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

Paolino Canzoneri – Planemo

[SE074]

Paolino Canzoneri

“Planemo”

Paolino Canzoneri is an italian non musician. His experimental approach is an alchemy of acoustic samplings and sonorous fragments, research of sounds and effects that seem to interact in a suggestive way. As a result, the compositions may consist of ambient music, sometimes hypnotic, rhythmic loops with an impression of claustrophobic atonality.The modular synthesis creates sound flows with prolonged dynamics and dilated interlaced by horizontal structure that involves the repetition of sound nucleous, cycles constructed by stacking layers on layers that instill in the listener a feeling of inertia until the end of execution.

Planemo tracklist:

– Spazioporto fuori città
– Planemo
– Sabbia di Marte

Richard Sanderson – A Thousand Concreted Perils

[LOR081]

Richard Sanderson

“A Thousand Concreted Perils”

New album of experimental improvisations for melodeon (diatonic button accordion) from London based squeezebox player, morris dancer and head of Linear Obsessional Recordings. “A Thousand Concreted Pearls” goes even further than previous albums, the melodeon is amplified and put through effects pedals and mixed with feedback, or put through a modular synth. This resolutely melodic instrument, and workhorse of English folk is here thrust into an entirely new world.

Stephen Briggs – Hypnotique

[SCM-1608]

Stephen Briggs

“Hypnotique”

We’re happy to offer you the new Stephen Briggs concept ambient release with the usual shoegazish taste, out for the Netlabel Day 2016 special event.

In “Hypnotique”, the vast landscapes we were used to, here enlarge their borders, thanx to the artist’s skill in depicting sonic panoramas with his guitar, effects and looping.

In these five long tracks you will experience relaxed arpeggios and harmonies chasing eachother through textures of guitar pads that dilate our senses. And more, reversed phrases, roaring distant low-pitched notes as rumbling distant thunders, powerful reverbed and distorted riffs and chords.

There’s much stuff in this five steps that are simply titled I, II, III, IV, V, a magic digit sequence of a time-warped pendulum…

So sit back in your favorite armchair in front of a sunset, raise the volume, or take your full range headphones, click “play” and listen loud, relax, take a deep breath and count slowly from one to five and soon you’ll be…​

Solaris – Summer Edits

[LOR069]

Solaris

“Summer Edits”

Solaris was formed by Mark Sanderson, Richard Sanderson and Mark Spybey as young krautrock fans in Teesside in 1974, when they were aged 12 and 13. As the members grew up through post-punk, electronic music and free improv they have remained friends and still occasionally record together. These sessions were produced by Mark Spybey in Northumberland in 2010 and 2012 during the Summer holidays, and although the musicians have matured in the intervening decades, the influences of those original favourites (particularly the improvisational alchemy of Can and the cut-ups and aggression of Faust) are still audible.

Linear Obsessional is delighted to present their debut album- some 42 years after forming!

Marcel Rocha – Clouds Formations

[SCM-1604]

Marcel Rocha

“Clouds Formations”

“Clouds Formations” is a concept release coming from the brazilian brilliant musician and guitarist Marcel Rocha. The artist, with his fine guitar mastery, explores that enchanted part of the sky where clouds form, giving body to our visions and emotions. It is a rich sonic journey through the amazing world of “haze and vapours” that flows onward, everchanging like clouds drawing in the sky on and on and on… From sparse melodies to harmonic atmospheres, from spontaneous phrases to complex notes mazes, Marcel leads us by the hand into his personal multiform land.

Manb – Dialogue Alone

[SCM-1603]

Manb

“Dialogue Alone”

“Dialogue Alone” is the second Manb offering at Sucumusic.

The so called “art-quantum” concept manifested in his previous music, here continues its course in a series of tracks where improvisation is still the major Ermanno’s approach. Textures of sounds and synths are less broken, here. The time quantum is scanned by the minimal rhythm interventions and variations. This release, like all Manb’s music, has a natural vocation to cinematic purposes. You can easily imagine still poses that slowly mutate from A to B in a non linear, imperceptible and unpredictable path. Quoting David Byrne, at the end of the journey, “you may find yourself” asking “where did I get there?”http://sucumusic.weebly.com/uploads/2/3/8/4/23844610/8963418.jpg

Martin Rrach – Piano Attic

Martin Rrach

“Piano Attic”

These are improvised pieces using grand piano samples and playing them through some simple software programs i found on the net (www.ixi-software.net) – for the first piece it was lauki, for the second – crystals. Both of them (pieces) owing a lot to the abilities/failures – especially the second one – of my already ‘dead’ pc.
