It’s time for another edition of From the Maslanka Archive. We are actively building the Archive, but it won’t be ready for public viewing for a while. In the meantime, we wanted to show off some great items we’ve already collected.
We also wanted to inspire YOU to help grow the collection. We would love to feature you in an upcoming edition! Simply provide us with photos, video, audio, or stories of your time together and you may find them on the front page.
This week, we are excited to feature an episode from Montana Public Radio’s Musician’s Spotlight featuring John Floridis interviewing David about his music and background as a composer.
Listen below to a special rebroadcast of Musician’s Spotlight: A Conversation With Composer David Maslanka from August 24, 2017. The original episode was recorded in 2009 and obtained here.
From Montana Public Radio:
John Floridis, the host and producer of Musician’s Spotlight, has been with Montana Public Radio since 1997. He has interviewed over 200 musicians during that time from household names like B.B. King, Alison Krauss and Lyle Lovett, to Montana musicians such as Eden Atwood, Darko Butarac and Tom Catmull. He is also an independent recording and performing artist in his own right and a former registered music therapist.
