| | Muslimgauze: Beyond the Veil (Richard Gehr) |
 | | The DIY agitambient unit known as Muslimgauze was formed in 1982 as a direct response to Israel's invasion of Lebanon, says Bryn Jones, its founder, leader, writer, and sole performer. |
 | | What Muslimgauze does is release mysteriously gorgeous music--lots of music: some 20 albums in a dozen years--inspired by the material specificity of a fact, event, or photograph. |
 | | The first Muslimgauze album, 1983's Kabul, was inspired by Russia's invasion of Afghanistan; the most recent, Hebron Massacre (Soleilmoon, PO Box 83296, Portland, OR 97283, which also distributes Staalplaat), "was written in response to the February 25, 1994 tragedy in Hebron," then recorded and mixed in Manchester's Abraham Mosque. |
