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

Tension Co – “El Olvido”

Tension Co – “El Olvido”

Tension Co

“El Olvido”

El Olvido, the fourth work of Tension Co. was recorded and mastered in the Laboratory
Intr: Muros. (Seville) in June 2012, and the first without the presence of Miriam Blanch, who earlier this year left the group temporarily for work purposes. It is his darkest work and personal, and a certain melancholy aftertaste to date. It is a product of a sono-emotional time in recent past that perhaps there were more shadows than lights, although the latter shone with sufficient strength to move forward and make this work.
Enter field recordings, a cello made ​​Isabel Garcia ‘Drunkenstrings’ and others in the Doñana National Park with Miriam and Juan Carlos Blanch White in the piece’s title track and ‘Duna’.

Coaxil – Coaxil

[NN_LP034_12_12]

Coaxil

“Coaxil”

Coaxil is an audio-visual project successfully debuted in the spring of 2009 at the international festival of electronic music and visual arts “Electro-Mechanica” (St. Petersburg, Russia). All the perfomances are based on a principle of spontaneous improvisation: pulsation of drum machines, buzz of the synthesizers, improvised voice parts, dynamic video projections are often intertwined in the most intricate and unexpected ways.

Bruce Hamilton – Drams

[LOR034]

Bruce Hamilton

“Drams”

Linear Obsessional is excited to present this extraordinary collection of evocative and hallucinogenic works by the US composer Bruce Hamilton.

“Drams is a collection of sound works held together by connections to notions of dreaming. While many of the pieces are, in a sense, ambient, whether from the presence of drones or use of field recordings, my intent was more to create a kind of animated presence- a surreal and vivid soundscape.

Some of these works were the result of participation in online events with the Society for Shorty New Music and ImprovFriday (now Sound-In); in some cases the events had themes such as âdreamsâ or âstoriesâ, or presented a given image to provoke a sonic reaction. Other tracks were simply improvisations that became compositions through editing, processing, and mixing. Some pieces explore microtonality, some are primarily instrumental in nature, and some are essentially acousmatic vignettes. Headphone listening is recommended”

10 Earth vs Heaven (ft Black Saturn)
11 Outro (Vladimir Mayakovsky)

“Third album by Cold Metal Future on the NKS and probably the best.
A very recognizable sound, rough, ambient & melodic. A better rhythmic section made of weird amen breaks & drum’n’bass beats, cold synth lines, piano & bass guitar. Once again CMF show us a great interest for russian avant-garde born about 100 years ago : 6 trax contain samples taken from russian poetry made in the pre & early sovietic era. All about utopia & futurism. But CMF can turn to west : Dod Beverte & Black Saturn are 2 old CMF collaborators from the US, back again here.
East vs west, poetry vs electronic music , earth vs heaven, utopia vs capitalist world order, same old stories for our present and future.”

Jean Montag – Unquiet

[058]

Jean Montag

“Unquiet”

Considering that for Jean Montag a very tasty meal has to be croquettes (mainly) we are going to use them as a metaphor. We might say that this “Unquiet”, that he kindly delivered to our catalogue, is a very nicely baked couple of croquettes. Two croquettes full of different ingredients, mushed up, processed sounds and all sorts of scenarios and scenes were to get lost and found. On every bite we discover a new space a new environment. Before we loose the taste of the last bite we are already on the next, swallowing what Montag has prepared for us.

Finally this release, in it’s shape of a sonic “tapa”, is a very interesting work because it doesn’t lasts for too long (something I’m worried all the time with) but still, with this short time space he is able to surprise the listener at every step and present a complex work in terms of sound design and composition that lead me to desserts already missing what I have ate.

TRITON – open field 2#

[NN_LP031_11_12]

TRITON

“open field 2#”

Third album with ambient and the noise sounds, made with open source softs like audacity and Pure Dated, unpublished works of older productions. Polymorphic and complex, this often dark universe declines in two big movements. Aquatic TritoNn calms down comes the MutaNn fire power and apocalyptic seeings, according to albums. Mathieu Bec, ex punk drummer, having had the opportunity to share two festivals of innovative music, “Premiers baisers” in Vigan ( Gard) and FMIT to Teyran ( Hérault) in France felt finally ready to participate in projects of bigger scale as “Project Fukushima” big tribute to the victims of the nuclear disaster. “Meanwhile, in Fukushima …” is a sound collaborative project led in Fukushima. With the support and partnership of INA GRM (French national institute of audio visual – Research Music Group) and France Musique (French national public music radio), the journal Droits de Cité, creative radio webSYNradio, Radio Campus Bruxelles, Radio Sonic (festival City Sonic, Bruxelles) and multimedia laboratory APO33. Shortly after the disaster of Fukushima Daishi, a Japanese artist group has gathered around the figure of Otomo Yoshihide. A project is born early, Fukushima Project!, a call for creation that has led to a festival, located in Fukushima, and a series of events around the world (London, New York, Bangkok, Seoul, Singapore , Paris …). I was honored to work in conjunction with Otomo Yoshihide and John Zorn’s to one of these events at The Stone, New York. On August 15, 2011, WebSYNradio, Internet radio that I created and manage, has broadcast live from The Stone bringing a tray of world-renowned musicians. Following this festival, webSYNradio wished to remain available to the project Fukushima! and continue to «act» with a new project for 2012: «Meanwhile, in Fukushima …»

MutaNn is working on a brand new project with Nour a woman who plays Oud traditionnal instrument.

