Muslimgauze: Chasing the Shadow of Bryn Jones (2013)

Directed by Iara Lee

Documentary · 4m

Beginning in 1982, after Israel's invasion of Lebanon, the Manchester-born musician's obsession with Middle Eastern conflict began. His music, a mix of industrial, hip-hop, techno, and dubstep, and usually without any lyrics, could never easily be identified for its politics. But his pro-Palestinian beliefs were at the center of his inspiration. As the head of Muslimgauze's first long-term record label recalls about their first meeting, "We didn't talk about music, we talked about politics and the whole situation that brought his music to life."Mixing news broadcast recordings, drum kit beats, pots and pans, and classic instrumentals, Muslimgauze pioneered a new style of music that sounded little like anything else at the time or since.
