Russia Beyond the Headlines: How do you select the music for the website FarfromMoscow.com?
Davide MacFayden: From the beginning I had to search for the music myself during many trips to Russia. It took a great deal of physical effort, but now an enormous amount of material is at online, and due to the success of the webpage, much of the content is actually sent to me. There is a constant flow of audio files between L.A. and Moscow.
Unfortunately, though, everything on the plat is written by me. It would be wonderful if the project was completely bilingual, but that’s physically impossible. It takes all my time to do things in English. I tried to calling in two languages last year, but it meant that everything slowed down by 50 percent.
