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

Hudba k představení Divadla Drak v Hradci Králové s názvem Expedice, má láska!

Bílý ostrov září. Ztracený uprostřed ledového oceánu vydává světlo, přestože to nikdo nevidí. Právě teď, když sedím ve Stockholmu a píšu tyto řádky, obklopuje Bílý ostrov záře.

Nikdo to nevidí. Ale ostrov září dál.

Inscenace vychází z knihy Expedice: Můj milostný příběh švédské autorky Bey Uusmy. Vydává se po stopách tříčlenné pionýrské expedice inženýra Andréeho z roku 1897, která se neúspěšně pokusila dobýt severní pól s pomocí horkovzdušného balónu. Tento dobrodružný příběh se dočkal řady zpracování včetně toho filmového ve snímku Let Orla, který byl nominovaný na Oscara. Na českých jevištích se však objevuje vůbec poprvé. Skrývá v sobě romantického ducha objevování a objevitelství, tragiku lidských osudů, které se předčasně završily kdesi v polární pustině, nenaplněnou osudovou lásku i řadu úsměvných, groteskních momentů souvisejících se samotným záměrem expedice.

Nahráno v Liberci, v Praze a v Hradci Králové, 2021–2022

Dental Drill Slips – 22222

Dental Drill Slips – 22222

Dental Drill Slips

“22222”

I’m probably not alone in deciding to create a release for 22 February this year. Frustratingly, I spent a month or more chiselling away bits of sound and moulding bits on to sound elsewhere but achieving nothing satisfactory. I sort of gave up.
Late last week I had an idea and was able to try it out on Friday and… EUREKA the dam burst and ideas came flooding through.
I was about two thirds of the way through creating 22222 when I had and idea to create a second track that is 22:22 long and (hopefully) sounds the same played in the traditional fashion or back to front. The trouble was that it was Saturday and I was committed to travelling half way across England to watch a non-league football match!
It wasn’t a case of just knocking up an 11:11 long track, duplicating it and flipping it for the second half. Some of the parts in Completely Contrary Composition run the entire length of the track and do not repeat (go figure).
A couple of very late nights (until 6.45 am on Sunday into Monday) and I completed this release with five and a half hours to spare. :)

An advantage of running the label is that I can put out releases at very short notice, although I had to suspend the “euphoria rule” – we give ourselves 14 days to be sure that a creation is as good as we thought it was when finished it.

Thank you for check this out. I hope that you find it interesting.

MZ-N710 – X 2900 de La Bourboule à Laqueuille

MZ-N710

“X 2900 de La Bourboule à Laqueuille”

L’association Fun Rail organisait, le 11 septembre 2021, un voyage « en train d’époque » entre les gares de La Bourboule et Laqueuille, en partenariat avec l’AAATV de Montluçon et la SNCF.
Les bénéfices réalisés à cette occasion serviront à financer des travaux de rénovation à la gare Aval de l’ancien funiculaire de Charlannes à La Bourboule.
J’ai pu prendre place à bord de l’autorail X 2900 de l’AAATV et admirer les magnifiques paysages de la vallée de la Dordogne et du massif du Sancy que l’on découvre tout au long de la ligne ferroviaire,
ligne qui n’a vu passer aucun train de voyageurs depuis l’été 2015.
J’ai aussi profité de la « musique » si particulière du moteur de l’autorail que j’ai enregistrée.
Voici le son capté lors du trajet aller de La Bourboule à Laqueuille, et en prime, celui du moteur pendant l’arrêt, à la fin du voyage.
Merci à Nicolas.

Fun Rail association organized, on September 11th, 2021, a journey « on old train » between La Bourboule and Laqueuille stations, in Puy de Dôme, Auvergne Rhône Alpes, France.
The AAATV of Montluçon and SNCF were involved too in the project.
Benefits raised will supply to renew the front of the old cable railway Aval station in La Bourboule.
On the X 2900 « autorail » of AAATV I admired the wonderful landscapes of Dordogne Valley and Sancy mountains that one can discover along the railway line, line on which no passenger train ran since summer of 2015.
I also enjoyed the so peculiar « music » of the « autorail » engine that I recorded going from La Bourboule to Laqueuille.
Like a bonus track, you will find the sound of the engine when the train stopped in La Bourboule, at the end of the journey.
Thanks to Nicolas.

