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.”

“Ineffability”

Attempting truth, one tries many things. Up, down, left, right, directions that are seemingly expansive yet form a stricture we wish to free ourselves of. What is a diagonal pitch? Can things overlap, separately? And what exists beyond the horizon of the manifest?

Featuring clarinet “sightreading” (improvisationally interpreting) the cover image, itself titled “True Glimpses 1” by Franziska Baumann (franziskabaumann.ch).

Jazzaria – Neighborly Perambulations

Jazzaria – Neighborly Perambulations

Jazzaria

“Neighborly Perambulations”

Walking through the parking lots,
Seeing where there’s trees (and not) –
Wond’ring if the other people
Also see the world this way.

All must see with their own eyes,
And in private they surmise –
Neighborly Perambulations
Fail to bridge the minds’ divide.

Featuring improvised clarinet.

Jazzaria

“Fluffy Call”

Calls can be quite substantive – but they can also be fluffy. Though perhaps enabling some form of connection, little information is shared on a fluffy call – and possible miscommunications can occur. If it’s just a fluffy call, please feel free to be excused.

Featuring strings, synthesizer, percussion, electric bass, telephones, and effects.

felsteg – Hold

felsteg – Hold
[djummi.031]

felsteg

“Hold”

Matt and Dave named their project Felsteg, which is Swedish for misstep. And this is certainly not due to a lack of conviction in their shared musical work. Rather, and on the contrary, the name describes their approach to music quite well for me. On “Hold” you can hear two experienced live musicians who consciously decide to “misstep” when playing. Misstep as an opportunity!

The music on the album was created live and spontaneously. Starting with rudimentary song ideas, they played sessions together in which improvisation became the means to flesh out the basic ideas. At the same time, these sessions were professionally recorded on multiple tracks in the studio, then supplemented with additional elements and mixed at the end.

On their debut album, Matt and Dave managed to create songs that, despite all their complexity and jazz affinity, are characterized by a pleasant lightness and catchiness, even naturalness.

Thomas Park – Shadows In The Lounge
[treetrunk 782]

Thomas Park

“Shadows In The Lounge”

As the vapers vaped and ‘retters ‘retted, plumes of smoke of various flavors spiralled towards the ceiling of the old lounge, which was now covered in a thin glaze of brown. The red satin chairs, once new, were torn in places and punctuated with cigarette burns. The wooden sculptures and armchairs were shiny, but a sticky to the touch. And as light bulb after light bulb expired shadows gradually began taking over the old lounge.

This session was recorded at Loud On 7th Studio– in one take with no overdubs. Sound and music by Thomas Park.
