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

Calls can be quite substantive – but they can also be fluffy. Though perhaps enabling some form of connection, little information is shared on a fluffy call – and possible miscommunications can occur. If it’s just a fluffy call, please feel free to be excused.

Bohdan Stupak – timbres

Bohdan Stupak – timbres

Bohdan Stupak

“timbres”

Experimenting with the nature of timbre allowed Bohdan Stupak to tell the story of small voices. They might be unnoticeable alone. But once they are combined they form a landscape. It’s the blending of small particles that forms a great picture and tiny details in a great picture that are worth noticing.

SPTW – At The Foot Of The Ladder
[mhrk392]

SPTW

“At The Foot Of The Ladder”

SPTW (Some Pretend to Whisper) is the crossroad where sound collagists Perkin Warbek and Stakha meet.

“Delicately mistreated samples, warped instrumentations, repeated loops, liquefied vocals, scraps of arrangements here and there, abstract swarming, analog tape textures and a few minimalist beats cleverly distilled from hip-hop influences… these are some of the ingredients used by Some Pretend to Whisper to shape its strange daydreams”

“At the Foot of the Ladder” is their debut on Mahorka, released April 15, 2024 as free (cc) digital download and in limited cassette edition.

Composed and produced by SPTW
