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

Sonda

“Wahadelko”

Aleks and Seba have already done a bit for the alternative scene. The first one in Renmin Ribao, the second one in Raw Plastic and the Paris Syndrome. Apparently, the boys are still not enough and they try their hand at a completely different form. This is the first time we hear them in this style, but it is safe to say that they know what they are doing. The key to all listening pleasure is the distinctive chorus. Synthwave clashes with blurred vocals, setting a dreamy, even slightly nostalgic mood. Pretty simple diagram, but there is something very catchy here. It’s the same procedure I see in some MGMT or Molly Nilsson songs. Clash of negative and positive emotions in a very light form.

rADio eNd – OddSchool

rADio eNd – OddSchool
[LCNLP149]

rADio eNd

“OddSchool”

The Necrophile Hummingbird Netlabel presents Oddschool by rADio eNd.

“Odd Music for Derealizationed People”.

About beneath and above the surface of this album :
Oddschool is the third album of rADio eNd with for members the same trio*. While Hum Antenna was more about psychedelic explosion, Underground Culture was… well, about the Underground Culture, OddSchool is focus perhaps more on the reality study. And maybe the way we can communicate through music. We could have stayed more in the comfort zone with a mostly instrumental music, but since the very beginning, rADio eNd is thought like a kind of sonar. That’s why OddSchool needed to be haunted by lyrics as well as by any kind of crypto mantras, to show how, each can unlock these mantras to get a personalized message, as I did.
Also, despite I far enjoy not straight political stuff, mostly because the way this music is created is far more political than any talk, and that Dead or Alive ! could have been more universal and timeless, only with the mantra about the reversing of the symbols. I will not do a list of how the world is in huge trouble these days, but the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade law in the United States is too much dramatic for so many women, to keep my mouth shut down.
It can be interesting also to notice, that despite I do not voluntary transposed them in this song, many ideas were already in the word I added to underground culture presentation, to understand the whole creation process.
About Ok with everything… the meaning is first at the edge of two interpretations, in the industrial music style. It needs to decipher it by yourself as you can do with a koan, then only, the mantra deliver its message. This could talk, as well about acceptation, as a way to upgrade oneself, as I experienced it in my own life, acceptation (not resignation), to be able to really integrate something. As well, about fake acceptation, the same way that the kind of stuff like being friend with everyone indeed lead to be friend with no one, avoiding conflict can, that way, make you stand up for wicked things, at the opposite to any values which could motivate to do this.
Next I added the lyrics about Karpman triangle, perhaps because to remove these roles is a fine way to solve this mantra. More generally, like if you learn to remove your own storytelling,
you’ll be able to remove the propaganda storytelling.
Last but not least, there is an educational dimension in the whole album. When I was younger I’ve been studying, a short time, in the “lycée expérimental de Saint-Nazaire”. A school based on active pedagogies. Where students are equal in right with the educative team members. Where everyone does as well administrative tasks, cleaning, cooking, etc. students choice what they want to study and vote for the establishment choices.
There are other ways to learn if we want another world. In france in ordinary colleges, things are very slowly changing, but what is the meaning to form the teachers to the caring without to let them do the criticism of the system ? While the whole society is build on violence, competition, exclusion, and so on. Also, if certain are still thinking like being superior because of their knowledge to the student. And often haven’t got experience outside of scholar system as human being. Or also the way sometime teachers can disgust students by showing art through the academic critic’s point of view, for example avoiding anything really subversive as well in the shape than in the essence.
Or still severing everything instead to show how linked all domains, learn to transpose, can help you to build yourself and live by yourself.
So many things to say about this kind of things, that I prefer to do not develop this more. An anecdote about the artwork, to complete the way things are linked, I made it with a glass photography of a school in ruin.
D-I-Y studies shall be a lifetime task, to experiment with art for example is a fine tool to learn, creations are meaningful fruits to help you to grow up.

Various Artist – Vulpiano Records Sampler EP: Vol. 16

Various Artist – Vulpiano Records Sampler EP: Vol. 16

Various Artist

“Vulpiano Records Sampler EP: Vol. 16”

With this sampler, we present artists who have made Vulpiano across the span of 2021 and into early 2022. We find both continuity and renewal of the recurring themes solidified at our core over 12 years.

There are long-time pillars of the label: Richey Hackett’s tremendous growth branching into emotionally vital electronic compositions; the ever-versatile, 90s alternative-saturated introspections of King Elizabeth (furiously prolific since 2020 after a long absence since the early years of Vulpiano); the lush and transcendent playfulness of Brevyn’s synth work, with influences that distill how online music defies generational stereotyping.

And as ever newer artists arrived, like tributaries at the conflux of a river: a celestially noisy instrumental from Torre di Fine abstracts from the vast post-rock sound of his first Vulpiano release; immortal ebt returns triumphant with a new, crushingly hypnagogic sound after an 8-year absence; Lhas Fawn stirs a psychedelic whirlpool of aleatory ritual; Fabio Keiner’s meditative, microtonal opus adds to Vulpiano’s canon of masterful drone records; and Wood Ship’s subtly dissonant gaze at a winter horizon soothes, but begs contemplation.

Ouranoise And Ed End – Darkness Is Knocking At My Door

Ouranoise And Ed End – Darkness Is Knocking At My Door
[LCNLP148]

Ouranoise And Ed End

“Darkness Is Knocking At My Door”

The Necrophile Hummingbird Netlabel presents Darkness is knocking at my door by Ouranoise and Ed End.

