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".
