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

Paco Maddalena – Panorami Verticali

Paco Maddalena – Panorami Verticali
[Lav87]

Paco Maddalena

“Panorami Verticali”

Five tracks that involve a different vision, a new way of relating to the world around us, based on the essence of everyday environments soundscaping.
Hence the title of the ep, Panorami Verticali, intended as a new interaction with the context, no longer ordinary but translated into a different dimension, perpendicular in this case, like the imaginary line that from the ground, passing through legs, reaches the head : the noises are rhythmically and harmonically autonomous, self-celebrating, free and dancing in the sound space and from the earth they rise to be recoded by the mind of the listener.
Disconnected from the normal cultural classification, sounds acquire an independent meaning, result of a different elaboration in each one, making the passive routine become presence and the ego, the individual, the listener, more than ever collective archetype, one with the sound context.
The sea (“Osservazione partecipata”), cars on the street, a train station, but also the sound of a gate and the empty garden of a school (“Troppe trame”), the interiors of a steel factory (“Basta che poi ci ricordiamo dove”), are the result of elaborate, dilated and intertwined field recording sessions, played with an ‘organic’ synth (Lyra 8, Soma), drones, tape loops and modified keyboards sequences.

Alessio Degani – CityScape: Brixia

Alessio Degani – CityScape: Brixia
[GFR, 136]

Alessio Degani

“CityScape: Brixia”

Cityscape – Brixia is an auditory tale whose subject is the city where I currently live: Brescia (Brixia is the ancient name), in northern Italy.
The recordings have been taken approximately between 2016 and 2018. The fields are different facets of the same city: different seasons, different weather, different environments. Crowded highways with cars and busses opposed to calm meadows with crickets in the night.
The result is an continuously changing sound scape that guides the listener through an auditory tour. The journey starts on a warm, cozy morning and continues through a refreshing rain that suddenly becomes a storm. As the day approaches an end, the traffic noise slowly fades away giving way to a familiar atmosphere. It’s time to relax. In the evening, a quiet place to spend some time. Then comes the night, and a soft blanket of snow covers everything in silence.

Roberto Massoni – NeoMTRX5

Roberto Massoni – NeoMTRX5
[Hueco Negro 06]

Roberto Massoni

“NeoMTRX5”

El retorno a los recuerdos imperfectos de un pasado que nacen en la linea de cuerdas del tema “crees que soy sexy?” de Rod Stewart caminando po las galerias de Aristobulo del Valle, que siguen en el secuenciador de Oxigene de Jean M Jarre ambientando documentales de la ballena franca austral en el programa “la aventura del hombre”, continuan en la transmisicón de Bladerunner en la televisión y la escena de Harrison Ford asomandose al balcón en la noche combinado con “bladerunner blues” de Vangelis, que se asocian al mejor momento de las series que son los títulos de apertura como la del Auto Fantástico (Knite Rider) o “Lobo del aire” (Airwolf) plagadas de secuenciadores y primitivos sintetizadores digitales hasta la llegada de Jan Hammer ambientando historias dramáticas en Miami los jueves por la noche en canal 9.
Por otra parte NeoMTRX5 es una invitación al futuro a partir de la posible recolección de datos biométricos a tiempo real que permiten calcular y entregar resultados para resolver dilemas continuos ante situaciones conflictivas a las que se expone el ser humano.
NeoMTRX5 es un algoritmo que se diseña y se reconstruye por medio de otros algoritmos donde logra su independencia y no necesita de la intervención humana. Su frase de cabecera debajo del logo de la empresa sabe decir “No trabajamos con humanos, trabajamos para los humanos”.

El Sob

“Silence is even sexier”

Silence is even sexier if it is your silence!
So shut the fuck up and buy this record to be the sex bomb you’ve always dreamed of.

El Sob is not one of the classic influencers you can find on the internet, He’s the master of the silence. Enjoy his guitar-driven songwriting between Arto Linsday and Bill Frisell as the only thing better than silence is El sob, or it was João Gilberto?