“Witch Rock for Unborn People”.

About the surface of this album :

Do you remember ?
When the first time you really met another being.
No shapes matter.
I notice that sometime with very sensitive people, some may call this people empaths, it’s like we’ve never been severed.
This kind of unborn children may be still linked to everything, like perhaps before the birth. I can be wrong, but it seems the case of Ouranoise.
Also seems it’s my own case and maybe that’s half why, since my name is Ed End I feel non-binary, darkness and light melt in an inextricable way, the other half may be because of how the patriarchal society is violent against the women as well sometime disallow elementary right as well to own their bodies.
Or it’s just the fruit of my imagination. Indeed, like so many, my father was violent and my mother for example was unable to say or show that she loved me.
Anyway, that’s not the plot. So what would be music if not a fundamental element of the meeting process. The vibrations finding their phases. Tuning. Perhaps the result of love and life melt is o and i overlaid. One of the symbolism analysis possible is that the other dot is replicated inside the o becoming 2.
And again and again each time we meet someone. Sounds crazy ? I don’t know.
I’m walking through life with my eyes blinded to keep my other sens wide open.
No rational process in action. Only fluid moves thru the possible fields.
So Ouranoise musical universe met my musical universe and I’m so happy to share this music with you.

About the depths of this album :

Perhaps it would be not that far in the style index of death rock or darkwave or postpunk…
Let’s dig this with a little of the story about this improvised track. Many of the last tracks recorded are far too long for usual listeners habits.
So first I extracted the most significant parts of them or reduced them to the essential.
Thinking myself that I’m often listening to shorter tracks. But next because I like to think the long time listeners of the netlabel are really open mind, and also that I enjoy these tracks for the trance inducing repetitive effect, so I chose to do not mutilate them, thinking it could coin a new style : Mantra Wave.

Actually, this one is more created like a sort of 45 rpm Single track which really do not care of any limitations.

Last few days ago I was reading Twilight of the idols and was so disappointed with what it shows about Nietzsche, being very different of what I thought when I read Also Sprach Zarathustra…
I realized to what level it’s possible that a book can be far different of the writer thoughts behind. So I choose to keep sharing my point of view,
but I’m warning you to never forget that the music matter more than any of my words.
Or for this release my opinion is the more relevant thing to do is to really listen the poetry of Ouranoise :

An ode to the darkness

The obsessive compulsive of the literal captive disorder of tales and boiling horns lying on its side looks at you so that you smile and see your face in the
you caress with your voices the dream come true where the sweet sacred darkness kneels while kissing its hands of ether until the light appeared
faint whisper of the little birds that wake up to sing those who are being born among the trees their eyes of different colors twinkle to find the infinite seed of the sky and a fresh wind enters my soul to remember that my arms learned to fly like them
now the moon shines for me
now the sun does me good
I love you now and I will love you forever
I just want to be inside you and feel your soul melt with mine
those dreams that come true in the darkness so clear and full of your eyes

looking for delirium the mind closed looking for the void the present is felt and in a sung verse the sun grows as if it were the first day of life
through your hands the oracle of the magicians makes me read the creativity that I possess I am the sweet firmament of the golden in the sunset
I am the full cup of the magician and the heavenly love of lovers
I am that sky full of stars that become light to go through you and kiss you while I rise with you to the imagination of life.

Good listen & thanks a lot for the support.
Love+Share+DIY
ed end

Dedicated to all those who are aware that intuitive mode is the key to allow deep changes without their fundamental difference being block by rational deny mode or misguided by any ersatz process generating only superficial changes.
May self-knowledge be a blessing to walk out of the dark ages.

Oizak – Camping Sauvage !

Oizak – Camping Sauvage !

Oizak

“Camping Sauvage !”

Alongside the electrified side of his music which we showcased last December by releasing “Le Ciel Rouge”, an adventurous and freeform kind of post punk and noise pop whether from his duos Red Space Cyrod, HyperSensible and Tadash or by himself under the simple moniker Cyrod, Cyrille Poumerie has been exploring since 2014 a more electronic venture at the crossroads of ambient and kosmische musik with his Oizak project. Perpetuating a taste for visuals from vintage SF comics like with the two previous records “µ” (2019) and “Cartilages Stellaires” (2020), “Camping Sauvage !” (“Wild Camping” in English) is already the 13th release of this alias interested in abstract musical narratives, an album all the more captivating for attempting to draw a rather unprecedented bridge between synthetic soundscapes, psychedelic collages and cinematographic sampling, asserting a singular aesthetic equally influenced by 70s krautrock, 80s experimental pop and 90s abstract hip-hop. After diving into drone, stellar folk, noise dissonances, motorik and some sort of bedside neo-classical music, so many influences that reappear intermittently throughout “Camping Sauvage !”, Oizak offers us 5 new mutating instrumentals where downtempo beats, dreamlike synths, decadent arpeggiators and keyboards from another time mingle with vocal and orchestral samples (“Repérage Désordonné”), bursts of freejazz brass (“Amorçage des Possibles”) and more syncopated rhythms with a chopped up groove (the opening part of “Piétinement Orbital”), not hesitating to give in to its most baroque inspiration to finally remind us of a strange crossbreed between The Residents, Tangerine Dream and Kid Koala – or maybe Trans Am, Boards of Canada and 80s Morricone – without the avant-garde aspect ever taking over the cinematic impetus and delicate breathe of emotion. Not to be missed !
