Biography

Muslimgauze was the stage name of Bryn Jones (June 17, 1961 - January 14, 1999), an extremely prolific British electronic music artist, strongly influenced by everything to do with the Middle East. The name Muslimgauze was derived from the word “muslin,” which is a type of gauze and, somehow, it was changed into an adjective describing the area in which he was interested. He was a staunch supporter of Hamas and the PLO, and he believed Palestine should be freed from the Israelis. Born in Manchester, England, United Kingdom, he never visited the Middle East because he believed it was wrong to visit an occupied land.

He first began making music in 1982, under the alias of E.g Oblique Graph, to protest the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. He released three cassettes and a 7” EP as E.g Oblique Graph: “Extended Play” (1982), “Piano Room” (1982), the 7” “Triptych” (1982), and “Inhalt” (1983). After he changed his name to Muslimgauze, he released a 7” EP (“Hammer & Sickle”), his first full-length LP (“Kabul”), and another cassette (“Opaques”) in 1983. In 1990, the Australian record label Extreme signed him, which he left in 1994 for Dutch label Staalplaat and its sister American label Soleilmoon because his releases were not being released as promptly as he had wanted and he was also not receiving payment, and since he had put forth seven releases since he signed, money was becoming a problem. His output was always very high. In 1995, he had six releases; in 1996, fifteen; in 1997, nine; in 1998, sixteen. After his death, the many record companies he had associated with released unreleased material and re-pressed older, out-of-print material. In 1999, the year of his death, twenty-two new (and old) albums and EPs on several media were released.

    There's no evidence of an extermination master plan neither of the existence of industrial-scale gas chambers. Many well-researched books have been written about what you inquire. Some of the allegations defy principles of science. And logic. Historical revisionists are vilely persecuted in certain countries, even jailed, for nothing other than stating the facts of their research. What is the problem? It's a lie that has to be maintained, that's the problem. If there is a truth and an alternative truth, let's have them side by side. One will be laughed out of existence.
