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 Miro, 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

“What The Fuck Are You Doing This Side?”

We are an experimental, dark ambient, folklore, horror project built on our experiences of living in South Africa. Up until now we haven’t felt like music can be unsettling and or eerie enough, and wanted to change that!

We hope it unsettles you. We hope you find it intriguing.

“Mocking the Devil”

GoH-666: Various Artists – Mocking the Devil

So it is done. Instead of making another satanic compilation, we made an anti-satanic festival of mockery. Nineteen tracks of great variety in possibly all genres preached by Gates of Hypnos. Noise walls, dark ambient passages, free-form sound experiments, violent hash noise eruptions and hypnotic, repetitive industrials. Have fun mocking the devil!

Thuuooom – neo ep

Thuuooom – neo ep
[thump326]

Thuuooom

“neo ep”

This ep is a result of an evening session conducted in 2020. It mixes rhythmic patterns of the previous full length Thuoom album Luonto with the sounds of a live performance at Ambient Evening “Lux Archipelago” November 22nd, 2019 where Thuoom, using exclusively nature field recordings, performed alongside other musicians. The resulting sounds are more ambient-y than rhythmic, hence the use of moniker Thuuooom.

Instruments used on this record: Field recordings captured with a binaural Soundman OKM II Classic Solo microphone attached to a Zoom H4n Pro portable recorder.

/allow yourself to be consumed/

“in the beginning of the summer i acquired a broken electric organ from the 70s. after renovating it i fell in love with it’s raw sound. it was alive and it had a story to tell.

later i got the chance to travel trough central europe. it was an almost non-stop journey. travelling at time more than 15+ hours a day. your body stops feeling the motion. the landscape became a moving decor. a peculiar soundtrack started to form from all the road noises, the static of the radio and the low chatter of the other passengers. time became irrelevant and abstract. my thoughts formed a stream, shifting from sleep and wake. detached form the outside world nothing truly existed.

when i got back home i wanted to experience this state again – this constant moving, this silence that was never really silent. a place outside of time.

the organ + some field recordings done on the go formed a huge mass sonically inspired by this trip but also by my search of a sanctuary.

омайна тишина, погълни ме! (bewitching silence, swallow me whole!) is an album dedicated to the need of nothingness and the passage of time. as anxiety saturates our everyday life we find ourselves struggling to find space. this album provided me with the space i needed and i hope it will do the same for you.”

WHΛLTHISИEY – Hypnothist

WHΛLTHISИEY

“Hypnothist”

The music of WHΛLTHISИEY is a solitary soundtrack to nowhere, a non-tourist map into the unknown; music and images to create new, fully immersive environments, an intriguing aural pilgrimage with no destination in time and space, nuances and labyrinths.
WHΛLTHISИEY selects and mixes music for the mind and body in the same quantities that emerges from encounters between the past and the present, drawing beauty of the commonplace, wiping, polishing it, giving it life again, so to produce the same effect of the original freshness and spontaneity, a mirror that transforms it absorbs and reflects, telescoping the past through the present. WHΛLTHISИEY has a necessity to reimagine time even as time runs out.

Makunouchi Bento

“Povestea mea 2 (Original Music by Makunouchi Bento)”

The original soundtrack we made for Reniform’s “Povestea mea 2” / “My Story 2”.
These are not songs, but background sonic illustrations, meant to play along with AR 3D animations and people telling their stories. Normally, they are designed to play continuously: there are 3 looped audio tracks, of different length, for each “song” – when played together, the overall sense of repetition is less obvious.
Here you can listen to short, ~2m rendered demos. We strongly advise you to download the album, find the 9 images included in the archive, install the Reniform app on your smartphone and use it to see the whole thing. The texts / vocal tracks are Romanian only.

