A conversation with Ian Brennan
Hidden Musics
Grammy-winning producer and author Ian Brennan has accumulated a resume that would make anyone in his fields blush. Brennan’s most pertinent and important work, however, isn’t as easily described with cast-iron achievements. Recent projects include ‘I Have No Everything Here’, – a bundle of songs performed by the Malawi prisoners of Zomba Central Prison – and ‘God Is Not A Terrorist’, the very first recordings of Pakistani khayal master Ustad Saami. These undertakings umbrella Brennan’s pursuit to highlight music that’s underrepresented or downright obscured within the global scale.
