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.”

Sabi – Four Thousand Years EP

Sabi – Four Thousand Years EP
[mtk088]

Sabi

“Four Thousand Years EP”

With summer slowly sliding into autumn, we figured a little contemplative ambience was in order, and Japanese artist Sabi, who released on Mono a _long_ time back with .MODs under the name of Taro, and has since done excellent work for net.labels like Inpuj.

On this EP, beautiful, puretoned sinewaves mix with sampled ambience from real-life, as “Yello Sand Back” gives us the subtlest drifts of sound ever, “Johdo” iterates in the smallest of ethereal beats, and “Uki 3 2” has what sounds like Japanese street scenes twinned with gorgeous limbo-floating wonder.

A prime candidate for Winamp perma-repeat and curiously womb-like, we suggest you make a Freudian statement to be reckoned with, and download four thousand years of eternity, yours for the toying with, courtesy Sabi.

“Algorhythmic Bias 2​.​0”

With all the amazing music that gets released on other labels that I include in my mixes, I always feel like I’m neglecting the amazing music that is released on Digital Distortions.

So, this is the second of a new mix series that, in conjunction with the BRAWLcast podcast, will feature exclusively tracks released on Digital Distortions. The mixes will feature on the BRAWLcast but will also appear here on Bandcamp with the unmixed tracks and the mix available in lossless formats.

Eli Wallis

“Some Moons Glitter”

distant tides of highway noise
split by the train’s bright aubade
closer to your ears than mine

the way the wind picks up your
voices reedlike lilting cross
flying floating fabrics the

collected crumbs bits of fluff
dust found floating in the air
denoting the sticky side

of fabrics so silken soft
as in a morning sunrise
lilting floating voicelike cross

tides of lawns more moss than grass
singing through the storm distant
train ringing through memory

[Insectorama136]

Essentia Sound & Ekodust

“Atmospheric Rivers”

Essentia Sound & Ekodust – Atmospheric Rivers (Insectorama136)

Atmospheric Rivers is based on a series of record breaking rainfalls that swept through British Columbia in the fall of 2021 washing away homes, bridges and highways, causing landslides and loss of human and animal life. The weather system identified as an atmospheric river is a large, narrow stream of water vapour that travels through the sky. Usually originating in tropical ocean regions near the equator, these rivers bring masses of warm air and water from the ocean to land, sometimes dumping a month’s worth of rain or snow in a matter of days.

Tracklist:
1.Essentia Sound & Ekodust – River One
2.Ekodust – Gentle Dawn
3.Essentia Sound & Ekodust – River Two
4.Essentia Sound & Ekodust – River Three
5.Essentia Sound & Ekodust – River Four

Abdicant

“In-Group”

Jeremy Rice is Boston-area lover of synthesizers and synth music, striving to make his own electronic music with a curious sense of introspection and mystery.

As Abdicant and Curious Inversions he has notable releases on Kahvi Collective, including our 2022 favorite “Turing Complete”, and some more quality releases on his personal bandcamp. Two other outstanding 2022 releases are the “Strange Sedatives” album by Cognition Delay, the duo of Jeremy and Paul Alexander (Pandacetamol, Fluffy Inside) on Rednetic and the “A Curious Shade of Blue” album by The Hive Project, the duo of Jeremy Rice and Anthony Paul Kerby (The Circular Ruins), that has released 3 albums on Anthony’s DataObscura label since 2006.

Abdicant’s magical debut album on Mahorka, “In-Group”, specially recorded with the label and his closest friends-collaborators in mind, came out at the end of July 2022 and notably includes reworks of the original tracks from some of these guys – Kahvi’s boss 4T Thieves, Paul’s Pandacetamol project, Anthony’s The Circular Ruins project, Weldroid and Tomoroh Hidari.

About Access Frame:
The series of compilations titled Access Frame aim to present a wide spectrum of local alternative music (with emphasis on electronic and experimental music) that has found its safe haven on the internet. The never before encountered entwinement of technology, society, making music and ownership rights has been causing a serious conflict between free culture and the outdated and exploitative concepts of copyright. Adhering to the spirit of free access, online labels are the first in the struggle for equal access and a more fair copyright (facilitated by the introduction of the Creative Commons license).

About Netlabel Day:
In this spirit we are supporting the annual celebration of netlabel culture every July 14th. Every year labels participate and release free music releases specifically for the event to support the initiative by M.I.S.T. Records in Chile and curated now by The Seattle Star.

Rupert Falsch – Im Zenit / In Gefahr

Rupert Falsch – Im Zenit / In Gefahr

Rupert Falsch

“Im Zenit / In Gefahr”

“An intense opening here to a degree that it reminded me of our old faves Add N To (X). That was before the vocals gave ‘Im Zenit / In Gefahr’ a certain robotic lounge and a charm that meant our heart returned to a normal beat range.

For all that Rupert Falsch really appears to be going for it here, a night-time provocateur with an eye on the dancefloor but something more than that too for there is a relentless spirit to the piece that sees it change its colours a couple of times over its running time.

It stands apart for its incessant frequency and there is currency in such things as it affords the listener a hypnotic hideaway as all other distractions are put in the shade.

The whole effect is quite inorganic as if it had been designed by the machines whose sole purpose is to take over but at the same time the rhythmic qualities meant we were quite consumed in a Malajube (or for that matter Air) kind of way.”

