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

Ivor Kallin – A Goose Is A Horse

[LOR029]

Ivor Kallin

“A Goose Is A Horse”

“A Goose is a Horse” finds Scottish improviser Ivor Kallin using field recordings as a basis for vocal improvisations. These range from an extended raga-like vocal workout to the surprisingly hypnotic strains of a concrete pumper, to a lilting tune on the Cal Mac Ferry, and a bizarre rant on the London Underground by his pseudonymous poetic creation Ambrosia Rasputin.

Release includes PDF booklet of notes and images.

Ivor Kallin – Vocal and Recordings. Harmonium on “Fleech, fleech, a contermashious fleech”.

Cover photograph by Rob Anderman.

Jean Frusaglia & The Amazing Moms – Untitled Untouchable Unlistenable Bastard Release

Jean Frusaglia & The Amazing Moms

“Untitled Untouchable Unlistenable Bastard Release”

Untitled Untouchable Unlistenable Bastard Release, 6 noise(?) tracks performed by Jean Frusaglia & The Amazing Moms

“Tutto cominciò in un ristorante, mentre passavo delle foto alla mia ragazza via bluetooth. Tra i dispositivi trovati dal mio telefono, risultava una delle quattro zitelle che parlavano da un’ora del loro dolore, dei loro insuccessi, dei loro ex, ecc. L’idea migliore che mi venne, fu quella di andare in bagno per fotografare Mr. Fringuello e inviarglielo.
L’impresa non riuscì, ma la scintilla era scattata: volevo osservare le reazioni della gente alla vista di un fallo arrivato per bluetooth.
[…]
Così, scelto il nick ammonitivo di Jean Frusaglia, ho iniziato a tartassare i vari Fabry, Tata89 e CiccioTiAmo che comparivano sul mio telefono.” [Jean Frusaglia]

“Deus est Lux I”

//Release Date
August 2012

Deus est Lux I is the first track of what should become, God willing, a series of tracks, perhaps similar to the peacemaker series. Deus est Lux I is a peaceful journey through a sonic soundscape, filled with calm rivers of changing harmonies. This track is a result of an eager desire to create sounds that journey to the edge of unchanging, peaceful solitude.

1 John 1:5 “This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.”

The night before the performance I will lay in a part of the city a recording magnetic tape with no human presence there, (“retrocasuality”). During my performance a friend of mine will send me the nocturnal recorded files, unknowed for me, that I will manipolate with softwares. I will use stringed instruments from western tradition (cello) and eastern tradition like “esraj” together will interact with the rest of the sounds, presences tryng to destabilizing and causing a derangment with the digital dimension. The concert-performance wants to be a research and an evidentiation of the metaphysical sound, of the microsounds and its effects on the human perception and and inspired to the work of: Leif Elggren (Elgaland-Vargaland) C.M.

Steve Moyes – Gardening

[LOR023]

Steve Moyes

“Gardening”

Gardening is a collection of solo acoustic guitar improvisations, performed and recorded by Steve Moyes in the back garden at his home in Gillingham, Kent, England, during the Spring of 2012.

Equipment used: 2 acoustic guitars (one of which is broken), baby knife, hand-held mini fan, 45 rpm record (A Chill At Dawn by Barney Bigard and his Orchestra). Occasionally both guitars were played at once (one with each hand).

“I don’t consider myself either an acoustic guitarist or a gardener. When Richard Sanderson suggested I record an acoustic guitar album for Linear Obsessional, I came up with the idea of recording outdoors, in an attempt to inject a greater variety of sounds into the recordings. It also gave me an excuse to be out in my garden, which I like, but not have to feel that I should be lawnmowing, weeding, or pruning, which I don’t. Thank you Richard.

Also, thanks to Alan Clark of Alan Clark Joinery for providing some of the more interesting ambient sounds on the recordings. More interesting, at least, than the pigeons. Sometimes I wish the pigeons would just shut up.” – Steve Moyes

Download comes with 12 page A5 booklet of photographs and notes.

…. samples and field recordings taken from his own mobile realm of eperience are processed and alienated with virtuosity. which results in soundscapes through which the audience can travel, searching for the familiar und the unfamiliar….
