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.”

“Sound Places: Serra do Açor, Vol. 1”

Este trabalho sonoro foi produzido com base em gravações sonoras de campo realizadas na Serra do Açor, nomeadamente na Mata da Margaraça – Área Protegida da Serra do Açor – e nas aldeias
de Monte Frio, Porto Silvado, Pomares e Gramaça, pertencentes aos concelhos de Arganil e Oliveira do Hospital, respectivamente.
Sound Places: Serra do Açor, Vol. 1, como o nome indica, constitui o primeiro trabalho de uma série dedicada à Serra do Açor e a algumas das suas aldeias.
As paisagens e marcos sonoros que as compõem, que delas
fazem parte e lhes conferem identidade, são a base de trabalho para esta série, no seguimento do trabalho artístico de arquivo e documentação sonora que venho desenvolvendo desde 2008, apelando igualmente à escuta criativa dos lugares que fazem parte deste território e a um conhecimento sensitivo dos mesmos.
Assim, uma vez mais, dá-se a conhecer a Beira Serra através
da arte dos sons, na sua multiplicidade e dinâmica sonora. Uma Ruralidade Sonora, que se sente.

This sound work was produced based on field recordings performed in the Serra do Açor, namely in the Mata da Margaraça – protected area of the Serra do Açor –and in the villages of Monte Frio, Porto Silvado, Pomares and Gramaça, belonging to the counties of Arganil and Oliveira do Hospital, respectively.
Sound Places: Serra do Açor, Vol. 1, as the name indicates, is the first work of a series dedicated to the Serra do Açor and some of its villages.
The landscapes and sound frames that constitute them, which are part of them and give them identity, are the groundwork for this series, following the artistic work of the archive and the sound documentation that I have been developing since 2008, also appealing to the creative listening of the places which are part of this territory and to a sensitive awareness of them.
Thus, once again, one gets to know Beira Serra through the art of sounds, in its multiplicity and sound dynamics. A Sonorous Rurality that one can feel.
