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

Bruno de Vincenti – Jorge Castro – Vlisa – PAISAJE MODULAR

[PN116]

Bruno de Vincenti – Jorge Castro – Vlisa

“PAISAJE MODULAR”

“‘Organic’ is a word used in many situations; in this case it covers perfectly the bird’s eye description of this work. We can intuit in the first listening that improvisation and wisdom have met to create a record that lets you travel through the wide variety of sounds. We can let it flow and enjoy a fine work, which leads you to say, ‘uff, it’s over already’, and then give it another ‘play’. No doubt it is solid, but in a way that lets you breathe, it is not a block, it is solid as a cloud that has an important presence, but it is light and smooth.

Jorge Castro (aka Fisternni) is the host, recorded in La Cúpula, his bunker in Córdoba, accompanied here by two excellent artists, Bruno De Vincenti and Ramiro Cruz Larrain (aka Vlisa), essential components of the Argentine electronic scene and with an impressive history.

Without a doubt, this record is recommended; you have to sit in your armchairs and enjoy it again and again, because we never tire of seeing the clouds…”

Luís Antero – Sound Places: Serra do Açor, Vol. 1

[PT047]

Luís Antero

“Sound Places: Serra do Açor, Vol. 1”

Este trabalho sonoro foi produzido com base em gravações sonoras de campo realizadas na Serra do Açor, nomeadamente na Mata da Margaraça – Área Protegida da Serra do Açor – e nas aldeias
de Monte Frio, Porto Silvado, Pomares e Gramaça, pertencentes aos concelhos de Arganil e Oliveira do Hospital, respectivamente.
Sound Places: Serra do Açor, Vol. 1, como o nome indica, constitui o primeiro trabalho de uma série dedicada à Serra do Açor e a algumas das suas aldeias.
As paisagens e marcos sonoros que as compõem, que delas
fazem parte e lhes conferem identidade, são a base de trabalho para esta série, no seguimento do trabalho artístico de arquivo e documentação sonora que venho desenvolvendo desde 2008, apelando igualmente à escuta criativa dos lugares que fazem parte deste território e a um conhecimento sensitivo dos mesmos.
Assim, uma vez mais, dá-se a conhecer a Beira Serra através
da arte dos sons, na sua multiplicidade e dinâmica sonora. Uma Ruralidade Sonora, que se sente.

This sound work was produced based on field recordings performed in the Serra do Açor, namely in the Mata da Margaraça – protected area of the Serra do Açor –and in the villages of Monte Frio, Porto Silvado, Pomares and Gramaça, belonging to the counties of Arganil and Oliveira do Hospital, respectively.
Sound Places: Serra do Açor, Vol. 1, as the name indicates, is the first work of a series dedicated to the Serra do Açor and some of its villages.
The landscapes and sound frames that constitute them, which are part of them and give them identity, are the groundwork for this series, following the artistic work of the archive and the sound documentation that I have been developing since 2008, also appealing to the creative listening of the places which are part of this territory and to a sensitive awareness of them.
Thus, once again, one gets to know Beira Serra through the art of sounds, in its multiplicity and sound dynamics. A Sonorous Rurality that one can feel.

‘Please, listen with headphones’

Luís Antero – field recordings, sound composition, photos and text
Locations – Mata da Margaraça, Monte Frio, Porto Silvado e Pomares (Arganil); Gramaça (Oliveira do Hospital) | Portugal
Date of recordings – october and november 2016

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.

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.

Dallas Simpson – Skegness Lagoon Walk / Gibraltar Point – Improvisations

[PE09]

Dallas Simpson

“Skegness Lagoon Walk / Gibraltar Point – Improvisations”

Field recordings and improvisations recorded at Skegness on the East coast of England.

1. Skegness Lagoon Walk: Wind, Seascape and Improvisation
On August 2nd 2016, at around 6:10pm, while on holiday in Skegness, a live location performance soundwork was created at the Lagoon Walk location.

2. Gibraltar Point: Wind, Seascape and Improvisation
On August 4th 2016 a live location performance was created on the shoreline at Gibraltar Point Nature Reserve at about 9:30am featuring a short walk from the vegetated dune area by the beach to the tidal edge and back to the edge of the dunes.

3. Gibraltar Point Car Park Windscape (vignette)
Recorded in our car on the 4th August 2016 in the Gibraltar Point Visitor’s Car Park shortly before our return home to Nottingham. I discovered by accident that when the driver’s side car door was just ajar a strong wind noise was heard. It was ‘blowing a gale’ at the time. As I had my full binaural recording rig at hand it was too good an opportunity to miss!

Dallas Simpson is an environmental sound artist and has been recording and performing live on location since the mid 1990s. Recordings are exclusively in the binaural format for headphone listening recorded using in-ear custom modified DPA4060 microphones. He engages with locations observing soundscapes and performs live using found objects and surfaces.

Maja Delak, Luka Prinčič – Transmittance#1​.​5

Maja Delak, Luka Prinčič

“Transmittance#1​.​5”

“Transmittance #1.5” is an edited sonic document of a live situation – a broadcast of an audio-visual telematic performance in the summer of 2011. The positions of earth satellites published by NORAD were used in real-time to shape the sound textures and the input from a remote audience was used to structure the chapters of the sonic story.

Lefterna – Furthermore

[SCM-1609]

Lefterna

“Furthermore”

Furthermore is a medium lenght concept EP in which Lefterna offers a range of static, slowly changing moods through five ambient/drones and noise sketches. Quoting a famous phrase by Brian Eno about ambient music, Lefterna’s five tracks simply happen. They don’t develop. You won’t find an intro, a fade in, a theme, an outro. Everything the artist wants to tell us unfold in its entirety to our ears as soon as you press play. We wanted to see what happened providing you a 6th bonus track where all the playlist is played and mixed continously. This alternative listening approach will lead you to an interesting journey in which you will experience how five static soundscapes mutate into one another, landing in a final destination you won’t expect how far from the starting point is.

– Gaetano Fontanazza
