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 Miro, 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

“de·sí·di·a”

The evermoving premise of osorganistasdamorte&dofuturo puts the obvious frailties of the human psyche bare. In one of his most iconic dialogues, Rustin Cohle shoots: “I think human consciousness is a tragic misstep in human evolution”.

This is the strongest thesis of dialogue, but it is not the only one. The second affirms the unfortunate result of this same consciousness: the notion of an “I”. Finally, the solution: the denial of programming towards extinction. It is within this notion of “nightmare of consciousness” the three tracks of de·sí·di·a live in.

However, the solution pointed out rather goes through a state of emotional anesthesia, that is, to be located over or on the margins of the process which transforms sensation in emotion. The continuous drone contributes to the effect as does the ongoing confusion of delays, obscured voices and various environmental electronics notes. Rhythmic elements are identifiable but are always subdued to a wall of sound reminiscent of the best noise “tradition”.

This constant imbalance between an oppressive background and fleeting emersions of rhythm or melody are dialogues somewhere between death and future, breaking the barriers that define one or the other. It is in the domain of the strange and the shapeless that de·sí·di·a is installed as the last stronghold in the face of the inadequacy of consciousness to which Cohle alludes: sufficiently developed to install a reasonable certainty of doubt, but forcefully and permanently insufficient.
