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

“Bralitz Vol. 1”

The music you are listening to was recorded in the last week of August 2012 in Bralitz/Brandenburg, Germany. That year, there wasn’t a Braaahhlitz Festival yet, just a small concert at the end of the week. So there was plenty of time to play music.

The basic tracks with guitars, drums and bass were mostly recorded live, on a stage in the old railway station’s former waiting hall. After that, the musicians from the aaahh-records family contributed their parts. No boundaries – there is soul infused pop, folky acoustic songs, quirky raps, and beautiful melodies.

[VULP-0158]

Monplaisir

“Un jour je saurai”

A delicately lo-fi offering beaming in from the banlieues of Paris. This sequence of free-improvisational drones and dark chamber pieces seem to be channeling haunted memories of the fin de siècle via a dusty apartment mirror: wintry, intimate, and melancholic.

Lavoura – Ayizan

Lavoura – Ayizan
[foot282]

Lavoura

“Ayizan”

Formed 16 years ago, Lavoura is a reference in future jazz made in Brazil. The group debuted two more songs, after a series of singles started in 2018. “Ayizan” is the first single. Climatic, the track brings in its DNA the Brazilian rhythm and the psychedelia, amplified by the arrangements and the accurate production, that confer a certain epic tone to the sonority, without losing the characteristic groove. The other single, “Bossa Exploitation”, refers to the anthropophagic research involving African music. It is the result of impromptu sessions that the group held between 2017 and 2018. Integrated by composers, producers, arrangers, beatmakers, musicians, visual artists and inventors, Lavoura makes a cinematic sound, referenced by the rhythm science and inspired by the concepts of phusion (fusion of the 21st century) and psychogeography, transform spaces in sensory experiences).

Юродивый – Fallen Expectations

Юродивый – Fallen Expectations
[ST005]

Юродивый

“Fallen Expectations”

Project made by polish, Warsaw based anonymous artist.

The sound of юродивый is closely related to the emotional side of everyday life in a modern world. Acoustic piano recordings combined with electronic instruments and samples are the main components of the atmosphere of this project.

The name юродивый means the fool for Christ which was one of the main models of the sanctity in the Russian orthodox catholic church. Foolishness, emotions and disappointment are the three elements which gave life to the “Fallen expectations” – debut release of this project.

The three productions were recorded during one night studio session in winter 2018/19.

Dave Schoepke – Before Black And White

Dave Schoepke – Before Black And White
[djummi.015]

Dave Schoepke

“Before Black And White”

Before Black and White is a song exclusively written for drumset, which definitely provoke usual listening habits kindly. His percussion instrument becomes a storyteller. No longer convinient drumbeat, but sounding drums. Dave causes the drumheads to oscillate, so that you inevitably start to pause and pay attention.

The inspiration for single spawns from the thought, that black and white photography was the first real step in the direction of mass documentation of humans to where we have gone to today and reminds one that those things that we hold so dear are not permanent. Like us. Humans focused more on life and living it back then and less on documenting it like we constantly do today.

[VULP-0146]

Lately Kind Of Yeah

“Sturm und Drang”

Lately Kind of Yeah – Sturm und Drang (VULP-0146)

Part of the Lately Kind of Yeah archive series.

Sturm und Drang is a greatly improved and expanded Storm and Urge, originally released on Vulpiano back in 2011. Awash with noise but still so sweet, and perhaps one of the warmest, coziest releases LKOY’s discography.

Words from the artist:

“Marking a start to the singer-songwriter transition, I went away from sequencing synths and into learning how to sing. It was ultimately influenced by relationships and usually from the perspective of ‘me to you’, but its turn-around was that I always sang them to myself. Despite drowning most lyrics in delay and noise, it only mattered if I knew what they were. This was my practice of reminders and rewiring.

There’s always been recordings from each cycle that sang and latched onto other people, giving reason into sharing the music at all, but that did eventually mutate why I liked to record. Once anyone else heard my voice, it wasn’t really mine anymore.”

“Épilogue (Lo​-​Fi) “

En décembre 2017 nous avons enregistré, lors d’une session live, les dernières pièces instrumentales de Tintamare.
À cette date, l’idée était de faire une petite pré-prod pour un futur album. N’ayant point l’idée que le projet s’acheminerait vers une fin si proche, nous offrons aujourd’hui ces enregistrements, sous la forme d’un E.P. conclusif très Lo-Fi, très cru et très instrumental.
Voici donc les toutes dernières compositions de Tintamare afin qu’elles fassent aussi parties de la discographie.Merci pour le support et toutes les années. À tous et à toutes.

