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".
