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 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

Jan Strach – Fale

UPL 060

Jan Strach

“Fale”

Polish musician Jan Strach returns with a collection of catchy songs combining his love for his Casio keyboard, irregular rhythms and song structures and his distaste for cliches and predictability. Pop, rock, punk and some latin flavors clash and combine with dreamy atmospheres, experimental touches and stream-of consciousness lyrics. As always, earnest, catchy and full of ideas.

various artists – CC Affiliates Mixtape #1

[nwscomp006]

various artists

“CC Affiliates Mixtape #1”

The global community of Creative Commons Affiliates is starting a new tradition: collectively compiling an annual mixtape of great music from artists using CC licenses. This idea follows the 10-year anniversary mixtape that the European Affiliates put together back in 2012, only this 2015-edition covers the entire globe. We hope that this will be the beginning of an annual tradition: a musical tribute to – and celebration of – the talent of the artists and Creative Commons sharing tools.

The mixtape has been made by the Creative Commons Affiliates – the custodians of the CC licenses in each of these countries – as a fun volunteer side-project to showcase the musical wealth of their countries. This means, and we’d like to highlight this, that these are not artists officially endorsed by Creative Commons, but rather personal favorites of some of those community members advocating sharing culture and promoting the use of CC licenses.

Across the world millions of creators are using Creative Commons licenses to promote and spread their creativity and to find a global audience. Many of these are music artists, performers and songwriters and for this year’s tape a whopping 25 countries have contributed, covering 4 continents of amazing music cultures and artistic talents of all audio trades. Dive in to discover what the world has to offer while at the same time appreciating sharing culture. Enjoy!

Klaus Marten – In A Dream

Klaus Marten

“In A Dream”

I think I finally figured out the point of my own music: I want it to be like those tapes from the movie “V/H/S”, where you just find some random fucked-up tape and watch it and you’re just like “who made this? Where did it come from? How was this even made??!” Anyway, here is some music I made. Enjoy.

VA – The Light Side Of The Blue

[SCL-TM004]

VA

“The Light Side Of The Blue”

“The Light Side Of The Blue” is a sequel to “Wordless” compiliation, which is the result of the creative colaboration between Southern City‘s Lab Label and producer Hank Hobson in search of talented electronic stage musicians. However, contrasting the previous work executed in gloomily vast tones of ambient and glitch, the compilation offers a wide range of styles from jungle and jazzstep to Berlin school. The sequence of tracks is developed in a way that turns it into a novel, written with sounds and tunes. Into a fantastic story where the main character, finding it no more possible to bear his daily routine and seeking seclusion, runs away towards the sea…to another planet.

It all starts with the surrealistic absurd of Mutafory Lili telling with their both comic and psychodelic track about the daily life of our protagonist, where if you listen closely you can realise that he is about to break down. Then the action is transferred to the cosmoport, where Pk jazz Collective, toying with the new wave, is singing a song of mourn and sorrow, maybe even of the lost love. Lost radiance are painting admirable soundscapes, showing all the beauty of the deep space. Finally the duo of Sexyalien & Hank Hobson ($IMDC) is depicting some difficulties during the flight of the spaceship.

After that we are setting off for an automobile ride consisting of three chapters: crazy races across the megapolis by Hobotek, a ride along the highway in tune with jazz by Sobrio and the last few kilometers along the rough coast by Eva Shlegel.

And here comes the seclusion, where being alone with the self, nature and darkish atmosphere, perfectly rendered by SandSpace & lost-radio, D-lity & Amaranth will tell a story about the long-desired evening at the seaside.

“unity-dispersity”

‘unity-dispersity’ reflects the process of developing a modular audio system as an
improvisation on the resultant sounds and feedbacks as well as additional field-recordings captured at that time.

Wings of an Angel – The Unearthly Demagogue And His Amber Of Sorrows

Self-Release

Wings of an Angel

“The Unearthly Demagogue And His Amber Of Sorrows”

When you remain alone for a long period of time, confined between four or more walls, but still confined nonetheless, an inner dialogue takes place inside you, thus the Unearthly Demagogue is born. Like in Fernando Pessoa’s psychobiography, many a personalities of varying stages of development, take over your psyche and engage in an everlasting psychoactive dialogue. As rich as this dialogue is and can be, you are nonetheless still locked between the prison walls of your own psychological limitations. This prison, in due time, becomes your safe haven; your very own Amber Of Sorrows, the very place you always escape to when the outside world threatens of annihilate your sense of self-identity.
This is however a Golden Cage. This world based upon interpersonal relationships, and for the most part, our spiritual/cultural development and progress take shape as a result of an interactive interaction with the world around us and its multitude of inhabitants, that is our fellow human beings. Consciousness is not an isolated solipsistic substance – it always expresses itself in a larger social framework and context. Therefore, as safe as your Amber of Sorrows might be, in order to keep moving and exploring new terrains, you must break free!
Slowly but surely, unleash the Unearthly Demagogue, with all the pain and longing it entails, to engage freely in the world, actively contribute and be contributed back, to love others platonically and romantically and be loved for who you are, a fragile multi-layered and vulnerable, all too vulnerable, human being.

