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.

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

“mgnetic”

abstract experimental music, kind of incomprehensibility and elusiveness of the moment captured in repetition which is in fact a difference. dramatic moment of catching a reasonable point within infinitely flowing chaotic existence.

João Reis – Passeio no Parque

[mi283]

João Reis

“Passeio no Parque”

If unconventional 2020 had a soundtrack, this album would be a perfect match. Passeio no Parque sounds like a lighthearted invitation made out of levity, but the 15 songs that the album entails, share the same exasperated sound that leaves little or no room for casual.

With an extremely visual hearing, it strikes all five senses. As the first note hits, we are engulfed by the feeling that we are standing on the precipice of something extraordinary. As if a cinematic filter was applied to our daily lives, adding a profound meaning to the most common situation.

Cheat Code: we recommend listening to it with your eyes closed and following – without hesitation – the tour to another dimension that insists on giving us.

Runi Graph – For I know that the view of a tree is not subjective

Runi Graph – For I know that the view of a tree is not subjective
[mhrk266]

Runi Graph

“For I know that the view of a tree is not subjective”

“I address this to you, to the one who thinks on fake grounds.
I become calmer…
for I know that the view of a tree is not subjective,
Because a tree is a tree.
It cleanses my lungs from the corporate air that you emit.
I sit here, watching the stream of your hunger.
No basis, no center.
You said ‘subjective’,
I said ‘you turn a blind eye’,
You thought ‘he doesn’t get it’
I thought ‘What a painful life when you live it as an alibi’
No progress,
No basis, No Center
No progress,
Just peevishness and hunger.
The level of your assumptions is out of control
You still carry on thinking that I cannot see behind your wall.
You still carry on thinking, You still carry on thinking
The level of your assumptions is out of control.
It’s sky high, It’s sky high,
You’re brilliant.”

SENYAWA – Alkisah Dikisahkan

SENYAWA – Alkisah Dikisahkan
[YESNO 099]

SENYAWA

“Alkisah Dikisahkan”

2020 is not only marked by the coronavirus pandemic. It was stormed by thousands of natural disasters and human rights violations that had started decades earlier. 2020 is the peak of human greed and vanity which is the result of the capitalistic culture. The only way to deal with this is to open ourselves up to cooperate with one another. It looks simple if you are a utopian. The tradition to organise a small scale group with intensive multiple proxies is very necessary for the welfare of the people. Collective method like this must be carried out with a slow, long process, and requires a lot of courage because it will be faced with the big systems that does not want to share their benefits.

In 2019, Senyawa began to initiate a business unit to independently face the challenges of its economic sustainability called Senyawa Mandiri. This unit is also designed to reduce dependence on giant corporate products. As time went on, Senyawa Mandiri developed into a political stance for Senyawa themselve. It is no longer Rully Shabara and Wukir Suryadi. It was transformed into an open and egalitarian multi-entity.

During the coronavirus pandemic, Senyawa became increasingly convinced that the centralization of the art ecosystem and its industry was no longer relevant to the community. Senyawa new album, titled Alkisah, is a social tool that wants to break down the centers of the current arogant ecosystems. Alkisah consists of 8 songs and a collective system across cultures and continents. It was mixed and bred with 44 music labels and hundreds of musicians around the world.

As a supporter of Senyawa since 2010 and as a label that encourages an open-culture movement, Yes No Wave Music takes part in Alkisah module by releasing the album’s stem tracks provided for everyone to participate in reproducing the album. This stem album is accompanied by a remix sets titled Alkisah Dikisah. We invited 8 musicians: Wahono (Jakarta), Nursalim Yadi Anugerah (Pontianak), Prontaxan (Yogyakarta), Gabber Modus Operandi (Denpasar), Y-DRA (Yogyakarta), Pisitakun (Bangkok) and Slikback (Nairobi). Every remix is ​​a free interpretation and artistic speculation of impossibilities to giving birth the art decentralization mutations.

EidosCognitio – A Pathetic Lounge Act
[ET131]

EidosCognitio

“A Pathetic Lounge Act”

eidoscognitio is Alejandro Betancourt, an electroacoustic performer from Venezuela. Alejandro was born in Barquisimeto, Lara and started to compose, play and perform live on his early 30΄s. In his work he tends to explore the richness and the always interesting evolving atmospheres of all soundscapes he can get: Field recordings, sound libraries and synthesizer/sampler generated ones.

His work is heavily influenced by ambient music. He rarely uses rhythm loops, although he creates the sense of a beat using a virtual effect plug-in that allows him to loop a certain fragment of his performance.
Etched Traumas is happy to release the third work of eidoscognitio titled ‘A Pathetic Lounge Act‘.

Johann Mazé & Jihem Rita – Autre Brousse
[D​!​HR​-​48]

Johann Mazé & Jihem Rita

“Autre Brousse”

For its 48th release, Da ! Heard It Records takes a leak into the unknown.

On the sleeve picture, conceptualized by Pia-Mélissa Laroche, Johann Mazé chooses the bag race to cross what seems to be a rural garden. In simple terms, he thus shows the listener the step to follow: one must jump with feet together in this eccentric universe with blurry borders, as if out of some dream, at the very place where a sleepy memory weaves strange links among things.
Here, enigmatic voices escape a house without walls into which one enters through the roof; improbable ritualistic rhythms form alternately the outlet of an imaginary tribe or a parade of a cannibalistic Yellow Jackets’ batucada; elsewhere, a wobbly walz lulls the ear with soft dissonances; farther still, a piano turns off in the night, a harmonica rises, a metronome sets the tone of a charade of diverse and catchy percussions…
Like an exquisite cadaver on a piece of paper that we unfold little by little, each new piece of the puzzle opens the door onto an unexpected territory. Passing from one thumbnail to the next though, the atmospheres answer each other with a clever sonorous montage, a patchwork of field recordings, of sonorous poetry… more

Mathieu St-Pierre – Online Messages in Cardboard Boxes

Mathieu St-Pierre – Online Messages in Cardboard Boxes
[mhrk263]

Mathieu St-Pierre

“Online Messages in Cardboard Boxes”

Following the steps of his debut album “These Elephants”, Mathieu St-Pierre re-engages with the concept of cyberspace as a means to explore his ambient and drone compositional approaches via the pool of data that is the internet.

As a result, his second album and Mahorka debut “Online Messages in Cardboard Boxes” was constructed solely by scavenging the net for sound textures and later altering and arranging them to create unique soundscapes. So as much as there was lots of time spent designing the compositions, an at least equal amount of time was involved in the research phase. “Online Messages in Cardboard Boxes” is a voyage beyond the keyboard, the monitor and the WWW, it takes us on a trip from the busy streets of a virtual metropolis to the melted ruins of a broken e-map. Each track was conceived as a gateway to the cloud of our mind.