Sounds of Silence; Richard Bentley; François Dumeaux

“3pr(iii)8ses”

1- Sounds of Silence “Friendly Storm”
How to make a recording so that the whole body can hear it, a soundscape that passes its secrets from one body to another? Friendly Storm opens with a machine breath, passing voices, a river trek. Hydrophone instants and domestic reveries. The ghost dogs bark all night, while the storms blow in news from the North African coast sending passenger pigeons scurrying across the roof. Missives from the global village. Sealed with a stretched kiss of male harmony, offering a slower sound of silence. Recorded in Toronto (Canada) and Bocale (Italy) in 2019-2020.
mikehoolboom.com

2- Richard Bentley “Hedgehog Shelter”
The discovery of a hedgehog tormented by lungworm, wheezing, snorting and struggling for air, prompted a visit to the local rescue centre. The outing afforded me an opportunity to get close to the animals and their crunching, rustling and huffing. The recordings were made in August 2017 with assemblage by François-Emmanuel Fodéré in 2020. anoisysilence.com

3- François Dumeaux “Harmonikoak”
Paysage sonore enregistré en septembre 2017 en Basse-Navarre (Pays Basque nord) aux cabanes d’estive de Muskuldi, près de la forêt d’Irati.
Le vent joue avec un portail ; au loin le berger, mène son chien et son troupeau de brebis.
Merci à Jean-Mixel Maitia et Marion Débats.

Acid Gert vs. Erhalder – 12 Places To Jack (Season One)
[BOLOJACK005]

Acid Gert vs. Erhalder

“12 Places To Jack (Season One)”

Acid Gert is jamming against cancer with the support of erhalder. Everytime some downloads our EP for free, one of my tumors shrinks a little bit. Because I have several tumors, we have split 12 Places to Jack into 4 parts, symbolizing the four wonderful natural seasons but also the progress of my cancer. The more you listen or dance to this first EP you will help me against the newest and smallest tumors. While with the latest EP you help kill the more elderly cells. Nah, just kidding with this esoteric stuff, but now for the real shit:

If you donate some money on Bandcamp, you’ll help me, a not yet 40 years old cancer kid in his final stage to buy some audio equipment he ever wanted, and maybe to build something like a small home studio
Help me live a bit longer and donate the $$$ you saved during the COVID-19 crisis for example because you couldn’t go to parties or bars.

The tracks are taken from a slackjackerz.com jam by Acid Gert & Erhalder in January 2020. A pomodoro timer, set to 5 minutes provided the basic structure and resulted in a dozen tracks. The tracks were re-arranged, produced and re-edited by erhalder.
A small variation of this live jam by erhalder was played at underground radio station The Lowdown.

This is the first part of a series of four releases. They will each be released a month apart, and always on the 1st.

Anastasia Vronski is a versatile experimental musician from Perm, Russia. Since years she has been creating an impressive and quite diverse body of work. Many of her tracks can be classified as “drone “or “noise”, but they always have a specific, often intriguing qualities. Above all, she’s not an artist who will do the same twice. Her new album The Ceremony has a definitely ritual vibe as the title suggests but with an original mixture of mysterious roaring, droney and pulsating noises, and more identifiable sounds like percussion & voices

[Gruen 201]

Budhaditya Chattopadhyay

“The Nomadic Listener”

This is a parallel release from The Nomadic Listener – an augmented book project on migration, contemporary urban experience, and sonic alienation. The book is composed of a series of texts stemming from psychogeographic explorations of major contemporary cities, such as Copenhagen, Berlin, Brussels, Leipzig, The Hague, Graz, London, Kolkata, Vienna, Delhi, Hong Kong, Mumbai, Amsterdam, New York, Paris, and others, through situated writing and field recording. Each text is an act of contemplative listening, where the artist/author records his surrounding environment and attempts to attune to the sonic fluctuations of movement and the passing of events. Each corresponding sound attempts to trace these nomadic interactions in unedited field recording. What surfaces is a collection of meditations on the minutiae of life movingly interwoven with the author’s own memories, associations, desires and reflections. The release and publication are entwined by a QR code for an augmented listening experience that draws up a tender map of contemporary cities, and the often lonely, surprising, and random interactions found in urban navigation.

