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

David M. Paganin – Pointless Orbits

[earS085]

David M. Paganin

“Pointless Orbits”

This debut full-length release of original experimental electro acoustic music is perhaps best described by the very broad range of musical influences from which it draws. These vary from from old-school industrial to musique concrète and contemporary classical, from kosmische musik to minimalism and dada, from power electronics to any form of genuinely experimental music. This ultimately uplifting album explores a range of themes pertaining to human freedom in a postmodern world. Such themes include alienation, psychological repression, the existential vacuum, obsession, rage, absurdity, mourning, regret and the concept of self.

Drey Grade – ErrorTape

[Fete 15]

Drey Grade

“ErrorTape”

ErrorTape was an error created when digitising an old tape recording using an ION Tape Express Tape to MP3 converter. It transferred successfully but the tape somehow started playing again from the beginning and started to loop, but it was also very slowly creeping forward so each loop was slightly different from the previous one. The recording is exactly how it was converted, no edits or effects were used. It’s about 9 minutes long but the length of the original sound source was maybe 30 seconds or less. The original sound is from a record made at an auto recording booth.

Zebenzui González & José Guillén – Poética Ignífuga

[PT046]

Zebenzui González & José Guillén

“Poética Ignífuga”

First of all, no time should be more important than another. Fireproof Poetics is forged precisely in each and every one of those moments.

Our only aim was to sit and play in front of our instruments and let ourselves be surprised by our own sounds, using a gallant dialogue and attentive listening.

This work is the testimony of that time, which after the process of naming, is painted with that fireproof film, which from now on will protect you from the intense heat that the time lays on the past.

“Misanthropy as a Defense Mechanism”

Cupcake! – everybody’s favorite non-entity – presents its debut collection:

Misanthropy As A Defense Mechanism

Made up mostly of recently produced music (although three pieces go back to the turn of the century), Cuppy uses various methods to produce the same result: stylistic indecision.

Alejandro Albornoz – Fluctuaciones 3: Live Electronics

[pn114]

Alejandro Albornoz

“Fluctuaciones 3: Live Electronics”

In addition to the publication of the album “Fluctuaciones” (“Fluctuations”) in its physical CD version (pncd11), two online albums are included that can be accessed on the Pueblo Nuevo Netlabel website, “Fluctuaciones 2” (pn113) and “Fluctuaciones 3: Live electronics” (pn114).

In regards to these albums, the time span covered is around 12 years of production alongside the pieces for the CD, several of which were revised during 2016. Although the new ones were completed in 2015, they form part of a collection of works in course, so I understand them as related.

“Fluctuaciones 3: Live Electronics“, contains just the material that belongs in this very distinct genre, and includes 3 live improvisations (2009, 2011 and 2014). Although at first listening the materials are clearly close to the sonorities of acousmatic works in general, the treatment, especially their articulation over time, is of a different nature, due to the necessity and challenge involved in reproducing, generating and processing sound materials in real time.

The three pieces were created with laptop and synthesizers. I also consider these works to be of some value, although largely as a historical attraction in my career and they are intended to record the interest I have for this technique and aesthetics.

Peter Holy – s/t

[valeot 016]

Peter Holy

“s/t”

After many years in the making, and following an obscure lo-fi CDR release about ten years ago, this is Peter Holy’s first solo album, this time without materializing physically (the music, not Peter).

Peter plays piano and sings, accompanied by Tupolev bandmates Alexandr Vatagin (cello, recording, mixing, mastering) and David Schweighart (drums). The record consists of 9 pieces, 2 of which are re-recordings from songs from the old CDR, one is a reworking of a piece by Tupolev and one piece was also used in a song on Alexandr Vatagins album Serza. The remaining 5 pieces are completely new.

Juan Antonio Nieto – ISOLATED

[PT044]

Juan Antonio Nieto

“ISOLATED”

Isolated is the logical continuation of Static, the previous record that Plus Timbre release in 2015.
Isolated base remains in the idea of combining percussive sounds with dark drones. If for Static sounds were recorded in public spaces, in this new record all the sounds have been recorded in my own home, pens, knives, brushes, and any subceptible objet, beaten or rubbed over different surfaces, glass, wood, metal, sand in order to get a unique sound (avoiding the can add effects) this sounds combined with each other, were able to form a special feeling. Drones were created to finish adjusting topics. The result is an album that can be heard both environmental manner or in a deeper listening. The multiple sounds have been treated one by one, in EQ and volumes.

почему коммутатор молчит – топорная работа

[SCL190]

почему коммутатор молчит

“топорная работа”

About:
«Третий альбом писался довольно долго. От него отсекались куски, которые в итоге перекочевали в анонсирующие ЕР “это нужно видеть” и “машина”. Титульные песни будут на “топорной работе”, остальные держались в секрете до последнего.
Как всегда, незримо участвовал Рома Белоусов, основатель проекта, которому в день выхода альбома, 26-го ноября, исполнилось бы ровно 40 лет. Следующий альбом будет содержать песни Р. Белоусова и совместные с А.Марабяном.»

Credits:
Азат Марабян — тексты и музыка, гитара, ксилофон (4)
Валерия Марабян-Ларина — вокал (4, 10)
Евгений Литвинов — гитара, сведение и мастеринг
Михаил Климов — калимба (4)
Виктор “Мутант” Шевцов — продюсирование

In the case of “Fluctuaciones 2“, this includes 14 additional acousmatic works, all pieces composed between 2004 and 2012 and distinct from those included in the physical CD. This collection is irregular, there are several works of interesting execution and others that are either studies of timbre and structure or are exercises acousmatic composition. I have decided to publish this collection for a number of reasons: it is a personal gesture to close a stage as a sound creator, it allows me to recognize the constancy and seriousness with which I have approached composition in the genre and makes available to students, artists, researchers and interested public parties a corpus of work that could be of interest for analysis, study, and discussion.

Strunkdts – We All Star In Hell

[SE076]

Strunkdts

“We All Star In Hell”

The random moments when its remembered to press record are the junctures captured and reworked into the raw body slowly defining itself as ‘Strunkdts’.

Isolated on the western coast of Australia, ‘Strunkdts’ channels memories of rave, punk and broken hearts as eulogies for a dying and insane world. The trash, the chaos, the lies and the uncertainties that constitute a whole lot of nothing are the vessels thru which the work navigates.

A haggard, paranoid projection of romantic days past into the ever present unknown. “We all star in hell” are one shots and teasers that were abandoned rather than finished.
