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

Just some improvisations along with different iPad apps … or myself.

Likewise, he works with performers, authors and theaters as a musician and a composer. The artist’s approach is shaped by his 30 years’ experience in improvised music.

Mescalibur – The Dark Side Of The Wonderland
[LCN109]

Mescalibur

“The Dark Side Of The Wonderland”

The necrophile hummingbird & Hamfuggi Records present a marvellous journey on the Dark Side Of Wonderland by Mescalibur.
Alice trip has been revisited many time, from the Jan Švankmajer’s Alice to the Jeff Noon’s Vurt… it’s always very psychedelic… but this time it’s the dark side… then perhaps the rabbit hole is actually more looking like Norman Spinrad LSD description in The Mind Game… you know like watching inside a bubble with the whole surface made in mirror. Some call also this kind of bubble a Eye Ball. I don’t know where you are know but take care, next to listen this, perhaps you will think that you are still in the same dimension… but I really don’t know… Sometime things are not what they seems. I wouldn’t spoil the end of your travel.

Mescalibur is here http://mescalibur.fr/ perhaps… the only one who knows that kind of answers.

303 – True Time

303 – True Time
[JAM008]

303

“True Time”

We met online on the basis of interest in non-standard electronic music its production and distribution.

Trio 303 as an improvisational gang has formed in St. Petersburg, where the participants met on the pretext of the apartment renovation around 2011. The guys devoted all possible time to getting to know local musicians, organizing performance parties and exploring the environment.

In the process of renovation, sound equipment appeared in the flat in the form of a subwoofer amp from a PC system 5.1 and the Radiotehnika S30 speaker. That how we started to improvise in a free style using mostly computers.

We do this constantly and periodically to this day, slightly changing the composition of the participants. Today we are happy to present our a new album.

Attention! illocanblo (6,7), Nishimaru (8) and Potential DifferenSe (9) participated in several jams. Thank you.

entropija – genealogija A: 2017-2018
[EEM054]

entropija

“genealogija A: 2017-2018”

The first part of a retrospective collection, documenting live concert excerpts and private experiments between October 2017 and June 2018. Dynamic, rhythmically active, contrasting motifs dominate the album, emanating shades of IDM, glich, and post-industrial music. Beats and tonalities assemble, clash together and disintegrate, giving way to the next cycle of entropic interactions. The album attempts to construct a sonic narrative from disparate recordings, recontextualizing them into a new whole, but retaining the eclectic nature of entropija‘s live performance.

Seuil Optique – Les Habitants

Seuil Optique – Les Habitants
[Eg0_228]

Seuil Optique

“Les Habitants”

Seuil Optique, duo of Sig Valax and Nicolas Tourney, offers a unique experience of listening to music in the dark. Immersing the stage and the public in constant darkness, Seuil Optique creates soundscapes where electronic transmissions, acousmatic landscapes and refined drones intersect. By jostling the boundaries between listening, blind manipulation of machines and immersive experience offered to the audience, the two musicians explore new sound tracks, in permanent dialogue with hybrid musicalities and the practice of singular instruments: persephone, field recording, electro-acoustic devices, matrices and samples.
On stage, they use deliberately “open” improvisation strategies and defeat the boundaries between manipulating machines in the dark, harmonics tinged with noise-producing materials and the “eyes closed” hearing experience offered to the public.

Seuil Optique’s third album, Les Habitants, focuses on the practice of electronic improvisation. Recorded in three days and three nights, in Paris, in total darkness, Les Habitants aims to be a place of recognition of gesture as a creative act. No preparation beforehand, no benchmark, no intro or climax, only the interaction between two ways of producing spectral imprints. In this sound dialogue, electronics are the vector of total sincerity: the inhabitants target the listener, bringing them to live the experience of the moment that guides the “non-idiomatic” music of Seuil Optique, in which each sound, each transmitted waveform is dedicated to the inhabitants of the present.

Cyff Gwawd – Cyff Gwawd

Cyff Gwawd – Cyff Gwawd

Cyff Gwawd

“Cyff Gwawd”

Cyff Gwawd is Stuart Estell, a piano, and a couple of barely-functional tape machines. The project draws on his love of Satie, Cage, Feldman and Basinski while also being a logical step from his compositions for drone/doom tuba outfit ORE, which he left in 2014. Cyff Gwawd is named in tribute to Mark Hollis. It means “Laughing Stock” in Welsh.

The pieces on this release started as miniatures, some of the material freely composed, and some of it restricted to sets of just four pitch classes. In performance, however, they took on a life of their own and didn’t seem to want to be constrained to what had been written down — resulting in what might be better described as planned improvisations.

The same side of the same C90 — an old and far-from-clean TDK SA90, naturally — was used to record all four pieces. The older cassette machine’s completely unreliable motor and faulty tape head resulted in some happy accidents (speed changes, incomplete erasure) that would be impossible to reproduce. Apart from EQ, some additional reverb and the occasional overlaying of additional tracks (from the same source material), the only editing here has been structural. Other than that, what you hear is how it… more
