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

Jazzaria – Art Was Attempted

Jazzaria

“Art Was Attempted”

“This will be our reply to violence: to make music more intensely, more beautifully, more devotedly than ever before.”

So it goes.

So *something* goes. For now – until it becomes something else. Yet, still – the same.

Featuring bass clarinet, and breathing.

Jazzaria – The Practiced Tone and the Drop of Blood

Jazzaria

“The Practiced Tone and the Drop of Blood”

Periodically, things happen. The specifics depend upon whom they are happening to. Regardless, it can be understood as the union of two sets – that which is expected, and that which is not.

The expected is best met with preparation – practice makes perfect, when a thing can be practiced.

The unexpected requires something else – it asks of us a certain height. To achieve what we can, and to go beyond it, even – especially – imperfectly.

Featuring clarinet.

Jazzaria – Local Optima

Jazzaria

“Local Optima”

Local optima aren’t – plurality runs counter to true highs. Yet such sweet spots are satisfying nonetheless, and worth indulging in from time to time. Ideals, subjective or otherwise, are still a matter of perspective, and benefit from such reflection.

Featuring electric keys and effects.

Jazzaria – Reverb Hides All Sins

Jazzaria

“Reverb Hides All Sins”

Things – even great things – are imperfect. But, when considered in context, and in space, they can still be appreciated. Reflections on surfaces, delayed over time, give rise to a variety of perceptions. By seeing the signal in the noise generated by the signal, we acknowledge the signal for both what it is and what it can be.

Featuring flute and effects.

Jazzaria – A Very Particular Arrangement of Bytes

Jazzaria

“A Very Particular Arrangement of Bytes”

A physical device, with keys pushing hammers via levers, was utilized. The relative position and velocity of the hammers was measured via optical sensors, digitally recorded, and wirelessly transmitted. These numerical records were reconstituted via software and samples of previously recorded audio – more numbers.

You are most likely hearing the result after it has been stored and transmitted several more times, and used to trigger very particular vibrations of air molecules via whatever digital audio hardware you have available. Finally, your ear receives those vibrations and converts it back into electrical signals, which are interpreted by your brain in a process that is still largely inscrutable.

You imagine the experience as acoustic, an organic occurrence of natural sound. But the organic experience only happened once, and we are left with this artifact – a very particular arrangement of bytes.

Featuring improvised piano, mediated via many bytes.

rADio eNd – Mantra Wave

[LCNLP229]

rADio eNd

“Mantra Wave”

The Necrophile Hummingbird netlabel presents Mantra Wave by rADio eNd

“Trance music for tribal music lovers.”

This album is just a solo improvisation recorded at the Cave Haven (Foucherans) in 2022.
I would have enjoyed that someone upgraded or transformed it, but maybe it wasn’t necessary.
Sometimes the raw thread is the real fabric.

I coined the term “Mantra Wave” with this album but already in previous albums I was using it when talking about to keep the whole improvisation instead to reduce it to the essential.
I won’t define it here — you can sense it yourself.
Since my first steps with CorteX, I’ve been trying to create psycho-active music more inspiring than the usual standards.
Since the Yoshiwaku shamanoise tracks, I’ve focused on the power of repetition to carry the listener into trance.
Since Multiple Personality 3, with its overlong ritual tracks, we left behind the notion of “standard tracks” to explore durations usually found only in instrumental minimalism, serial music, or certain techno constellations.

Was rADio eNd simply listening to the Earth, amplifying her voice?

Turn off your brain.
Let the wave wake your soul.

I made the artwork without AI, but disliked it because it looked too much like something made by an AI.
So I asked an AI to update it as if it had been made by a human… Well… Then I only kept the statue to edit my artwork.
The circle closes.

Special thanks to the creator of the Longo dance for the Mbouiiiii!!!!! concept — a joyful reminder that one can free body and mind through vibration, breath, and surprise.

About healers, guides, and those who teach freedom

In France, more than ever, many people claim to heal everything with countless techniques, generally for money.
Some may offer better listening than doctors trapped in the machinery of big pharma — doctors who, despite their knowledge, can truly resolve only part of the world’s illnesses.

But many “healers” are only selling illusions, playing with people’s hopes, offering dependence instead of autonomy.

Fortunately, some too much rare ones genuinely take care.
They show not how to rely on them, but how to stand on one’s own feet.
They guide the person back to their own inner tools — until the guide is no longer needed.

This album is dedicated to those who do not heal minds and bodies, nor fix energies,
but who teach each person how to do it themselves…
and to all those who learn alone, quietly, without any master.

Francisco Ali-Brouchoud + Óscar Santis – Supervolcán

[pn246]

Francisco Ali-Brouchoud + Óscar Santis

“Supervolcán”

Supervolcano: An Eruption of Trans-Andean Noise

This record marks an encounter as spontaneous as it is unexpected between two seasoned figures of the Chilean and Argentine sound scenes. Both Óscar Santis and Francisco Ali-Brouchoud have long contributed—almost militantly, through multiple projects—to these niche communities devoted to experimentation and noise, rooted on either side of the Andes, with Valparaíso and Buenos Aires as their epicenters.

The material on this album stands as a clear testament to this ongoing crusade for two very specific reasons: first, it represents the duo’s only performance to date; and second, it was captured live at Estudio Libres, with a small audience sharing the recording space alongside the performers.

These circumstances highlight the importance of intuition, adrenaline, chance, synergy, and deep listening as key elements shaping the outcome of such experiences. Their presence is felt in the atmosphere of introspective tension, suffocating suspense, and explosive catharsis that punctuate the various moments of this free improvisation—later segmented into a series of tracks for this release.

The album title, “Supervolcán”, as well as those of each piece, conceptually allude to the planet’s major volcanic phenomena, particularly so-called “supervolcanoes”: which possess a magma chamber a thousand times larger than that of a conventional volcano and therefore produce gigantic eruptions capable of radically altering the environment where they occur. The sessions evoke fascinating sonic images linked to these geological beasts, which lie semi-dormant along the great Pacific Ring of Fire. The timbral characteristics and frequency range incorporated thus allow them to be easily associated with imagined events such as melting tectonic plates, volcanic radiation, pressurized geysers, rivers of boiling lava, the emission of flammable gases; or even, why not, drilling with heavy machinery, open-pit mega-mining, an environmental disaster in the Andean mountain range, or a hallucination caused by lithium fever.

Andy Nechaevsky – silent night, almost no bombs

Andy Nechaevsky

“silent night, almost no bombs”

Composed during the night air raids. Andy would simply send his loved one off to sleep after the air raid sirens stopped, then go to his studio to record yet another not-so-jolly lullaby.

This album is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. It captures the complex emotions and experiences of those living through war, and how they find solace and beauty in the midst of chaos. The kalimba, with its gentle, soothing tones, serves as a beacon of hope and comfort in these dark times.
