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

Calles de Santiago – A las cacerolas

Calles de Santiago – A las cacerolas

Calles de Santiago

“A las cacerolas”

En octubre de 2019 se generó un estallido social en Santiago, a partir del alza de los pasajes de Metro. Primero fueron los estudiantes secundarios, con las evasiones masivas a este medio de transporte. La represión del gobierno fue creciendo, hasta que un día viernes la crisis estalló. El cierre del tren subterráneo generó que toda la población de Santiago se desbordara a las calles y generara protestas espontáneas y descentralizadas. Sin líderes, sin caudillos, las masas se tomaron las esquinas con barricadas y cacerolas, con la intención de hacerse oír. El gobierno y sus oídos sordos, con sus acciones autoritarias y patriarcales, reprimió fervientemente las acciones de protesta, llamando a estado de emergencia, entregándole el poder a los militares.

El pueblo no se asustó, y esta acción convocó al resto del país a sumarse a la batalla por una vida digna, por el fin del saqueo económico y medioambiental, contra la precarización de la salud, el trabajo y las personas, mientras el sector privilegiado se dedica a manipular los medios de información, a alimentar al gran monstruo del espectáculo, y a intentar hacer enfrentar a la gente contra la gente.

Hoy, 22 de octubre, las protestas no cesan, en medio de un toque de queda publicamos estos registros, como constancia y pequeño sample de la sonoridad que existe en Santiago en estos días, que habla también de lo que sucede en Valdivia, Concepción, Antofagasta, Valparaíso, Temuco, Puerto Montt, Rancagua, y en muchos pueblos más pequeños pero igualmente afectados por la avaricia y el desdén de una clase política al servicio del neoliberalismo.

Los cacerolazos se han convertido en la forma de protesta en las calles o en el interior de las casas, que reverbera por la ciudad, se multiplica y descentraliza, envolviendo a una ciudad, a un país, y que esperamos envuelva también a toda latinoamérica.

¡A las cacerolas!

The Cherry Blues Project – On the Beach

The Cherry Blues Project – On the Beach
[NN_LP080_12_19]

The Cherry Blues Project

“On the Beach”

Debut in Nostress Netlabel with the digit album “On the Beach” released in the festive month as far as possible from the theme of artistic work. The Cherry Blues Project is an experimental band of Argentine music and sound art formed in 2001. It consists of two original members who use the pseudonyms Cherry and Blues. The “process” is mainly based on playing and listening carefully to the sounds of the reality. The essential points are the creation of soundscapes and the permanent saving of their auditory memory, sometimes registering on some discs in everyday situations. Each album represents a certain stage. In their huge discography there is the presence of humor, noise, everyday life, play, performance, free experiences, ridiculous, absurd, silent, things that should not be taken seriously, lies, satires, unattainable things, champions of talent, integrity and homogeneity concepts, ideas developed up to the concretion, lack of respect for the ears of others, sound terrorism, contemplations of life, skepticism and at the same time religiosity, contradictions, electricity, disconnection, calm, chaos, free time, conversations and dialogues, violence , etc. Their research is not just about the “musical” side, but they try to generate some kind of reaction in the person who listens to them. One of their influences is the Fluxus movement. This means that the albums must not simply be appreciated for sound, but also by all the work that goes from design to its conception, in some conceptual cases. The Cherry Blues Project is a project born of the visual arts, not the interest in “music” itself, which is why they have great influences or “connections” with the Fluxus movement.

j/j – j/j

j/j – j/j
[gal 0270]

j/j

“j/j”

j/j is a sound work developed by Sydney based artist Jeremy Hegge from a series of materials collected in different natural areas of Queensland, Australia. All tracks – based on field recordings – are site-specific works related with the concept of meditative listening within ecologically complex places, where it’s possible to hear fleeting traces of human activity in a fully nature-dominated soundscape.
The author lead the audience to immerse in a really rich sonic universe through eleven high quality recording pieces, in which the reconstruction of the space and the atmosphere of the sites is totally impressive. All the elements in this caleidoscopic and magnetic sonic milieu are vivid, intense and demanding, challenging the listeners to reflect upon the way we all relate with natural environments through our senses, in an time when the relationship with landscape, soundscape and territory is deeply and dramatically changing.

Notes from the artist after 2 months apart my partner and i met in queensland and travelled into the outback.

