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.”

“Embodied Shadow Of Thy Secret Mind”

Mastermind behind the veteran neoclassic dark ambient project Day Before Us is back on Mahorka with a new solo album whose conceptual background explores unsettling “liminal spaces”, paramnesia and flowing affective memories. In this new release Philippe Blache teamed up with photographer and visual story teller objet-fantôme (Angela Caro). Liminal spaces are often marked with a sense of wander and vertigonous wonder to apprehend parapsychology and new possibilities of meaning with a subject trapped in unusual mental structures. The atmosphere of the pieces is based on meandering immersive textures and thrilling tones of high emotional value, depicting with sonorous analogies some imaginary territories, diving the listener in profound headscapes. All in all this new effort is a beautifully instrumental and carefully crafted musical excursion in melancholia and repetition. It is delivered in a nice package as limited physical edition (beautiful digisleeve CD), accompanied by the free (cc) digital version.

Written, recorded and arranged in Dole by Philippe Blache (alias Day Before Us)
Original artwork and layout by Angela Caro (objet-fantôme)

Special thanks to Ivo Petrov, Angela Caro, Giuseppe Verticchio, to new and loyal listeners.
