a message from SAWF Audio Interviews host, Amitava Sarkar

The reason you have been routed here, because parts of the interview/article you requested have been archived, due to a lack of server space. The objective is to keep this a community/volunteer based site moderately commercial free as much as possible. Currently with the resources available, only one interview/article with some music can be housed at a time.

How can I help?

With personal contributions
Sponsor a specific interview availability for a month (or specified duration)
You can request that an archived article/interview be placed online for a nominal fee of $7 for a month. It will cover the bandwidth and storage costs for the period. Note that it will make the interview available to everyone for the duration. To take advantage of this option, first contact me (amitava.sarkar@paiindia.org) with the following information

(1) The article you want retrieved
(2) The duration you wish to have it available to you.

Once we have worked out the schedule and logistics, you can send the donation to SAWF via Paypal. The interview will be made available at that point for the specified duration. You will be notified when it becomes available and archived. Longer durations for availability can also be supported. If you wish, your name can be acknowledged for the duration.

Help out with annual sponsorship
If you wish to support the music page for long stretches, you can contribute to the annual cost of the storage space and bandwidth by a small donation of $ 30 a year ($2.50/month). Once we obtain more sponsorship, we can support more interviews online and for longer duration. For the support, you not only get the goodwill of all other readers/listeners, but also acknowledgement on every interview/article in this section. Note that your offer is subject to certain restrictions.

Commercial Sponsorship:

The music sections are one of the most heavily accessed areas on SAWF. A major part of the traffic is generated by readers interested in classical music. This provides an excellent opportunity for a business or individual target the following products/services to this vertical market.

Music books
Musical instrument sales and repair services
Educational/instructional services
Educational aids/products
Music CDs/Tapes recordings
Audio & Video editing/publishing tools
Audio & Video equipment

A variety of options are available - from annual sponsorship to supporting specific articles at very reasonable rates. Note that only unobtrusive advertisement is permitted. Click here for an example. Exclusive ads in a particular product/service can be accommodated, as well as main page presence. Unsolicited contact with the readers will not be entertained. Please contact amitava.sarkar@paiindia.org SAWF (anita@sawf.org) for details on the options and costs. The rates are lower than the industry, since SAWF is managed by volunteers, and the objective for the sponsorship is to partly offset the costs incurred by us on procuring hardware, software and server space for our broadcasts.
