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

Nicolas Tourney – Sightline

Nicolas Tourney – Sightline

Nicolas Tourney

“Sightline”

‘Sightline’ is Nicolas Tourney’s first work on Vulpiano Records. A monumentally beautiful work in drone, not a second wasted in the subtle totality of its being.

Words from the artist:

Nicolas Tourney is a French experimental musician, sound designer, and owner of the label Snow in Water Records. His electronic works concern perception and act of listening, with the use of various drones, strings and experimental devices.

Sightline sounds like a landscape made of ether and a silence sewn on our lips. By using spectral rotation of an audible rendering of the present, of a sound as pure perception of the moment, the “Eye-world” (an open concept) introduces the listener into the kinematic perspective of exile and overflight. Listening makes “l’attente” (waiting) your place in life.

Slightline is less about exposing a sound shock than getting into it and, through perception, seeks the withdrawal the senses. Perspectives crossed above visions that are games of scales.

Between Drone making (Drone: rise beyond the present and the gravity of the bodies) and Soundscape practice (Soundscape: one word calls for another, a sound seeks to surpass itself in silence), Sightline is like a slow walk, when you listen to a glass surface in its resonance. In the distance, the soundscape stretches to infinity from a constantly redefined vanishing point.

Memories; under the table.
Hidden object games; at work.
The dialect of a dialect.

Here comes the debut of OMBRA OBSCVRA, a musician from Valencian region in Europe. The artist plays with light detuning, portamento, piano, as if the world was in constant uncertainty. A relaxed base makes it possible to have an overview position, while distant bells of the night offer attention.

King Elizabeth – The Awakening

King Elizabeth

“The Awakening”

King Elizabeth – The Awakening (VULP-0162)

Picking up from where King Elizabeth left off in 2012 with Miami, The Awakening contains all of the mesmerizing synth hooks and passionate vocal lines you’d hope for. The sultry “Mother” and churning title track “The Awakening” are among my favorites in this dark gleam of brilliance — 7 years in the making! — that Vulpiano Records is delighted to present.

Words from the artist:

It’s been a long journey to get to this point with many songs being written and recorded but never feeling right for the time. A lot of songs were scrapped and others placed on the back burner to come back to with fresh ears. Maybe it was a quest for perfection when perfection doesn’t exist, or just falling out of love with the songs at the time! It’s all contributed to the 7 years it’s taken to complete this record.

I had a new experience with writing and recording songs for this album. I usually have a vision for the album with the songs interconnected in some way. This time, I was just writing one song at a time—the ideas were for the individual songs, I had no greater vision. I had the lyrics and the music in my mind for that song and that song only at the time, then I’d move onto the next.

Over time I realised that the songs that stood out for me fitted together as well as any other album I’ve ever made—if not better. The beauty of this is that each song can really hold its own and doesn’t need a ‘before’ song or an ‘after’ song. The process was lengthy, but then when they all did come together it was an awakening. I hope this album awakens something inside everyone who kindly takes the time to listen to it.

“Retrospektive Compilation”

Before we revive Insectorama with the “Restart Compilation”, we decided to look back on over 15 years of published music. We listened through 81 releases, selected the best 31 tracks and put them together to a retrospektive compilation. It should present the timeless sound of dubtechno in all its facets.

This release is free as always, but you are welcome to pay what it is worth to you. All proceeds will be donated to the Ernesto`s Sanctuary for Cats in Syria aid project, which has set itself to save the animals there and give them a safe place in a country destroyed by senseless war.

ernestosanctuary.org

the story of the AleppoCatMen:

What started as feeding a couple of dozen cats in the streets soon escalated when word spread amongst the feline population of Aleppo that there were regular deliveries of food on certain street corners. Alaas dream started there. His first plan was to have a cat refuge for stray cats where he could feed and care for the many strays.

Aleppo was of course full of the media and press… more

“Nostress Netlabel Anniversary Compilation Vol.9 – A.A. VV. A Minimal Step from the Decimal Metric”

Penultimate Anniversary Compilation that will end with the 10th volume in 2021? Who knows… difficult to say, difficult to plan. Nostress Netlabel, like many other netlabels, follows the difficult path of survival, remaining active mainly for releasing digital albums and for the “bootleg” recordings of the NN Performing catalog and maybe some special event to organize or to attend.
WE DON’T GIVE UP! WE DON’T CLOSE!

In full respect for all the artists who have chosen to take advantage of an additional channel of visibility, Nostress Netlabel, at the cost of appearing as an anomaly and / or an obsolescence, holds on. Maximum gratitude for those who follow us and who believe in small and independent reality like this.

Sinistra

“I”

Dave & Suzan Vega Combo hit the minds,
bleak winds in the back,
rolling words of wisdom, techno style.

Out of the cold depths new art forms appear.
This year Phonocake presents sinistra,
first digitally, later on tape.

sinistra is a blend of dark ambient, techno and poetry made by
composer Daniel Williams and author Anne Seidel.

“Our aim is to head for the ritual and the hidden, and to open
everything up into a warm sonic and literary darkness. We do
not write or prepare the music for any of the tracks or material.
All performances in the combination of words and music are
improvised.” (Daniel Williams)

“…los sonidos intentan recuperar una narrativa de paisajes escuchados en la arqueología de otras músicas y otros discursos. No hay fusión. En todo caso, hay una épica. Los roles de voz principal y acompañamiento se disuelven y reconstruyen, jugando entre lo idiomatico y lo diferente en busca del extrañamiento…” – L. Conde

Nicolas Tourney – Ram

Nicolas Tourney – Ram
[BN_LP028_02_20]

Nicolas Tourney

“Ram”

Nicolas Tourney is a french experimental musician and sound designer, also owner of the label Snow in Water Records. With Ram, he offers us an electronic work focused on perception and act of listening, with the use of various sound devices and drones. Ram is a work in-progress with long-sustained tones. Ram submit to the listener some perceptual experience: there would be a “sound” as object of perception and source of this same perception. This held sound that we dress by calling it a soundscape, spacing exploration from the gesture. Look at what draws us to a sound, how listening gets caught up in it, and how it draws our attention to an experience. Ram sounds like a suspense that opens onto interiority. In this silence, the listener finds himself contemplating the act of listening, as if it is the constant noise of natural electricity.
