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.”

L’Office des Ténèbres

“Verset 1334”

The Necrophile Humingbird Netlabel presents Verset 1334 by L’Office des Ténèbres.
“Obscure DIY Music for DIY Tapes Lovers”

Improvisation session recorded the 25th October 2023 at Britney25MOMEStudio in Besançon.
Members :
Half Guitar Hero Half Frenzy Percussionist : Willy Marleen
Master of Ceremony : Psyché Pelik
Disc Jockey : Yoshiwaku Mushotoku

Album title and project name came from a book by Jerzy Grotowski.

Audio Cassettes are available on Willy Marleen Bancamp (link on the release page)

To present this album I wrote : In a world devoured by obscurity, a light from outside changes everything. Not because it tries hard to do it but because it is. Pass through the darkness and you’ll understand.
Next I found this quote of Jerzy Grotowski :
Art is a ripening, an evolution, an uplifting which enables us to emerge from darkness into a blaze of light.
When the weirdos members of REfugEEs From Beyond meet with Willy Marleen it’s to run the Office of Darkness…

Dedicated to those who practice dances and songs which promote the graft between ancient knowledge of the body and soul, expanding the field of theater or simply bringing it back closer to its origin.

Marco Vanoppen – Tipota

Marco Vanoppen – Tipota

Marco Vanoppen

“Tipota”

The word “tipota” (τίποτα) is used in Greek meaning nothing.
The unintended purpose was to create and record “a song” about nothing, with nothing, resulting in only the sound of a distorted metronome and added voice.
It was “created” in a few seconds. Less is more.
Subsequently, I’d like to dedicate it to Diamanda Galás.

02. Lost In The Furry Foam

B SIDE Something is Dying in the Garden by REfugEEs From Beyond
03. A Handful of White Peebles
04. Black Waltz of The Unborn

Artwork paint by Alizé.

It could be dedicated to those who prefer each time they can to play their music alive together instead of being stuck behind a screen. I mean it’s like for children, it should be obvious to do not control them and to let them free to find their own ways because it’s one of the better ways to help them love life. To be clear if you have children let them come play music with you if they want, this world is so much under control, that it’s vital to help them feel how it’s good to feel free. After all the most important things in education next to love is to let them follow their dreams free. So :
Dedicated to the children who are not afraid by the dark fairy tales ?

Jazzaria – Un Known

Jazzaria – Un Known

Jazzaria

“Un Known”

Pass through to an unknown domain, and witness an intangible procession of intelligence – and the lack thereof. A known unknown, contrasted with its contrapositive, yields a self-similar absence of informative variation. Yet such leaps are still insightful, logically winnowing and ultimately implying an uncertain something about the state of things.

Featuring unaccompanied improvised clarinet with reverb.

REfugEEs From Beyond

“SO Nice Youth”

The Necrophile Hummingbird Netlabel presents SO Nice Youth by REfugEEs From Beyond.

“Unusual Noise Rock for No Wave People”

Live improvisation recorded the 11th August 2023 at the Cave Haven in Foucherans. During summer holidays at the beach I found this portal with “nice” write over, and so it makes “tilt” in my burning head, this was the key to decipher this mythical session improvised few weeks ago.
We all have been young at least once upon a time…

Dedicated to the youth of every country because it’s more than time to kick out every professional politicians or representatives of the deadly capitalist industries (or whatever the name you give to these corrupted agents of the world cancer) to build a better world.

entropija – genealogija C: 2019

entropija – genealogija C: 2019
[EEM067]

entropija

“genealogija C: 2019”

The final part of entropija live retrospective gathers together excerpts from three separate events and three home sessions.

What may be the most diverse package yet, “genealogija C” features glitches, fractured post-IDM beats, violent bursts of feedback, mutated radio transmissions, minimal synth loops, electroacoustic manipulations and electrifying hostile noise attacks, that all somehow flow organically into each other.

The album trespasses different genre territories by walking on the edge between cohesion and total break-down. This is entropija live experience at its most adventurous.

“5 years a goose”

Five years ago i started publishing music on Bandcamp, so a small celebration seems to be appropriate. The tracks on this album are all made during the last five years, two tracks are reworked versions from two of my albums (“kleine stücke” and “Herbarium”), two tracks are inspired by the Beat Battles (formerly on metapop, now on discord, the rest have never been published before. The last track (“arctic goose”) is brand new.

id – lunetta

id – lunetta
[EEM065]

id

“lunetta”

Lunetta is a modular synthesizer built using mostly digital logic chips.

All of the Lunettas are unique and different, because they allow creative and irregular ways to patch them up, since they are mainly made out of CMOS chips and allow completely different ways of modulation compared to analog electronics.

Lunettas share their specific tonal character, which is a complex pulse modulation, rich in high frequency harmonics, making them sound alike. The differences come from individual design and the chosen chips resulting in sometimes quirky or unpredictable behaviour.

Lunetta’s nametag comes from Stanley Lunetta, who was a classical and experimental musician. He is thought to be the first one to bring cheap digital logic chips to the table for making electronic instruments usually used in avant-garde music.

This album is a compilation of home, studio and live performance recordings, with a home-made Lunetta synthesizer, sound effects and feedback loops.

Multiple Personality 3

“MUTATIONS”

Recorded live the 17th July 2023 in the Cave Haven in Foucherans (france).
The same day than Orpheus Secret by REfugEEs From Beyond.
Well it was a very warm day of summer and we were very happy to play again together*…
Also this is perhaps the very last recording of Multiple Personality 3, that’s why it sounds sometime closer to PIRATE Tapes

*Halas it was a so small cellar to host five people like us inside without to be a total mess. It could be our worst improvisation session ! Like 5 elements unable to play together… till the last track when we remain only 3. I apologize I should have read first the combo name “Multiple Personality 3” and understand that to play in trio is the best line-up for us.

Loosely based on the Book Of Mutations…

Vincent Cardinaux : Drums
Alain Grille : Electric Guitar + FX

Jazzaria – Suspend Disbelief

Jazzaria – Suspend Disbelief

Jazzaria

“Suspend Disbelief”

Beliefs keep us grounded – contrariwise, they imply possession of the opposing disbelief. But there are times where we should suspend both extremes, and allow ourselves to float in between belief and disbelief. Like sand in a shaker, our temporary defiance of ideational gravity can enable us to express things beyond our conscious imaginings.

Featuring orchestral strings, choir, piano, shakers, synthesizers, brushed drums, flute, and bass.