Jazzdefector & Gaetano Fontanazza – Chiaroscuro

Jazzdefector & Gaetano Fontanazza – Chiaroscuro
[SCM 2102]

Jazzdefector & Gaetano Fontanazza

“Chiaroscuro”

The duo of Sebastian Buccheri (guitars) and Gaetano Fontanazza (gong, singing bowls) lands on Sucu Music and delivers a five piece, almost sixty minutes long album drenched in harmonies for the soul.
“After the storm” fills the air with rarefied guitar notes supported in the beginning by a substratum of vibrating bowls which becomes more and more prominent as the song goes on and fades to the end.
“Beginnings” lets the gong take its spotlight, leading glitches and guitar gusts as the song evolves in thousands directions willing to fill the air surrounding us.
“Chiaroscuro” is the pièce de résistance of the whole platter. Within its 23 minutes you will be taken by the hand and transported in the minds of the two musicians, an extracorporeal transmutation from listener to performer in which we become the director of everything that’s going on around and inside us.
“From nothing” bring us back to earth like a gentle wind born from the soundwaves of the song itself, taking us wherever our minds are willing to be.
“Thai Chi” ends the experience with a choir of singing bowls entering our ears and vibrating our brains, while the guitar draws paths of notes leading the way to the awareness of our present and future immortal self.

SENYAWA – Alkisah Dikisahkan

SENYAWA – Alkisah Dikisahkan
[YESNO 099]

SENYAWA

“Alkisah Dikisahkan”

2020 is not only marked by the coronavirus pandemic. It was stormed by thousands of natural disasters and human rights violations that had started decades earlier. 2020 is the peak of human greed and vanity which is the result of the capitalistic culture. The only way to deal with this is to open ourselves up to cooperate with one another. It looks simple if you are a utopian. The tradition to organise a small scale group with intensive multiple proxies is very necessary for the welfare of the people. Collective method like this must be carried out with a slow, long process, and requires a lot of courage because it will be faced with the big systems that does not want to share their benefits.

In 2019, Senyawa began to initiate a business unit to independently face the challenges of its economic sustainability called Senyawa Mandiri. This unit is also designed to reduce dependence on giant corporate products. As time went on, Senyawa Mandiri developed into a political stance for Senyawa themselve. It is no longer Rully Shabara and Wukir Suryadi. It was transformed into an open and egalitarian multi-entity.

During the coronavirus pandemic, Senyawa became increasingly convinced that the centralization of the art ecosystem and its industry was no longer relevant to the community. Senyawa new album, titled Alkisah, is a social tool that wants to break down the centers of the current arogant ecosystems. Alkisah consists of 8 songs and a collective system across cultures and continents. It was mixed and bred with 44 music labels and hundreds of musicians around the world.

As a supporter of Senyawa since 2010 and as a label that encourages an open-culture movement, Yes No Wave Music takes part in Alkisah module by releasing the album’s stem tracks provided for everyone to participate in reproducing the album. This stem album is accompanied by a remix sets titled Alkisah Dikisah. We invited 8 musicians: Wahono (Jakarta), Nursalim Yadi Anugerah (Pontianak), Prontaxan (Yogyakarta), Gabber Modus Operandi (Denpasar), Y-DRA (Yogyakarta), Pisitakun (Bangkok) and Slikback (Nairobi). Every remix is ​​a free interpretation and artistic speculation of impossibilities to giving birth the art decentralization mutations.

Johann Mazé & Jihem Rita – Autre Brousse

Johann Mazé & Jihem Rita – Autre Brousse
[D​!​HR​-​48]

Johann Mazé & Jihem Rita

“Autre Brousse”

For its 48th release, Da ! Heard It Records takes a leak into the unknown.

On the sleeve picture, conceptualized by Pia-Mélissa Laroche, Johann Mazé chooses the bag race to cross what seems to be a rural garden. In simple terms, he thus shows the listener the step to follow: one must jump with feet together in this eccentric universe with blurry borders, as if out of some dream, at the very place where a sleepy memory weaves strange links among things.
Here, enigmatic voices escape a house without walls into which one enters through the roof; improbable ritualistic rhythms form alternately the outlet of an imaginary tribe or a parade of a cannibalistic Yellow Jackets’ batucada; elsewhere, a wobbly walz lulls the ear with soft dissonances; farther still, a piano turns off in the night, a harmonica rises, a metronome sets the tone of a charade of diverse and catchy percussions…
Like an exquisite cadaver on a piece of paper that we unfold little by little, each new piece of the puzzle opens the door onto an unexpected territory. Passing from one thumbnail to the next though, the atmospheres answer each other with a clever sonorous montage, a patchwork of field recordings, of sonorous poetry… more