George L Smyth – A Dream Itself Is But A Shadow

George L Smyth

“A Dream Itself Is But A Shadow”

A Dream Itself Is But A Shadow was written in response to Disquiet Junto Project 0379: Open Studios

Step 1: The purpose of this week’s project is to provide participants opportunities to get feedback on works-in-progress. Consider work you’re doing you’d appreciate responses to from fellow Junto participants.
Step 2: Either upload an existing recording (sketches and mid-process takes may prove optimal), or record something new and post it online for feedback. If there are some things in particular you’d like feedback on, mention what they are.

A Dream Itself Is But A Shadow is, of course, a quote from Shakespeare’s Hamlet. I started writing it in response to the haiku by Portuguese author Corine Timmer:

the falling tide
tugs at my dream –
winter solstice

I was not able to complete the piece in time for inclusion with naviarhaiku272. I have returned to it off and on and am at a place comfortable where I believe that it can be shared.

A Dream Itself Is But A Shadow was written for Flute, Clarinet, Bassoon, Horn, Trombone, Vibraphone, Violin, Viola, Cello and String Bass.

Melinda & Maciek – Jazz Frit

Melinda & Maciek – Jazz Frit
[LBN043]

Melinda & Maciek

“Jazz Frit”

Melinda & Maciek is a project started in February 2018 thanks to an accidental Instagram connection between 2 musicians. Melinda Ligeti is a composer/singer/multiinstrumentalist/arranger/producer from Serbia, living in Italy, while Maciek Cieslak is a drummer from Poland, living in France. It all started with Melinda’s old wish to write music based on a bare drum track. Maciek happened to have some ready, recorded drumparts that he sent to her, and she used them to build music upon it, using piano, synth and bass. It was an experimental approach to composition Melinda always wanted to try, and it finally happened. The result is 4 songs, mixing jazz, prog, fusion, chillout, contemporary… imagined as a mini album, giving the taste of what this project might become if developed further. 3 of them are instrumental, and one is also involving Maciek’s vocals that got caught on microphones while recording the drumpart, a selfironic song that makes fun of the hardship of singing and playing at the same time, in his native Polish language. Jazz Frit is a symbolic title for this album, for the fact that musicians involved are living in (Fr)ance and (It)aly, but also, and so much more, for the meaning of frit word, which by Oxford dictionary definition is the mixture of silica and fluxes which is fused at high temperature to make glass, plus – according to urban dictionary means intoxicating/exciting, as well as ligthly fried.

Chris Silver T + Mauro Sambo – …che il sapore dell’aria possa appoggiarsi alle labbra

Chris Silver T + Mauro Sambo – …che il sapore dell’aria possa appoggiarsi alle labbra
[pn138]

Chris Silver T + Mauro Sambo

“…che il sapore dell’aria possa appoggiarsi alle labbra”

“In un arco temporale molto breve” (a Chris & Mauro).

Quando Il corpo si separa dalla mente e nuovi spazi si formano

Tu respira…

lascia passare l’aria e inoltrarsi l’ombra…

…aria

la mente si domanda cos’è questa massa di carne, ossa e tendini che deve far muovere, spostare…
Una massa in perenne fermento, sempre tesa.

Perché?

Il corpo dal canto suo si sente privato di senso, quasi un intruso, un peso per quel mondo
metafisico verso cui la mente tende.

E’ di troppo?

Piccole scosse muovono le dita, che lasciate a loro stesse si erano addormentate,
forse un tentativo della mente di abbandonarle…

l’aria si appoggia alle labbra e il naso freme per quel sentore, forse più un ricordo,
di incenso, tenue ma insistente.

Un lungo respiro sposta i polmoni e ossigena…

Tu respira…

ora si che…

“…cos’era quel suono? Hanno bussato?…No, non dovrebbe essere già qui…”

La gola stretta in una morsa, una sensazione di brivido che corre lungo lo stomaco e lo sterno.

L’esterno che risveglia l’interno.

Non è possibile lasciarlo indietro quel corpo… dietro la porta qualcuno lo aspetta…

ritorna a terra, con i piedi saldi, i sensi allerta, il cuore fremente.
