. I also have a literature review that needs completing over the next month plus an updated research proposal that should be filed for the beginning of January.

The Aesthetics of Music
A few last minute things to complete regarding some visual material for the introductions, and then I'll be heading to The Aesthetics of Music panel. I'll try and take some pictures.
I have a meeting this week with Michael Goddard, Lawrence Giles and David Sanjek regarding my PhD too. I actually met David for the first time at a brunch-time welcome event for the new music post-grads yesterday. I had read some of his work prior to this. But it's going to be great having his experience to draw from once I get started properly. Oh, and I found the (shared) office that I'll be using. It has windows. Again, I'll try to get some snaps of what could loosely be described as "the view".

This week
I will be moderating on that panel at Un-Convention at the People's History Museum on Saturday. Before that, I'm teaching on 'Introduction to Media', 'Introduction to Popular Culture' and 'Critical Thinking and Writing'.
My teaching obligations have actually meant that I don't have time to do the classes that teach me how to teach this semester. I've had to postpone those until January. [When I should also be doing the second year 'Music Journalism' module again.]
There was an additional university offer of learning another language for free but timetable clashes have meant that I won't be able to expand my French vocabulary beyond ordering beer for a while. Oh, and I've officially started on my PhD. I had a great time online ordering books the other day. It's like Christmas here. Only every 'present' turns out to be a book of some description.
I also think that I've passed my Masters. Officially I won't know for sure - specifically regarding grades - until January. But due to my PhD offer based on a condition of MA completion, Lawrence had to give the past year the nod so that I could start on this pretty epic study.
A bit gutted that I'm alone on this one, by the way. I'll miss Amy, Dave and Nicky.

Un-Convention Poster Separations
The poster I proposed for Un-Convention will be getting printed and displayed as part of the conference/festival. I've just been doing the separations for it and, given how much time I've spent there already this month, it will be nice that it will be someone else at Hot Bed that will be printing them.
The stipulated colours are respectively a metallic silver, a chartreuse-like shade [picked as #381] and black. Obviously, Pantone colours are less useful within a screen-print studio but that's just a guide. Anywhere between a yellow and acid green would be nice. And I think the poster stock tends to be cream.
