Muslimgauze is the brainchild of
Bryn Jones, a prolific
London composer who worked mainly with Indian and Middle Eastern tape loops and hand instruments to make a music that is simulatenously innovative and listenable. He is often compared to the experimental composers
Coil,
Merzbow,
Autechre,
Einstürzende Neubauten,
Noisex and
Negativland. Rather than rely heavily on the
Sturm und Drang of traditional experimental music, Jones' prolific career yielded a number of danceable tracks, which utilized traditional
dub-style production and live musicians. Muslimgauze live usually consisted of Bryn Jones playing traditional Arab hand instruments over tape loops.
Bryn Jones is also known for his highly politicized view about
US and
UK involvement in
Israel's subjugation of the nation of
Palestine. Similarly, a number of recordings exist in which Jones decries the state of global policy towards the
Arab world.