Gaetano Fontanazza – Sounds On Canvas

SCM-1501

Gaetano Fontanazza

“Sounds On Canvas”

Gaetano Fontanazza’s latest release, ‘Sounds on Canvas’ is the live soundtrack to an exhibition of paintings by his father, the late Edoardo Fontanazza. As people admired the remarkable works of art hanging on the walls of a gallery in Enna, Gaetano supplied a live soundtrack to the event which was then recorded for this release. This is music that, although conceived as support to an event, stands on its own feet and is fantastic even after the event. Enjoy!

“lost massage”

unfoundsound kicks off the year 2015 with the second release from raymundo mendoza of el paso, texas — this time with a walloping 9-track album. on lost massage, you get a mixed bag of dancefloor killers and deep leftfield obscurities. your mind and body are whomped by an array of dirty, gritty techno ranging from dark to quirky — all fueled by wailing synthesizers and dusty rhythms. grab it, play it, and get dirty.

LINER NOTES NOE’:
Immaginiamo per un momento un’orchestra timbricamente completa che suona senza direttive, senza partiture, senza determinazioni di alcun genere.
Così, giocando con la sensibilità dei singoli musicisti, nasce NOÈ (Nostra Orchestra Estemporanea).
È noto che l’improvvisazione si nutre delle incredibili connessioni etiche fra coloro che agiscono nell’esatto momento dell’agire.
L’ordinato riferimento estetico cui siamo abituati non conta; suonare nell’orchestra, o semplicemente ascoltarla, significa sospendere, almeno momentaneamente, ogni atteggiamento critico di carattere storico-letterario.
Forse pirati, altroché nipoti del diluvio, navigando in mari sconosciuti e terribili, in quel momento utile si riconosce l’entità di quel viaggio necessario a fissare l’essere, il divenire di questa musica in questa orchestra.
Le persone che ne fanno parte, lo sanno bene: NOÈ prosegue, semplicemente, la strada intrapresa da NED (Nostra Etichetta Discografica) verso l’indefinita ricerca dell’estemporaneità in musica e non soltanto.

Imagine for a moment a full orchestra timbre that rings with no guidelines, no scores, no determinations of any kind.
So, playing with the sensitivity of the individual musician, born ‘Our Extemporaneous Orchestra’.
And ‘well-known that this type of music is nourished by the incredible ethical connections between the musicians in the exact moment of noise.
The orderly aesthetic reference we used does not matter playing in this orchestra, or just listen, you stay, at least temporarily, any aesthetic judgment-mindedness and critical of any historical-literary.
Perhaps pirates, grandchildren of the flood, navigating in unknown seas and terrible, then useful to recognize the extent of the stops on the trip needed to produce this music in this orchestra.
People who are dedicated to do this, know this: NOE continues, simply, the road taken by NED to search indefinite extemporary music.

LINEAR NOTES OLEO:
Projeto que teve inicio em 23/ agosto/2014d.C
Idéia inicial do projeto era a intenção de usufruir da criatividade e improviso livre que visa em criar novos conceitos e sons(explorando o eletrônico e o orgânico).
Focando musica e artes, mesclando elementos à idéia surgiu.
Criou-se e desenvolveu-se em uma amplitude maior com mais cabeças pensantes, nova idéia de som e atitude.
O que ajudou em tudo isso foi esse tipo de “experimentalismo conceitual, musical” por isso esse projeto foi feito.
Algumas das faixas são de improviso no “flow” e de uma maneira bem despretensiosa, tão despretensiosa que ainda a espaço para novas “instrumentalizações” e participações… Pois o que conta é ultrapassar barreiras e criar novos ambientes e timbres.
(A transcendência).
Todo esse conceito, não seria possível sem o conceito:
“Faça você mesmo!”.
Pois tudo se gera disso o conceito de improvisação é principalmente a habilidade de, simultaneamente, produzir e interpretar, dentro ou não de parâmetros harmônicos ou rítmicos, melodias, ritmos ou vocalizações.

Project that started in 23 / August / 2014d.C
Initial idea of the project was intended to take advantage of free improvisation and creativity aimed at creating new concepts and sounds (exploring the electronic and organic).
Focusing on music and arts, blending elements to the idea arose.
It was created and developed on a larger scale with more talking heads, new idea of sound and attitude.
What helped in all this was that kind of “conceptual experimentalism, musical” so this project was done.
Some of the tracks are improvised on the “flow” and a very unassuming, unpretentious way so that even the space for new “instrumentalist” and shares… What matters is to overcome barriers and create new environments and sounds.
(Transcendence).
This whole concept would not be possible without the concept:
“Do it yourself”.
For everything that generates the concept of improvisation is mainly the ability to simultaneously produce and interpret within or without harmonic or rhythmic parameters, melodies, rhythms and vocalizations.
