I’ve Forgotten Now Who I Used to Be collects extraordinary field recordings made at Ghana’s infamous “witch camps” – settlements where women accused of witchcraft can find safety and community. Recorded at multiple locations in Ghana, the songs featured on I’ve Forgotten Now Who I Used to Be are largely “instant compositions,” created using objects from the immediate environment for instrumentation – corn husks, a tea-pot, tin cans, tree limbs, and a balloon. Hailed as the modern heir to the legendary ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax, Ian Brennan has amassed one of the largest and most diverse bodies of field recordings in history, helping give voice to the voiceless!
