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.”

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

Recorded in Senyawa Mandiri, 2021
Mastered by Joseph Lamont

Selama masa pandemi Wukir banyak menghabiskan waktu bersama keluarganya di Salatiga. Sesekali Ia ke studionya di daerah Patangpuluhan, Yogyakarta untuk mengerjakan hal-hal yang berkaitan dengan Senyawa. Situasi pandemi yang tidak menentu akibat kebijakan pemerintah yang tidak memperhatikan kesejahteraan dan keamanan bagi masyarakat membuat siapapun geram. Ketahanan hidup dinisiasi secara mandiri dan berkelompok melalui aksi-aksi solidaritas masyarakat, termasuk protes. Ironisnya, aksi tersebut tidak direspon sebagai aspirasi bagi pemerintah untuk berbenah dan justru ditanggapi dengan represi. Sikap Wukir untuk menolak tunduk tidak hanya pada kondisi sosial-politik saja, namun juga pada semua hal yang membatasi dan mengekang kebebasan berekspresi.

Sikap tersebut tercermin dalam komposisi musik di album ini. Ia tidak melodius seperti biasanya. Kelam, agresif, abrasif, transendental, dan yang pasti tribal. Elemen perkusi sangat dominan. Hal ini muncul dari instrumen barunya berupa kotak kayu dengan lubang berbentuk garis. Album purbawi-futuristik ini menandai sebuah masa baru lintas dimensi yang penuh gejolak untuk menegaskan sikap kita. Sikap menolak tunduk.
