about

Since 2010, many netlabels and artists publish their new free music releases on the clongclongmoo website. Free means that you don't have to pay anything or register to download music. However, you can usually pay something to support the artists. Please note the licenses under which the music is published. This is important to know what you are allowed to do with the music. Please visit the labels' homepages to get the free music. Most files are published under a creative commons licence. At netlabellist you will find an extensive list of websites that also offer (or have offered) free music. If you run a netlabel yourself or offer your music for free and want to draw attention to it, you are welcome to use the submission form. And remember that clongclongmoo is not there to do business, because “Business Is Not My Music.”

update, February 1st, 2026

Dear friends and followers of clongclongmoo. It's great to have you here. As you may have noticed, the site has changed a bit. Some people wanted to be able to access the music with fewer clicks. That should work again now. Here's a quick note to everyone who uses relatively new platforms such as Mirlo, Faircamp, or Coop: feel free to use the submit form to draw attention to your new music. I'd especially appreciate hearing from anyone who runs a netlabel with free Creative Commons music. Thank you! Konrad from clongclongmoo

Summons of Shining Ruins – Shiho

[RB114]

Summons of Shining Ruins

“Shiho”

2012 will end the same way the year has begun: With a release by Summons of Shining Ruins. And it will be a double release. The first part is “Shiho”. Most of you know this project by Shinobu Nemoto. He released his work on labels like Install, Experimedia, Dead Pilot Records, Analogpath, Against It Records or on his own imprint Moufu – Rokuon.

“Shiho” is a four track work with a total duration of 36 minutes. Shinobu only works with an electric guitar and a feedback device. And with this minimal setup he creates an amazing sharp and clear soundscape. Guitar tones are swirling around like snow flakes or gusts of frosty winter wind. Like his other works as Summons of Shining Ruins, “Shiho” has a very elemental and essential feeling. Stripped down to the bones and condensed to the essence.

Enjoy Shinobu’s work in preparation of the holiday season and look forward to the second release, coming around the end of the year.
