Posthumous Activity
Since Bryn Jones's death in 1999 at the age of 37, Muslimgauze music continues to be released; this is planned to continue until his catalog is fully available for sale to the public. He often inundated labels and collaborators with music; consequently, the latter had to be selective of what was finally put out. Because of demand for unreleased music, labels continue to air material previously unreleased. New material is often stylistic variations of previously released albums. In fact, Jones made large numbers of studio variations of nearly all his music.
Bryn Jones is survived by his nephew Gareth Jones, who reportedly is in charge of the Muslimgauze estate, which includes rights-of-ownership and royalties.

Famous quotes containing the words posthumous and/or activity:
“One must be a living man and a posthumous artist.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
“To play is nothing but the imitative substitution of a pleasurable, superfluous and voluntary action for a serious, necessary, imperative and difficult one. At the cradle of play as well as of artistic activity there stood leisure, tedium entailed by increased spiritual mobility, a horror vacui, the need of letting forms no longer imprisoned move freely, of filling empty time with sequences of notes, empty space with sequences of form.”
—Max J. Friedländer (1867–1958)