[NN_LP032_11_12]

:X.M.M.:

“Werk Op. 31”

This is the second release by :. X . M . M .: on Nostress Netlabel. The album is a one-piece composition. This time :. Mehtalahz .: takes you through a journey of acoustic and noisy, drone landscapes. Longlasting, and melodies on the edge, makes this as much a hypnotic album as it is beautified with strange melodies from other planes. The “deepsounding” trademark by :. X . M . M .: is notably recognized. With the noisy background pounding with feel of industry and darkness, it gives us a landscape of futuristic doom, saved by the acoustic side of :. Mehtalahz .: Still, the deepsounding rhythms is hectic, but effective and gives us a ecstatic feeling of everlasting ceremony dances. Lay back, close your eyes, yet another time for the journey through “Werk Op. 31” by :. X . M . M .: Nostress, only love for sounds, klang and sabda.

Baby – Near Wanstonia

[LOR032]

Baby

“Near Wanstonia”

Recorded by a stretch of the A12, built in east London in the 1990s, ‘Near Wanstonia’ is an atmospheric journey, a distillation of a rich variety of sounds.

Almost twenty years ago, large scale protests against the construction of the road were ignored and Wanstonia was one of several ‘free states’ set up by occupying environmental activists along the proposed route.

The album, although at times resonant of sadness felt, is also a resilient, optimistic and an occasionally humorous expression of sonic life by the fast lane.

Previously known as Vole and ViV, the group’s third release is also a photographic exhibition with the recordings

Release includes PDF Booklet of notes and photographs.

Miquel Parera Jaques – nxVacuity001

[nxVacuity001]

Miquel Parera Jaques

“nxVacuity001”

[eng] Vacuity.

Sometimes, on the 12th of the month I go to church. It is a small hermitage on a mountain who dances with the wind howling at sunset and dance with birdsong at dawn. It was built 800 years ago the men to meet his God, to speak and listen, for hope …

I can not be like them.

I’ve tried, I’ve searched, far as I can, the corners of my psyche. I did it with reason and unreason; I’ve asked myself and I asked the world, trees, people …

But I can not be like them.

I envy them, they still have a loving father even after his death.

I can not be like them and, despite everything, I’ve seen …

It is a mystery that I can not comprehend, as a stimulus below the threshold of perception, like a ultrasonic melody of peace. It’s a secret, do not know what is. But I know that the road leading to it is called transcendence and living in the palace of emptiness. I know it only when you stop being myself, when I die really, I can see it.

Perhaps, in the final analysis, we all see the same thing but interpret it in different ways. So, some on 12th, I go to church and talk to her in the language without words until one day I respond with the music without sound.

– Technical Information.

The system is programmed to control a church organ,via MIDI, with a computer. The computer control is a
livecoding improvisation with the SuperCollider programming language. Emphasis on semi-deterministic and algorithmic processes is achieved that once saved improvisation code as a function, can be automatically performed by the computer and the results are significantly different.

For this” release”, in the absence of a church organ, I used the excellent software Aeolus of Fons Adriaensen.

digi g’alessio – Cirque de Poche

[SOSLP044]

digi g’alessio

“Cirque de Poche”

Genius and intemperance. The attitude of whom is without rules. Losing yourself among Digi G’Alessio’s beats is just an illusion. Because, when you’ve finished to listening to him, you realize where the music is aheading. A music therapy.
The Tuscany-based artist flies away through the brand new release by the indie net-label Sostanze Records. We don’t get what he is doing, what he has in mind.
Anyway, there’s the strong feeling that what he’s doing is the closest future that we can play loud in our headphones. In “Cirque de Poche”, you get into a circus made up of beats produced for each character, from the aerialist to the magician, from the clown to the acrobat. It’s useless to talk about music styles when the talent creates sounds out of any context. Digi gets fun and smiles while he works. You realize that he’s on another side. Tightrope walker.

“MOOORE FAAYAAAAA… DUBSTEPPAAAAAAAAAAAZ !!!
GlitchSteppa is a 4 hands project by Broken Toy and Ras Nando from Toulouse/ France. Far from being a newcomer, Broken Toy took part in the birth of breakcore in our pink city 8-10 years ago. He was in the Martel en tête team alongside GVK, Nevroz or Fuel In Sekt to name a few. Most of them went north but BT followed his activities in Toulouse on Radio FMR & in clubs as a dj. He played live in different places like Toulouse, Bruxelles, Vienna or New-York and made albums or eps on Sociopath Recordings and his own structure : Subeclectic Records. Ras Nando is a percussionist and electrodub producer.
Both guys like dubstep but are not soldiers or fashionistas. They mixed their forces to create a pure electroblend from roots to break glitch, influenced by Lee Scratch Perry & The Bug, Autechre & Ultraviolence.
Futuristic dub original.”
