SAWF Interview - A conversation with Dr. Stephen Slawek, and his music online
Mar 22, 2003 08:53 p.m.
Dr Stephen Slawek initiated a program, in North Indian Classical music, upon joining the faculty at the University of Texas(Austin) in 1983. Since then instruction on the sitar, tabla, and voice has remained a part of the curriculum at the University. Listen to his journey with North Indian Classical, including Pandit Ravi Shankar, and a performance of Shuddha Basant at http://www.sawf.org/music/interviews/slawek/slawek.asp?pn=Music. Complementing the conversation are some photos.

Dear Amitava,
Is it possible to send me the email adress from Dr. Slawek? I really enjoy listening to Raag Shudda Basant, there is no way to download the file, so I would like to get into contact with Dr. Slawek to see if it's possible to obtain an MP3 of the recording. I really like the it (but even with DSL it still stops a lot to buffer the file: bummer!)

Dear Remco,
The recording is at a rate on 1 meg/min (due to the high sample rate) and I think it is a long 30-45 min performance. I do not think that Dr. Slawek will mind you having the mp3 version, since anyone can record off the net in any case. The issue is storage space/delivery. Write to me at amitava.sarkar@paiindia.org and let me know the options.