Acoustic Mirror – Ecos

Acoustic Mirror – Ecos
[self/noise #12]

Acoustic Mirror

“Ecos”

self/noise nació en la primavera de 2013 como la extensión de una práctica – la práctica del activismo sonoro y la investigación sonora militante. Una práctica que iniciamos con la primera manifestación del 15 de mayo del 2011, y con las primeras horas de la ocupación de la Puerta del Sol de Madrid: todo esto que llamamos el #15M.

Desde aquellos inicios, arrancamos un largo camino de investigación y aprendizaje. En ocasiones, hemos tenido la oportunidad de emitir grabaciones de campo de acampadas, asambleas y calles tomadas por el #15M el mismo día que las habíamos realizado. Las llamábamos nuestras emisiones especiales, y, sí, reconocemos que eran bastante caóticas y ruidosas.

Hemos dedicado programas a nuestros antecesores, artistas y colectivos de activismo sonoro que nos han inspirado, como Christopher DeLaurenti (sobre todo, sus grabaciones de campo de la Batalla de Seattle de 1999), o la larga trayectoria del colectivo Ultra-red.

En algunas ocasiones, nos hemos centrado en las formas y prácticas de escucha activa. En 2013 nos sumamos al #WorldListeningDay, que fue, de lejos, el #WLD más comprometido con la escucha como práctica política.

En otras, nos interesábamos por las prácticas sonoras de resistencia y protesta. Así que dedicamos un programa especial a las caceroladas y a otras formas de /rough music/. Cómo no, también nos interesaba el uso del sonido por parte el poder. De ahí, nuestro programa dedicado a las armas sonoras (que sabemos que os gusta mucho).

Pero el sonido no ocurre en un vacío. Relacionarse con el paisaje sonoro es también conocer los espacios que habitamos. En 2014, dedicamos un programa especial a los paseos sonoros, y al caminar como práctica artística y política. (Grabamos el programa, por supuesto, caminando.) Y, en 2016, nos sumamos al proyecto La ciudad demudada, que investigaba las transformaciones que sufría la ciudad de Málaga en manos de la gentrificación.

Ha pasado bastante tiempo. El contexto y las circunstancias han cambiado. El paisaje sonoro se ha transformado. Nuestra práctica ha evolucionado. Nos guste o no, estamos, literalmente, lejos de aquellas plazas. Pero en algunas cabezas todavía resuenan los ecos de aquello.

Ahora, hemos vuelto. self/noise #12: «Ecos» es un collage sonoro de momentos destacados captados por nuestros micrófonos desde la primera manifestación del #15M y las primeras horas de la #AcampadaSol hasta los últimos estragos del movimiento allá por 2014. «Ecos» fue presentado por primera vez dentro de la instalación Listening Point en la exposición colectiva La Situación 2016, en la Facultad de Bellas Artes de Cuenca.

Emitido el mismo día 15 de mayo de 2020, en el noveno aniversario del inicio de aquellos acontecimientos, «Ecos» pretende ser un homenaje, una celebración, y también una re-evaluación de aquel momento. «Ecos» es un pequeño laberinto/mapa mental de espacios acústicos, que busca encontrar ecos de un futuro posible.

self/noise es un programa dedicado al activismo sonoro, a la escucha situada, y a la investigación sonora militante. Se emite con una temporalidad variable, pero con una persistencia a prueba de bombas.

Duelling Ants

“Random Gestures”

Random Gestures is an exploration of organic and spacial textures emerging from controlled and uncontrolled (random) processes. Soundscapes are «carved» out of landscapes of field recordings and sonic textures, with asynchronus parts and overdubs that creates micro melodies and unexpected bits. Improvisation with piano and acoustic guitar.

Tracks were recorded in 2019 using tape and tape loops on Tascam 414 mkII and Marantz pmd221, OP-1, Organelle, VCV Rack, Ableton and Max For Live, Avalanche Run, guitar, piano (Labs and Lekko) and field recordings.

The album is mastered by myself at a very basic level, so please listen on a good stereo or on decent headphones.

Thanks for listening !
