Political beliefs

The name Muslimgauze was derived from the word "muslin," which is a type of gauze, and changed into an adjective describing the area in which he was interested. Muslin is a type of finely-woven Cotton fabric, introduced to Europe from the Middle East in the 17th century Gauze is a thin Translucent fabric with a loose open Weave. Its name may derive etymologically from the Persian word for He was a staunch supporter of Hamas and the PLO, and he believed Palestine should be "freed from the Zionists.

Musical career

He first began making music in 1982, under the alias of E. g Oblique Graph, to protest the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. Lebanon (ˈlɛbənɒn Arabic: ar لبنان Lubnān) officially the Republic of Lebanon or Lebanese Republic (ar الجمهورية اللبنانية 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. Year 1983 ( MCMLXXXIII) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link displays the 1983 Gregorian calendar) In 1990, the Australian record label Extreme signed him, but he left in 1994 for Dutch label Staalplaat and its sister American label Soleilmoon because his albums were not being released as promptly as he had wanted, and he was also not receiving payment. The Netherlands ( Dutch:, ˈnedərlɑnt is the European part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, which consists of the Netherlands the Netherlands Staalplaat is an Independent record label that is located in Amsterdam and recently opened up a separate store in Berlin. The United States of America —commonly referred to as the Since he had put out 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.

Strongly opposed to the use of computers and samplers in music, Jones always recorded his music with old analog equipment, but never equipment from the United States or Japan. The United States of America —commonly referred to as the For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic Japan topics. He would record himself playing various Middle Eastern instruments and record voices of Middle Eastern people from old tapes. The Middle East is a Subcontinent with no clear boundaries often used as a synonym to Near East, in opposition to Far East. Jones's music was heavily percussive; a review of a rare live performance notes that Jones used a "backing DAT tape with pretty harsh, rhythmic textures, his sort of patented spiralling hypnotic beat, to which he played on two or three different drums with great skill. "[2] He never looped his music; it was all recorded live, and edited/mixed afterwards. A remix is an alternative version of a song different from the original version The end result was often loud and staticky, with sudden changes in volume. Jones was never concerned with how many copies of his record were sold, or even how much listeners enjoyed his music, but rather how original his music was.

The Muslimgauze discography is vast. He released over 90 original albums on 32 different record labels, creating nearly 2,000 original songs. Many of his pieces were inspired by political facts or events. Many of his releases have been re-pressed as, after 1994, most of his albums were released in limited editions of 200–1000. Including re-pressings, he has 180 releases at the time of this writing, but the number is rapidly increasing.

Jones disliked live shows and was rarely asked to do them, so Muslimgauze performances were very rare, though he did quite a few for Law & Auder. He always stated that he never had time to listen to other people's music, although in a 1992 interview with Impulse Magazine, he mentioned that he enjoyed traditional music of Japan, the Middle East, and India, as well as the works of artists such as Can, Throbbing Gristle, Wire, and Faust.

Instead, he would usually take pieces of music that were sent to him and remix them to his own liking.