Philippe Blache – Across the Silence and the Shade

Philippe Blache – Across the Silence and the Shade
[mhrk372]

Philippe Blache

“Across the Silence and the Shade”

With a sense of musical introspection, incantatory melodicism and cinematic dread Philippe Blache (from Day Before Us) goes back on the forefront with a highly thrilling melancholic drama for sonic driftscapes and devastating walls of power electronics tempered by organic ethereal vibes. Detached and evanescent melodies are battling against the obscured, unsettling, stormy and weary industrial atmosphere. Powerful internal narrations and incantatory voices at distance occasionally come into the mix. With its performative bitter anthems, its ritualistic then almost religious nature, the album invites the listener to be progressively mersed in a netwok of allusive images, investing pagan mythologies, poetical escapism and christian symbology. This is the second musical offspring signed under his own name after a prolific production under the moniker of “Day Before Us”, veteran project in sorrowful dark wave neoclassicism. «Across the silence and the shade» is an essential and mournful post-ambient journey which involves an emotional catharsis.

Released November 17, 2023 as free (cc) digital download and beautiful limited digipak CD edition.

Written, recorded and produced by Philippe Blache

Mastered by Giuseppe Verticchio

Graphic design and artwork by Joan Llopis Doménech

Sigil of Time & Mirocaw

“COVERED WITH MOSS trilogy”

A theme in three variations: from dark ambient, via a subtle hint of psychedelic, to a more minimalistic neoclassical theme. It kind of showcases the evolution of ambient music from classical minimalism and use of ambient noise to a more post industrial sound.

Julian Winter – Home

Julian Winter – Home

Julian Winter

“Home”

Julian Winter’s latest 5 track EP “Home” is a combination of autobiographical tracks, describing his short journey through Europe in the fall of 2018. Each city is portrayed by a flavor of its ambient sounds combined with Julian’s musical interpretation of the untangleable combination of a city’s impression and his own mind state at the given time.

Each track manages to translate a strong emotional impression, ranging from nostalgic up to a dramatic sense of being overcome by one’s own existence. This wild diversity of feelings enables “Home” to grab your attention, and pull you into the composer’s brain in order to get a clear view from his perspective, to take you along on his journey.

On a musical level, the depiction is realized by laid back guitar melodies and piano parts, which are accompanied by Julians trademark rhythmic variations using real percussion instruments. His use of post production and editing manages to give “Home” an extremely organic and up to date feel, thus making it qualify as a worthy successor to all of his previous work.

All tracks written, performed and produced by Julian Winter, except for “Paris”, which was written by a female member of Anonymous.

Mixed by Gerrit Elbrink.

[mhrk371]

sevensy

“Reckoning (Creation)”

released November 2, 2023

sevensy (aka Austin Brooks) creates music that directly facilitates imaginal sojourns, wherein the message is the sound itself. sevensy mixes electronic and natural sounds with processed guitars and acoustic instruments and has released his music with Mahorka from the time of the label’s inception.

His musical themes ‘unfold into an unusual landscape’ so that it is often impossible to tell where one ends and another begins.

“Form emerges, as fragile as a snowdrop’s blossom, as solid as a mountain, then recedes and is transformed. Awareness witnesses the interplay of all things. “Reckoning (creation)” aims to musically depict this metamorphosis. Acoustic or treated electric guitar forms the basis of every piece, though this may not be evident upon first listening. Layers of synthesisers and bass are interwoven with fragments of melodies that coalesce and dissolve.”

Euphoria Echoes of Inotai

“Time Tomb LP”

Euphoria echoes of gazing at the uncontrived sameness.
Euphoria echoes of finding rest in illusion.
Euphoria echoes of spectral freezing.
Euphoria echoes of raising the wattage on that dim holy halo.Euphoria echoes of circles of ornamentation,
of inexpressible expanse of sound,
of spooky action at a distance,
of otherworldly concerns.

Euphoria echoes of unpredictory sensory inputs.
Euphoria echoes of self-justifying circulation of intensities.
Euphoria echoes of the girl that won’t return your love but is totally worth it.
Euphoria echoes of the desert called our culture.

Euphoria echoes of sleeping cat shadow,
of meaning making machines,
of the cognitive dissidents,
of feast that eats itself.

Euphoria echoes of tikkun olam.
Euphoria echoes of veiling their vices in virtuous words.
Euphoria echoes of male desire for salvation through gadgets.
Euphoria echoes of her who was here long before the apes started dreaming of gods.

