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

Jean Ray – Le Refuge

Jean Ray – Le Refuge
[at100]

Jean Ray

“Le Refuge”

Jean Ray is the sound project of pluridisciplinary artist Romain Arnette, based in Paris and initially formed in London in 2009.

Experimentation is at the heart of his creative process. He uses different instruments such as guitar, harmonica, percussions, also fields recordings to create a bank of textures and sounds that he transforms and manipulates. The superposition of these fragments combined with electronic sound sources and some software such as pool creates minimalist compositions, an enveloping sound mass where repetitive structures meet sometimes abstract rhythms.

“Le Refuge” album was composed at the end of a two-years stay in Canada, from 2017 to 2019. This album is marked by several isolation experiments in various natural environments, during his crossing of Canada from east to the west by the road.

It also reflects the gradual slowing down of time that allowed him to observe more precisely the environment in which he has evolved, and brought him to moments of deeper introspections.

All tracks recorded and mixed by Jean Ray.

Mastering by Jan Wysozky.

Pandacetamol – Driftwood

Pandacetamol – Driftwood

Pandacetamol

“Driftwood”

Lots of oldskool influences in this new album from Pandacetamol. Obviously a fan of the classic 303 sound, with additional effects to create something unique out of an immediately familiar sound. Harp at Noon has that lovely, liquid metal feel of Diskreets classic release way back at #100.

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.

Globoscuro – Morphism of a Dream (Anthology)

Globoscuro – Morphism of a Dream (Anthology)
[enrmp442]

Globoscuro

“Morphism of a Dream (Anthology)”

This anthology album was conceived by the founder of the project Emiliano Pietrini as a portrait of Globoscuro’s sonic path that crosses, through visionary flows and heterogeneous architectures, the river of time floating from 2001 to 2018 condensed into 3 CDs for a total of 42 tracks. The auditory experiences shrouded in it are ranging from dark ambient to the most heinous noise, crossing the musique concréte while circumnavigating a certain kind of abstract psychedelic as a reflection of a complex artistic personality in constant evolution and growth which never sees points of arrival but always new and eclectic departures towards its own indefinable individuality. The anthology also contains tracks composed in collaboration with other wonderful artists such as Ángel Sánchez Cervera aka Braghsdn, Cousin Silas, Sean Derrick Cooper Marquardt, Nina Maroccolo, Lutz Thuns, Øystein Jørgensen and Peter Wullen as well as interventions by other artists and friends especially in the recitative and vowels parts such as Imi Enzyme aka Mach feedback, Ilaria Fierro, Una Lee and Serena Zingoni. The overall sound approach reflects Globoscuro’s “modus operandi” by presenting compositions of concrete and analog preponderance in which instruments such as piano, guitar, bass, synth, theremin, violin and many others non-existent tools built with bare hands merge with rarefied veins of melodies (or even better anti-melodies) of digital nature. The multiple textures allow for highly dissonant threads to be interwoven into the shape of an oneiric electro-acoustic symphony built on surrealist abstractions yet so immersed into the incandescent lava of an emotional tangiblity that seems shaped by the clay of life itlself. The anthology also contains tracks never released before and originally composed for videos or poems of artists and friends Maria Korporal, Pinina Podestà, István Horkay, Maria Grazia Galatà, Isabel Pérez Del Pulgar, Roli Hope Odeka and Faraòn Meteosès.

Whalt Thisney – Thisembothis

Whalt Thisney – Thisembothis

Whalt Thisney

“Thisembothis”

The music of WHΛLT THISИEY 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.
WHΛLT THISИEY 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.
WHΛLT THISИEY mixes impressionist piano atmospheres, spoken wordcore, drone, experimental, library, hypnotic escapism music.

Simple Appareil – Simple Appareil

Simple Appareil – Simple Appareil
[D!HR-42]

Simple Appareil

“Simple Appareil”

For its 42nd release, Da ! Heard It Records is casually sending you to the skies. All of the dials are panicking, but it’s already too late; the long journey has already started for the occupant of the small bed with the white sheets featured on Elodie Moreau’s painting.
An imperceptible fluid is evaporating above his body, turning on itself, levitating softly in the sanitized-walled room.
The physical world erases itself little by little to reveal another, simpler one: From a water drop, a river of sounds forms itself, and the cricket’s beeps replace those of the machines. We progressively slide into this thickening current, wrapping the mind until it becomes a buzzing drone.
Here, Hubert Monroy and Nico Gitto imagine two long pieces that alternate between contemplative atmospheres and noisy fly aways. And on his bed, the listener awakens then, slightly more alive…

Simple Appareil, Da ! Heard It Record’s 42th release, is distributed under a Creative Commons BY-NC-ND. The album can be listened to and downloaded freely at the following link: https://www.daheardit-records.net/en/discography/42

Nortas – Aukštai II

Nortas – Aukštai II
[EEM048]

Nortas

“Aukštai II”

Aũkštai II (“Floors II”) is the second release from the series by Nortas. This record continues to explore the space between thoughts. However, instead of creating sense of isolation in relation with the first record, constant flow of thoughts in “Aukštai II” induces the development of self-awareness shield.

This album has a sense of ashes, coming from the burning memories, which are transformed into shape of soundwaves. The cold vibrations resemble the observation of lonely spaces created around people, a discoloured view of wallmarks around the mist-filled mind corridors. Synthesized echoes reflect the fragile state of collecting the sharp-edged pieces of what once was a functioning soul. The void of waves locks into tunnel of nostalgia, foreshadowing the time once spent but cannot be returned.
