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

mule cartoon

[NN_EP013_06_12]

Nick Z-gibarian

“mule cartoon”

Nick Z-gibarian is an experimental electronic sound, avant-garde art-designer from Antarctica. All tracks for the “mule cartoon” album were originally recorded on analogue handmade synth (made in 1982) and two tape recorders. The style of this project can be called as x-perimental minimal (or like this – not danceable sound mutations). The general theme of this album is inspired by scientific works in the field of molecular researches and certainly, there is a lot of irony. The video “mule cartoon und la antena mix” is available at Net Video page.

Ars Sonor & M.Nomized – Thoughts About Afterlife

[ER093]

Ars Sonor & M.Nomized

“Thoughts About Afterlife”

Be excited for this one. Short and downright beautiful, two of my favorite musicians have joined forces for a wonderful and urgent piece of ambient IDM industrial brilliance. We have Ars Sonor, who has released on Effluvia many many times, and I am happy to say that she has a wonderful ability to create powerful collaborative efforts as well as her very personal and deep solo works. She executes excellently a great philosophy where working with other artists are concerned. Like blue and yellow merging to create green, she mixes her work with other artists perfectly, creating something unique to the styles of each artist respectively. Though M.Nomized, her present collaborator, deserves equal praise, for his music, while always electronic with great rhythms and also wonderful experiments with ambiance, is very malleable and hard to place, which is why his wonderfully crafted sounds work well in collaborative work as well. Enough said, the two were meant to work together, and this piece (and its very unique and radical remix) is a manifestation of fine mastering to create something that I can say comfortably is flawless. Ars Sonor’s art is certainly a cathartic breed of music. Always using very emotional synth ambiance and samples with great rhythm. All this moves about in great time while M.Nomized adds a great and ecstatic layer of dynamic with beats that just incapacitate you. Such an excellently attentive piece. And I can say safely that the work of M.N in this piece can definitely be responsible largely for the sweeps of feeling and otherworldy sounds as well. Really a versatile musician who has that fiery passion that I’m happy to say is bustling all over the place.

Franz Rosati – Fields II

[bru_LP_18]

Franz Rosati

“Fields II”

Coarse and edgy. The second part of the sound research of Rosati developed in “Fields 2”, leaves the heart deeply flayed with games of frequencies, saturated with love and rebellion. Enter in mind with the violence of expressivity and composition that characterizes the Roman artist, vacating the hearing through a sort of “ear cleaning” process, that opens the mind and leads to a meditative listening.

Weatherglass

“Contractions For Ophelia”

Linear Obsessional Recordings is delighted to release an album by the English experimental musician Weatherglass-

“Much of the music on Contractions for Ophelia was used as background to the birth of Weatherglass’s grand-daughter, hence the title. All the music originated on acoustic instruments, including plucked and bowed acoustic guitar, lapsteel guitar, harmonium, accordion, dulcimer and found objects. Cornwall and Sykes Reservoir feature as special environmental guests, and vocals were supplied by various waterfowl and a budgie.” – Weatherglass 2012

Process Geschäftsführer – Und Indem Halbraum Gestalten

[FNet036]

Process Geschäftsführer

“Und Indem Halbraum Gestalten”

In 2008 Hardy Küster and Evgenij Dvorkin got to know each other at the legendary Avantgarde Festival in Schiphorst, Germany. Here they decided to create music together as “Process Geschäftsführer” by exchanging sonic materials via the internet.
Und Indem Halbraum Gestalten is the first album of this surrealistic collaboration. Names which have been found by chance of operation. An experience like a painting being scanned and transformed into sound or an arts installation with rooms and rooms inside of the rooms to get lost in. Newton meets new tone.
