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.”

“Take a Sound. Do Something to It. Do Something Else to It.”

This is the second release from double bassist Daniel Barbiero and electronic sound artist Steve Hilmy. An outgrowth of their work with the Nancy Havlik Dance Performance Group, their collaboration explores the creative applications of new technologies to conventional and extended performance techniques for the double bass.

1. Take a Sound. Do Something to It. Do Something Else to It.
2. A Multiplication of Voices (for Steve Hilmy)
3. Coda: Watching the Watchers

“Take a Sound. Do Something to It. Do Something Else to It.” and “Coda: Watching the Watchers” are two live improvisations for amplified double bass and real-time electronic processing recorded at An die Musik in Baltimore on 14 June 2012 and at Dance Exchange in Takoma Park, Maryland on 21 January 2012. “A Multiplication of Voices (for Steve Hilmy)” is an improvisation for solo double bass processed post-performance with the Granulab synthesizer program in April 2013.