Ciya – Fantasy
[NNRM102]

Ciya

“Fantasy”

In an attempt to get answers to unknown questions of things that are difficult to put into words, sacrifices were made to abstract gods along the way.
Among the narratively drawn accidents, which are tactile sounds that combine into forms, a detailed answer to the question “how are you?” is read between the lines.
Even if they ask such a question to the listener.

Попытка получить ответы на неизвестные вопросы сложно поддающихся словам вещей, по пути принесены жертвы абстрактным богам.
Среди повествовательно нарисованных случайностей, представляющих из себя тактильные звуки, объединяющиеся в формы, между строк читается подробный ответ на вопрос “как дела?”.
Даже если задают такой вопрос слушателю.

Alberto Bone

“Presente distópico”

Alberto Bone – Presente distópico

Modismo presenta con orgullo su segundo lanzamiento del 2022, introduciendo a su catálogo el talento del músico chileno Alberto Bone. Jovén artista proveniente de las plácidas zonas rurales que rodean la urbe capitalina. Relocalizado en Valparaíso post-pandemia, la música de Bone encontró su curso de flujo natural hasta los cuarteles centrales de Modismo, en parte, gracias a su destacada participación en “Mala Memoria V”, Concurso Nacional de Música Electrónica organizado por el Museo De La Memoria y Los Derechos Humanos.
“Presente Distópico” funciona como un breve recuento vivencial de la pandemia de Covid-19. En sólo 17 minutos Alberto Bone destila sus experiencias en torno al aislamiento y la sobrecarga de información para cuajar ese inquietante escenario en cuatro contundentes composiciones.
En el plano formal Bone es compositor, bajista, arreglador y productor musical. Con sabiduría incorpora la experiencia de sus estudios formales en composición musical para transformar las canciones de su EP en una gratificante aventura. El breve minutaje de este trabajo está muy bien aprovechado, pues pasan muchas cosas interesantes durante este cuarto de hora. Poder de síntesis, dominio armónico y efectividad rítmica puesta al servicio de cuatro piezas que condensan los duros tiempos que hemos tenido que enfrentar y abordar en este presente distópico. Un inicio que saluda el final de los tiempos, y a los momentos de complicaciones infinitas que volvían pesada el alma. La carga de estímulos e información que padecemos está fielmente reflejada en “Tensión”, que funciona como un clímax distópico. Pero Bone al parecer no pierde aún la fé, y alimenta la esperanza y celebra la liberación en el lumínico cierre de este recomendable debut.

Javier Moraga Salazar

Review:

Alberto Bone – Presente distópico

Modismo very proudly presents its second release of 2022, adding to its catalog talented Chilean musician Alberto Bone, young artist from quiet rural areas that surround the capital city. Relocated to post-pandemic Valparaíso, Bone’s music found its natural flow towards Modismo’s headquarters, partly thanks to his outstanding participation in “Mala Memoria V”, National Electronic Music Contest organized by Museo De La Memoria y Los Derechos Humanos.
“Presente Distópico” works as a brief experiential account of the Covid-19 pandemic. In just 17 minutes, Alberto Bone reveals his experiences around isolation and information overload to shape that disturbing scenario in four forceful compositions.
On a formal level, Bone is a composer, bassist, arranger and music producer. He wisely incorporates the experience of his formal studies in music composition to transform the songs on his EP into a rewarding adventure. The brief minute of this work is very well used, as many interesting things happen during this quarter of an hour. Power of synthesis, harmonic mastery and rhythmic effectiveness serving four pieces that condense hard times and that we have had to face and deal with in this dystopian present. A beginning that greets the end of times and the moments of infinite complications that made the soul heavy. The load of stimuli and information that we suffer is loyally reflected in “Tension”, which works as a dystopian climax. However, Bone apparently has not lost faith yet. He gives hope and celebrates the liberation during the luminous closing of this recommendable debut.

House Community Movement alive.
To break the other chain of infection.
Hope returns in cycles.

Surprisingly Sami Konzo did send a life sign, after three years. And we welcome it a lot and so we can present a different view into Sami his music making. This time we can feel a five track trip into deep tech house, that let’s us dream of nice festival events in the woods or at the sea. The perfect moment, when the crowds are together as one. The artwork and the tracks spread signs of hope, while not forgetting the shadows. It is very welcome to publish the tracks as our spring release. Have a good and hopeful time!

[ET60]

Martin Hoogeboom

“Colony”

Etched Traumas is more than happy to release ‘Colony’ by Martin Hoogeboom. ‘Colony’ is a soundscape work based on the sounds of ants. Martin says about ‘Colony’ :

“It might be an ethical concern to fill an ant’s nest with molten aluminum, to let it cool down, and to then dig it up. But this is the only way to get a building that looks like it has been designed by an alien architect.

Recent studies have shown that ants regularly communicate with each other by sound. Most ants have a natural washboard and plectrum built-in into their stomach. By rubbing these against each other, they create sound. This enables the queen to order her workers. Researchers can record these sounds, which are the basis of Colony, with the newest audio techniques.

I gave sound designer Theo Calis and trumpet player Ed van den Berkel the following instructions for improvisation: autumn forest, cold, blue sky, strong wind, chasing clouds. In the same forest where you are enjoying your walk, a superorganism is building complex colonies. Like aliens on a new planet.”