Break On Beacons – An uninterrupted flow of images, shapes and colors…

Auto Draft

Break On Beacons

“An uninterrupted flow of images, shapes and colors…”

Que d’émoi lorsque deux artistes que l’on a défendus séparément avec d’autres projets joignent leurs forces pour un premier album en commun… et d’autant plus lorsque la réussite est au rendez-vous. C’est le cas de Break On Beacons, où l’on retrouve aux beats le Rennais Valgidrà et aux synthés le Bordelais Innocent But Guilty (moitié entre autres de Wintermute : indierockmag.bandcamp.com/album/rubber ), deux musiciens électroniques dont la collaboration trouve sa source dans les projets de remixes et autres albums collectifs du second, auxquels a maintes fois participé le premier. Ainsi, si Valgidrà suit depuis un bon moment les travaux d’IBG, se reconnaissant notamment dans sa fibre trip-hop/abstract, le patron de Foolish Records a quant à lui découvert la musique de son nouveau compagnon de jeu par l’intermédiaire d’IRM Netlabel, citant tout particulièrement l’album “Watched Watchers” (indierockmag.bandcamp.com/album/watched-watchers) et l’EP “Daily Grinders” en duo avec Konejo (indierockmag.bandcamp.com/album/daily-grinders-ep), tous deux sortis en 2021. D’emblée avec ce projet commun, dont le nom évoque l’exploration de voies non balisées, l’idée de sortir des sentiers battus et en particulier des limites que l’on s’impose soi-même inconsciemment, on est à la fois en terrain familier et dans un inconnu plus stellaire que ce à quoi les deux compères nous avaient habitués jusqu’ici. On reconnaît ainsi les nappes à la fois profondes, sombres et éthérées aux subtils motifs mélodiques d’IBG dont le son a évolué cette dernière année d’un drone massif et radical (cf. le génial duo Anteraks qu’il forme avec le Roumain Uburgründ) vers quelque chose de plus aérien, entre electronica et trip-hop, et les beats à la croisée d’un groove abstract et d’une IDM aux ponctuations sèches de Valgidrà, de même que son sens du sample vocal rythmique, sur le morceau-titre par exemple. Et pourtant, “An uninterrupted flow of images, shapes and colors…” donne constamment l’impression de tendre vers des horizons inexplorés, à la frontière du cosmos et des grands espaces intérieurs de ses auteurs, un album qui largue les amarres vers un ailleurs fait à la fois d’aventures et d’introspection, de moments épiques et d’instants suspendus, de rêves et de désillusions. En un mot : un bijou !—–
ENGLISH VERSION

What excitement when two artists that we have published separately with different projects join forces to release a first album together… and even more so when it sounds like an achievement. This is indeed the case of Break On Beacons, where we find at the beats Valgidrà from Rennes and at the synths Innocent But Guilty from Bordeaux (half of Wintermute, among others : indierockmag.bandcamp.com/album/rubber ), two French electronic musicians whose collaboration finds its origin in IBG’s remix and collective projects, in which Valgidrà took part several times. The later has been following the work of IBG for a while, finding common ground in his trip-hop/abstract fiber, while Foolish Records’ founder discovered the music of his new playmate through IRM Netlabel, particularly with the album “Watched Watchers” (indierockmag.bandcamp.com/album/watched-watchers) and the EP “Daily Grinders” recorded with Konejo (indierockmag.bandcamp.com/album/daily-grinders-ep), both released in 2021. From the start, when listening to this joint project whose name evokes the exploration of unmarked paths, the idea of getting off the beaten track and especially the limits that we unconsciously have imposed ourselves, we feel both in familiar territory and at the same time heading towards the unknown in a more cosmic way than expected from the two. We recognize the deep, dark and ethereal textures with subtle melodic patterns of IBG – whose sound seems to have evolved this last year from heavy and radical drone (cf. his brilliant Anteraks project along with Uburgründ from Romania) towards something more aerial, between electronica and trip-hop, and also Valgidrà’s signature beats at the crossroads of abstract groove and dry IDM as well as his sense of rhythmic vocal samples, on the title track for example. And yet, “An uninterrupted flow of images, shapes and colors…” constantly gives the sensation of tending towards unexplored horizons, somewhere between outer space and inner landscapes, an album which casts off towards an “elsewhere” made up of both sonic adventures and introspection, epic times and suspended moments, dreams and disillusionment. In a word : a gem !
