Missing Music: Voices from Where the Dirt Roads End
details Grammy-winning music producer and author Ian Brennan's ongoing
quest to provide musical platforms for underrepresented nations and
populations around the world.
In a compact and quick-read format, Missing Music
collects the latest narratives from Brennan's field-recording treks.
This edition features a greater emphasis on storytelling and an even
greater abundance of photos from his wife, Italian-Rwandan
photographer/filmmaker Marilena Umuhoza Delli.
Together, they meet
the elderly shamans of the world's most musical language, Taa, a tongue
that sadly is dying, with fewer than 2,500 speakers left. The duo
traveled the most remote roads of Botswana to find the formally nomadic
people now relegated to small desert towns.
In Azerbaijan, Brennan
and Delli ascended to the mountainous Iranian border to record
centenarians in scattered villages of the Talysh minority, where the
world's oldest man reportedly reached the age of 168. The result is the
only record ever released to feature the voices of singers over
one-hundred years of age.
Among other tales, Brennan also updates
the saga of the Sheltered Workshop Singers following COVID, including
the tragic deterioration of his sister, Jane.
Arising from the
more than forty records that Brennan has produced over the past decade
from underrepresented nations such as Comoros, Djibouti, Romania, South
Sudan, Suriname, and Cambodia, Missing Music serves as the
newest suite in the multiverse symphony of the world's most ignored
corners--the places where countries expire and the "forgotten" live.

Like it was written by George Santos
Received an Advanced Reader Copy from a friend. I am an avid true crime reader and upon completion I question if the author is credible. The timeline does not add up for his age and the times of his alleged involvement in organized crime. Some of the things in the book he is alleged to have said and done I remember almost word for word from movies I had previously watched. He literally stole a scene from the movie the accountant with Ben Affleck and said that he did it. I did a little research after completing the book and learned that this author was also claiming in 2010 that he was a long time member of the Bloods Gang. That coupled with the above leads me to believe that it is nothing more than fantasy. Do not waste your time or money

What a difficult story to tell. I appreciate the honesty and vulnerability. Definitely made me think.
I had hopes for this book but was not expecting what I would read within the pages. If your kink is deplorable grammar, incoherent sentences, and inconsistent messages, then this book is for you. At first, I thought the book I received was not the book I ordered. But as I dived in, it was very confusing. I would not recommend this book to anyone
There are not many reviews on the internet for this book. In researching the many stores selling the book, it was self-published which makes a lot of sense. The online description is written perfectly, so reading the actual book was very difficult. Pages two and three are written clearly as well as the table of contents. Pages 155 and 156 are also written logically.
It appears this book was written, then sent through a program like “Grammarly.” Once completed it seems it was published without being re-read or edited. The first clue was the title narrative that used “Has” instead of “As.” The table of contents is one page off from what it shows on pages four though seven. Many of the “q’s” are written as “[]”
Below are some examples of what was within the pages of this book written verbatim:
“Chains & Discipline/ Domination & entry/ Sadism & Masochism (BDSM) is a wide classification of bed room play.” Page 9
“When bringing up the topic of chains, you are actually asking a person to offer you their depend on, their flexibility, and also possibly their suggestion of security in exchange for sensual/sexual enjoyment, power-play, and also feasible re-evaluation of your very own connection.” Page 39
“Techni[]ue can take a selection of kinds and also be as easy or facility as you pick to (new paragraph) bargain for your details scenario” Page 52
“BDSM stands for chains as well as entry, technique and also supremacy as well as sadism and also masochism.” Page 125
“SHELF means Risk Aware Consensual Kink.” Page 130
“Approval is whatever.” Page 152
“your twist isn’t my twist, yet your twist is OKAY.” Page 153
“You can be a top, base, or button” Page 153
Good service, good book. Just what I was looking for! Thank you!
