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

José Gallardo A – Diario de una depresión

José Gallardo A – Diario de una depresión
[pn178]

José Gallardo A

“Diario de una depresión”

Listening to the recent work by José Gallardo is an experience that voids any interruptions and defines its own place.

Everything starts with pulses that resonate at low loudness and frequencies, which peek out from the environment. As time passes, they flatten out until they form a sound background that appears for moments like a figure broken up into accents. Slowly we enter into the trance of a phrase to mutate the idea and the state, all in a slow and fractional way. This step becomes evident when appearing in the center of a new tale.

When sound is clearer and calmerthrough inflections towards distortion, static and noise produced by saturation are integrated as rougher textures that outline part of the limits of each volume.

In “Diario de una depression” (“Diary of a depression”) the musical matter is located between the electric guitar melody and the effects mass, which runs on an independent timeline. These are the two most identifiable layers that structure the total of this work;however, its greatest virtue is not in what is perceived in an apparent way, but in the resonances with which a dialogue is established when listening to it again.

Cade White – Infinite (Single)

Cade White – Infinite (Single)

Cade White

“Infinite (Single)”

The astronaut gazed upwards from the lunar surface, eyes fixed on the pale blue disc he called home. Only now could he could see just how small and fragile it was, seemingly on the verge of being swallowed by the inky darkness that enveloped its faint, yet ever lustrous glow. From here, he thought, the space around it could only be described as… infinite.

This was a further experimentation in ambient sound, this time framed against our very universe. I’m pleased (if not completely so) with the outcome, and hope to be able to put out releases more regularly from here on in. (And no, I still don’t know any musical theory)

As a side note – feel free to use any of the audio in this release for personal and commercial projects, just be sure to mention me and drop a link to this page, subject to the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License.

Me In The Bath – Last Before Jura

Me In The Bath

“Last Before Jura”

This time, with guests, Me In The Bath recorded an acoustic album in full improvisation, in a busy afternoon of April 2018. Then, drums were patiently added during the two next years, for a release that looks toward Velvet Underground, somewhere between alternative acoustic rock and artrock, punk and poppunk.

George Christian – Longes

George Christian – Longes
[mhrk235]

George Christian

“Longes”

“This album is the first work I’ve done in 2019 and also part of a series of instrumental works that reflect upon absence in different ways, in a pentalogy. All of them expresses what I felt after the latest political misfortunes in my country (Brazil) and overall social-political state of mind in the world. In “Insomniac Dreams” – the absence of rest and sleep to convey life in its existence. In “Antimanicomial” – the absence of sanity in its helplessness in a political system that doesn’t give a care. In “Duets for Balogh” – the absence of a friend, despite his presence in sound conversations. In “Cinzas” – the absence of care on nature, a mourn for dead rivers. And this, “Longes” is about absence of faith. However, there is no particular order, nor any sound similarities for this pentalogy, despite being linked thematically. “Insomniac Dreams” was the first published one, but “Longes” was the one recorded first, with later-on finalizations.

”Longes” is my second work in which I play electric guitar (a Telecaster) as a main instrument (first one was “Electric Ramblings” (2014) in most of the tracks). It was conceived as a series of variations on the final motif from the coda of the song “Muito Mais Longe do que o Bastante”, which was originally recorded for the album “La Géographie sans Regret” (2012), made in collaboration with Mehata Sentimental Legend. In this album, I explore on electric guitar both timbral and electronic experimentations whereas the themes are extended without regard on time and space, despite having their own implicit structure. Apart from the last track (X), the pieces were all improvised in their performances. Somehow, it’s a spiritual manifesto on struggling for survival, in electric mantras; against all odds, a life-affirming statement.”

Mariano Rodriguez – Huesos Secos

Mariano Rodriguez – Huesos Secos

Mariano Rodriguez

“Huesos Secos”

We are very pleased and grateful to share Huesos Secos (Dry Bones), by Mariano Rodríguez through Carbono Proyecto Records. The idea has been brewing for a long time now, but as we know, in our sound, musical and self-managed projects, if we have anything, it is the freedom to let the processes flow until the ideas and personal planets align.

It’s been already four years since we last published a disc by this guitar artist-craftsman-monk based in Bariloche for a couple of decades. It was Praise the Road, first edited by the American label Grass-Tops Recordings and currently available through his own bandcamp. Anyway, he frequently participates in various compilations that range from the experimental to specific tributes such as the recent one to Jack Rose, another of Mariano’s acoustic guitarists of reference.

In many ways inspired by the logic of the “American primitive guitar” (a term that designates a “transitional” genre according to Wikipedia, to which a legion of guitarists from pioneer John Fahey in the 50-60s, through Leo Kottke, Robbie Basho and the aforementioned Jack Rose until today), Mariano Rodríguez’s music does not focus on the technical deployment of the guitarist, but on the more spiritual or meditative dimension of it. And in connection with all this, although not as conditioning, of course, his deep Christian faith intervenes since his adherence to the theology of Third World liberation. Listen for example to Liberation Theology for beginners, described by him as a Christmas album.

Somehow the tracks that make up Huesos Secos synthesize the mental and sound journey that Mariano started with his family in southern Argentina. This experience was also rooted in half of his life living in Buenos Aires, forming part of different rock and punk bands, and projects with the excellent singer-songwriter Adrián Paoletti among others. But without a doubt his current music is an inseparable part of a Patagonia that he has made his own, resignifying a whole set of influences, which finally act as tools to establish a back and forth movement with his perception of those places of the Argentine interior and its story.

Teeth Of Divine – Act I – Genesis
[mhrk228]

Teeth Of Divine

“Act I – Genesis”

“This album is a long-standing exploration of the juxtaposition between physical presence and mental boundaries that emerged during the creative process. Our bodies are matter physically present in the present reality, but our psychic capacities can be distanced, reaching parallel inter-temporal spaces. They aim at creating internal and external associative representations between presence – happening – reflection directed at the senses. The immediate primal feeling in one present is lost or renewed, disappears or reappears after nothing is the same again.”
