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.”

Zreen ToyZ – Grimoire of Eternity

Zreen ToyZ – Grimoire of Eternity
[NN_LP012_03_12]

Zreen ToyZ

“Grimoire of Eternity”

French artist Zreen ToyZ (born in 1954) often presents himself as Sound Sculptor or Sound Poet. After few years in classical training on piano and percussions, he does not appreciate the stifling conformity of the academy and turns to the improvised musics. The continuation of its training is essentially self-taught. Since his first pieces created in 1970, he works the sound material following inspiration of the moment, a raw and instinctive approach by stratification where any imperfection or sound incident become a harshness on which to hang on atmospheres or reflections. In this way, he creates impalpable and timeless landscapes where vibrations, noises, and collages erase the structure of the piece. “Grimoire Of Eternity” is the 12th album as Zreen ToyZ and it seems to be the last one…it’s reincarnated in the “Arcane Waves” project.

sarah j ritch – string theory
[pyr048]

sarah j ritch

“string theory”

sarah j ritch is a composer and improviser from chicago whose interest in classical composition arose from both her studies in piano and cello as well as explorations of the guitar and bass in punk and metal bands in las vegas between 1996 and 2003. she eventually landed in chicago and earned a bachelor of music from roosevelt university and a post-baccalaureate certificate in sound from the school of the art institute of chicago. she has been the composer-in-residence for chicago classical ensembles the millennium chamber players and anaphora, and regularly performs solo and with her free improv group sound collision alliance.

on her debut album, string theory, sarah displays her interest in both improvised noise and notated tonal music as she explores the acoustic structures of strings and sines. over the course of the album electronically treated cello gives way to droning and pizzicato violin; a pure drone at the center resolves itself with a rising and falling violin sonata; and a cello converses with itself in woodtones.

“4 Years, 101 Songs and 1 Story”

We, the people who make Rawmatroid team, are happy to write these lines after 4 years, feeling the same love, the same pride and equal respect for what we do that we felt the very first day, and keeping the same desire to share all our work with others.

After all this time we thought about doing a small review of the musical history of the netlabel. For this reason, in our now 4 th anniversary of Rawmatroid Netlabel, we have had the selection criteria and musical reinterpretation of Kebiin along with the subjective view of the lens of Javier Alvedro, to be the two of them who write this chapter and tell as a little story about the history of Rawmatroid as mix.

Zeugshmitz – twenty_eleven
[APR012]

Zeugshmitz

“twenty_eleven”

The Alternative/Indie band Zeugshmitz from Brunico is making music since the 90’s. From the band’s formation in 1992 on, its members Egon “Niggile” Niederkolfer (bass), Gerd „Stolle“ Stoll (guitar and vocals), Klaus “Knut” Balzarek (guitar and vocals) and Matthias “Matti” Pallua (drums), have been active and valuable members of the South Tyrolean music scene.

In 1996 the band released its debut album “The Zeugschmitz” which was presented live in South Tyrol as well as in nearby countries. After that, the band took a break from performing on stage and focused on writing new songs for their 2006 album “It takes time”.

The band members write and arrange all songs themselves, played over 100 live shows with the same line-up and celebrated the band’s 20th anniversary in 2012. Just the right occasion to release the Zeugshmitz’s brand new album “twenty_eleven”, which is available as free and legal download on Airbagpromo Records right now: www.airbagpromo.com/records

Akauzazte – Azalberritan
[LGN005]

Akauzazte

“Azalberritan”

“… if we understand evolution as a way to make between respect for the heritage and memory, Akauzazte show us that have chosen the best way, perhaps the hardest, but the right one. Unashamed of debts on their teachers, and instinctively following the footsteps of nomadic paths crossed by them, Akauzazte been known to seek, find and shape their own personality. Dancing in the shadow of popular music, fornicating with rock, and looking fearlessly face to face, the avant-garde, Akauzazte invites us to know your personal world of sound. Between two edges: one real and raw, and a soft, imaginary, as the two skins of the snake. With new skin, but with the same head, Akauzazte.” (Xabier Erkizia)

Here’s another hatchling by the nightingale of intelligent dance chirp – hertzcanary. birds don’t come easy is the third of the bird series (see related releases below for more). The clutch of five precocial biped lobit funk songs were composed with the now almost extinct FastTracker II.

Qatarsis

“Qatarsis EP”

Sounds like Lübeck is far off from outer space when listening to the first release of very talented young producer Qatarsis!You can hear a lot of different influences, great musical sense and a whole bunch of potential for further productions.

Great atmospheres meets spacey sound fx, numb melancholy meets nervous detachedness.

Have a listen, have fun!

El Pilar Azul – #2

El Pilar Azul – #2
[LGN009]

El Pilar Azul

“#2”

El Pilar Azul, now as a stable band after the addition of Daniel Benavides and Cristian Munoz, present two new songs: “Double Reality” and “54”.The fact that they have already worked as a group grade and gives the music a new air. The guitars back in charge and thus a greater role in “Double Reality” we find a song more direct and forceful than the previous album “Diciembre” while the theme “54” is a fantastic instrumental, with rythm changes that will not leave you indifferent.

>From now on, we wonder what the next album will offer, with “# 2” opened a new path or are playing to confuse us? We look forward to hearing more from them.

mixersmith

“electricity”

We have known Mixersmith as Robotron’s reliable friend. Now he releases his first solo release at Audioexit: Electricity EP. This four-track composition shows us that Mixersmith evolves, creating more and more interesting pieces. He has a unique sound, but at this time it is lighter and consumable – we say lighter, not light! Comparing to Dan Mute’s calculated, strict sounds, this work is close to it, but the tracks search for independence, play with the limits, and more lighter, airy tracks. Mixersmith makes his solo debut very well.