Dave Wesley – Fourth Wall

Dave Wesley – Fourth Wall

Dave Wesley

“Fourth Wall”

Dave Wesley’s full length aural autobiography covering the last half of 2018, based on subconscious peripheral sonic imagery… the blurry content that selective perception ignores.

What others are saying:

“Listening to this music, I kind of feel like I am a replicant in the rain of Bladerunner, hand twitching as I search for some dry room away from the lights and the wind, knowing I am going to die soon but wanting the heat of the room just the same, just for a passing moment.”
– Steve Santineau

“Just an amazing album…I especially like Tracks 1, 9, 10, 13… (Like Controlled Bleeding meets Ryuichi Sakamoto’s OUT OF NOISE in a film by David Lynch)”.
– David Agasi

Laura Cavan – Unsuspicious

Laura Cavan – Unsuspicious
[Eg0_208]

Laura Cavan

“Unsuspicious”

Laura Cavan is a french visual artist who also works with sounds, and especially natural ones like in her first album Unsuspicious. This project started in 2016 when Laura Cavan was studying arts in Marseille and created an installation using pieces of wood found in the area of her school (which is located close to a forest). The insertion of contact microphones in these pieces of woods allowed to transmit small vibrations emitted by its inhabitants : termites. The resulting sounds were sent in real time through headphones for the installation’s visitors.

Early 2019, some of these sounds have been selected, edited and mixed by Kecap Tuyul in for the realisation of this album. Different, light treatments (mostly equalization) have been applied to the orginal tracks, without trying to hide the recorder’s hiss nor other unwanted sounds, but rather with the aim of letting appear all aspects of the recordings in an organic way. The results don’t pretend to give an accurate reproduction of termit’s sound but should rather be considered like sound pieces where the recording technology is a part of the material and not a transparent medium. As a sequel of this release, Kecap Tuyul is currently working on tracks mixing electronic sounds with Laura Cavan’s recordings.

The artwork is made of a selection of Laura Cavan’s drawings of these wood pieces which that were created for her installation.

Federico Schumacher – Lo Inquietante
[pndvd02]

Federico Schumacher

“Lo Inquietante”

(The Acousmatic Musical Experience & The Uncanny)
Federico Schumacher Ratti (Editor)By Miguel Vera-Cifras.

The work we are presenting today is part of a process of research, creation and listening carried out by a team of researchers, collaborators, and auditors, under the direction of the faculty of Psychology at the Universidad Diego Portales. An initiative that involved numerous people, including those who ultimately worked on the final design of the written document, its translation into English, and on the features that extend this process beyond the text.

This represents an interdisciplinary work, published under a Creative Commons license, whose hybrid imprint includes a book, a recording, and a web presence. Three channels of action and circulation mutually nourish one other. A printed book, also in PDF digital version. A CD featuring the musical creation entitled “Lo Inquietante” (The Uncanny) by Federico Schumacher, who also serves as a researcher and editor of the book. And, finally, a playlist of acousmatic musical pieces by the same author, uploaded to the Pueblo Nuevo website, where they can be visited in a manner that is personalized and free. Hence, there are three ways in which the reader, listener and navigator are summoned jointly to read, listen and participate, either by introducing themselves to the theoretical discussions, by listening to the accompanying musical creation, or by immersing themselves freely in the playlist that extends the format of the book to unprecedented reconfigurations yet to come…

Das All – Allbum

Das All – Allbum
[GRUWAVFFD 001]

Das All

“Allbum”

Last summer, my former bandmate asked me to process and glue his field shots, which he had taken during the holidays in Croatia. I liked the idea so much that I threw myself into this adventure and did all kinds of field shots with my old Nokia Classic 2300. With the material of Mathias and myself, I ventured into a new universe. This resulted in this over 2 hours long work, which should correspond to a timeless time capsule. This was my first work in this direction and it was a lot of fun, although a lot of time was taken.

>From outward journey to stay to return, this album breaks down a bit of modern history and does not leave much room for distraction. In the first chapter, the listener soon notices that the technician had forgotten to turn off his iPhone after field recording and most likely fell asleep. Sometimes one hears his breath, which fits in calmly on the whole chapter. Chapters 2 and 3 were then deliberately introduced as hearty life sketches and give the album a true consciousness.

Let yourself be abducted into a world full of appreciation.
