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

Hideor Tild – Home Directory

Hideor Tild – Home Directory

Hideor Tild

“Home Directory”

Member of the band Blue Haired Girl, which supported him in the recording of this first solo effort touched by a similar spirit of musical nomadism, Hideor Tild started “Home Directory”, published by IRM Netlabel and Les Disques Normal, with songs composed on his acoustic guitar.

From that breadcrumb’s thread and without losing any of this initial spontaneity, the French musician has woven unique and varied atmospheres, mixing pastoral ballads and electrified cavalcades, western folk elements and instruments from Africa and Asia (from Mali to Uzbekistan), intoxicating strings and percussions of all kinds, hints of electronic music and unusual sounds ranging from vocoder to drum machines through field recordings and mystical chants coming from multiple geographical origins : voices from Mexico to Japan, Touvain and Inuit songs, etc.

As a result, the mostly instrumental “Home Directory” is an album filled with spirituality that invites you to travel far but also to make your own inner journey, summoning previous adventurers of acoustic guitars such as Mice Parade, Gustavo Santaolalla, Ry Cooder or Tunng’s early records.

Luke Lund – Vaporous Passage

Luke Lund – Vaporous Passage
[TERR115]

Luke Lund

“Vaporous Passage”

TERR115: “Vaporous Passage” is a ruminative distillation of Luke Lund’s hypnagogic drone guitar and obsession with fx, dedicated to exploring textural properties and limitations of the EBow.

Inspired by revisiting recordings from 2011, this hourlong improvised guitar journey harkens back to his EBow worshipping “Infinite Sustain” albums from former ambient project Light Overhead, but importantly bears no efforts to purely retrace those recordings a decade later.

Split into two contrary forces, the album opens with bittersweet, swirling vignettes saturated with ferric fuzz — the dreamlike, chiming breeze of “Deliverance From Doubt” arcs to elegant organ-like tones before dissipating away into the glistening, soporific kaleidoscope of “Far Peripheral” — A reprise bridges the warm soundscapes into a despaired flipside of unholy drone — The depleted discord of “First Encounter” paints a monochrome, void-staring picture — The churning phantom rhythm of quasi-industrial “The Ache Beneath” crushes across spiraling walls of doom — The searching album finale floods over with a heart-stricken motif as a closing gesture…

“Vaporous Passage” is a vehement step forwards, revitalising his relationship with weightless guitar by a more mature approach.

Cairo Braga

“Ultimatum / Imediatum”

This little diptych was made from scratch between 12/07/2021 at 23h00 and 13/07/2021 at 23h, specifically to be released as part of Netlabel Day 2021. Visit netlabelday.com to know more and listen to hundreds of new songs, all available freely under Creative Commons licenses and released by netlabels.

This release is very important to me because it represents the end of a severe writer’s block caused by trauma, because it is the last ever official release on the netlabel I founded, Elegant Elephant, which is ending operations, and because this is my pandemic record.

Hope you enjoy it and spread the word! Don’t forget to tell me what you think about it, feedback is greatly appreciated.

I also have an up-and-coming Patreon page at patreon.com/cairobraga and I will be posting exclusive material from this release there, so don’t miss out, join me there. :D

nocniptak.cz (in Czech and English)

Noční pták (Nightbird) was formed ten years ago as a project of Luboš Fidler and Zdeněk Konopásek. Luboš Fidler is one of the most important and uncompromising performers of the Czech alternative scene. As a bass/acoustic guitar player, he was founding member of alternative rock groups of 1970s and 80s, such as Stehlík or Švehlík, he played with MCH Band, Kilhets etc. In early 1980s he was involved in the minimalist-experimental trio Janota-Fidler-Richter (together with Oldřich Janota and Pavel Richter). Zdeněk Konopásek was drummer of the early and late 1980s band Dvouletá fáma. He also played, e.g., in the Dr. Konopný Quartet (together with Joe Karafiát, Jan Štolba and Radomil Uhlíř) and also collaborated with Oldřich Janota. Currently he is involved in theatrical-musical performances of Divadlo Vizita and, as a second drummer, in the band Fish, Flesh, Field & Henry $. Occasionally, he plays solo on his drum set. The two are joined, in recent years, by a “permanent guest” Štěpán Pečírka (Vyšší popular, Kolotoč theater, Richter band).

The album “I am healthy and things are going well” is based on live recordings from rehearsals and home concert that took place in summer 2019. These recordings were revisited and reworked into original compositions by Luboš Fidler in early 2021.
Fidler explains the title of the album as follows: The phrase “I am healthy and things are going well” (or: I am healthy and fine) was pre-printed in all languages of Austrian-Hungarian monarchy on postcards sent by soldiers from the trenches of the First World War. This album can be understood as a flare fired from the trenches in which we have been for more than a year in 2020-21.

“Sleepswitch”

Richey returns with a single, “Sleepswitch”, ahead of his upcoming solo album, along with exclusive b-side “Stepping Out Of The Window”. Evoking the experience of insomnia, a panoramic synth refrain recalls someone pitching through a seastorm as a post-punk rhythm forces the ship onwards. A droning vortex of a solo organ progression serves as the coda.
