I was rather bored this week with all the old stuff my iphone shared with me - not that I wanted to explore something new to me, just wanted to refresh my usual list of names and tracks. So, for this week #ttt blog I pick up an artist whose name - I am more than sure - says nothing to you. The name is: Muslimgauze. Tags: #electronic, #industrial, #noise, #avantgarde, #arab, 1990-es.
Muslimgauze occupied a strange place in the musical world. He did not performed live, did not seek popularity; since mid-1980s he was hiding in his home studio in Manchester, UK, and digging a hole in his own unique direction. One of the iconic names in the world of electronic music and the industrial genre. His creative legacy is enormous - after his death in early 1996, various labels continued to explore and publish his archives, and of course, there appeared a lot of archival compilations and reissues of his old albums. The Guinness Book of Records even labelled him as the most prolific "dead" composer.
The first piece I selected is from 'Ingaza' album, it is very short - just 1:16.
I will certainly introduce you to more details of his biography and creative evolution in the future. If you are not afraid of the industrial genre, of course. Enjoy!!
Youtube indicates it was watched 53 times, and got two likes only, hehe. Enjoy the rare stuff! Welcome to the club :)
This tune is from the album 09 'Alms for Iraq' (2003) - YT video for it has as much likes as eight! (!) Lets raise awareness about this brilliant album.
A beautiful melody with a distinct Arabic flavor that captures you and pushes into the whirling dervish dance - but suddenly turns out it is destroyed, scratched and interrupted by industrial inserts, modernized, upgraded, intertwined with modern realities and current perception of life. In this track - as in a water drop - all Muslimgauze mastermind can be seen. Its a perfect track for the first acquaintance with this artist. The bonus and reward for all attentive followers who got here!
Чудесная красивая мелодия с отчетливым арабским привкусом, которая захватывает тебя и подталкивает к кружащему танцу дервишей - внезапно оказывается разрушенной, надломанной, поцарапанной и перебитой индустриальными вставками, модернизирована, апгрейдед, переплетена с сегодняшним днем и текущим восприятием жизни. В этом треке - как в капле воды - весь Муслимгаузе. Идеальный трек для первого знакомства с этим артистом. Бонус и награда для моих внимательных последователей, кто сюда добрался!
I hope you enjoyed today's music selection, and travelling around the globe without leaving the Hive. 😎 The post goes for Three Tune Tuesday challenge run by .
