Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 356

Isle Peaks.

Hi folks and welcome to Isle Peaks. Episode 356 of my Virtual cassette library. It’s Sunday and I hope your weekend was a blast. Facebook dropped the bomb of removing additional profiles which is one of the platforms I’ve built up this channel over the years. So I’m having to re-add all the weird music mates I’ve made on trevlad sounds onto my original account.
Anyway…
I make these shows as a sort of diary. I like descovering new music every day and happen to like sharing those finds with you in the form of this podcast/radio show/mixtape.

Side A will include David Boulter with Unloading Cargo from the compilation Pictures at an Exhibition. Out on ElectronicUs which was curated by Bonfire Hill. Observational, and tied to the harbour town of Whitby. Then Bålsam – River Goddess – Soñador. Out on Le Mont Analogue, the sister label of DRONARIVM. Keeping the river moving through the dreamer. After that Tim Stebbing – Arrival – No Place Like Home. A self release. “Arrival” establishes the scale without rushing the landing: melodic lines and ambient pads that feel measured rather than triumphant. Then Monroeville Music Center – World Of Forest – Cave & Castle. out on the Illuminated Paths label. Concrete sounds arranged into something that feels both playful and slightly off-kilter. To end the A side is Bitchin Bajas – Isle Peaks. Out on Drag City Records. I bought the vinyl from Dan Quinlivan of the trio at their concert here in Stockholm on the day of the cover artist Elisabeth Fuchsia’s birthday. Dan told me the image is actually a collage of photos sewn together by Eliabeth. Drone and field recordings carrying the piece outward until the chords begin to shimmer.
After that side B will flip itself like a polite pancake while you notice a detail in your surroundings.
First off is The Mumbai based Belgian artist who returned after decades away.
Mantris – Holding Together – 64 Flux. Out on the Hi Scores label. Quiet, conditional, and still in the process of arriving.

Welcome and Enjoy…

These are not playlists. Each episode is structured as a pair of continuous sets: six tracks on each side, mixed and stitched so the joins sit almost inside the grain. The sequence is the form.
If you make music, run a label, or hold a private archive of material that has not yet found a place, send links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. Every submission is heard.
The episodes remain free for the first week. After that they move into the Mixcloud subscriber archive. Subscribers also receive Veil Frequencies, the ongoing series of three-hour transmissions—extended traversals rather than selections, moving through a curtain of sound that occasionally seems to register the listener in return.
Mind the flip.

Holding together inside a longer flux, then a skeleton already half-buried.
Side A places the provisional elements so the surrounding tracks keep them from dissolving, unloads the cargo with instrumental lines that suggest activity without describing it, keeps the river goddess moving through the dreamer among tender loops and a mother’s voice, arrives on the other planet with sequencer-led lines that feel measured rather than triumphant, opens a door into the world of forest for a moment and moves on, and holds the isle peaks in the middle ground between hypnotic drift and song, still open to the water. Side B keeps the vespers in the dusk atmosphere with softly processed piano and reverb-soaked guitar still carrying the evening light, turns the old material over once more so it remains unfinished enough to keep moving, sinks the fictional island into the last place on the map, holds the goldenrod in warm hypnotic drift still turning toward the longer nights, sits the imperfect among the first steps toward self-awareness with the weight of what has not yet been said, and carries the skeleton within the eldritch frame, already half-buried.
Overall mood: Provisional, and quietly observational — full of elements still in the process of arriving, rivers that keep moving, and bones that prefer to stay half-buried. Perfect for dusk listening, soft harbours, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.

Side A

Mood mist: provisional elements still in the process of arriving, cargo unloaded without describing the activity, a river goddess moving through the dreamer, an arrival measured rather than triumphant, a door into the world of forest held for a moment, isle peaks still open to the water.


00:03:30 Mantris – Holding Together
https://mantris.bandcamp.com/track/08-holding-together
Album: 64 Flux. Label: Hi Scores
https://mantris.bandcamp.com/album/64-flux
The Mumbai artist who returned after decades away places “Holding Together” as track eight on 64 Flux. Where his recent Mahorka work moved from darkness toward hope through progressive sound and melody, this piece sits inside a longer flux: sparse elements that feel provisional, as if the surrounding tracks are what keep it from dissolving. On Hi Scores the track doesn’t announce so much as it maintains its place—quiet, conditional, and still in the process of arriving.
00:07:21 David Boulter – Unloading Cargo
https://whitbyelectronicus.bandcamp.com/track/unloading-cargo
Album: Pictures at an Exhibition. Label: ElectronicUs, Bonfire Hill
https://whitbyelectronicus.bandcamp.com/album/pictures-at-an-exhibition
The Tindersticks keyboardist contributes to the Whitby exhibition album with a piece that sits alongside works accompanying specific paintings. Where his Clay Pipe mini-album Whitby reinterpreted the coast through woodwind, strings and electronics, “Unloading Cargo” keeps the same measured distance—instrumental lines that suggest activity without describing it. On the free/pay-what-you-want Bandcamp release the track holds its place in the gallery sequence: quiet, observational, and still tied to the harbour town.
00:10:33 Bålsam – River Goddess
https://balsam.bandcamp.com/track/river-goddess
https://le-mont-analogue.bandcamp.com/track/river-goddess
https://dronarivm.bandcamp.com/track/river-goddess
Album: Soñador. Label: Le Mont Analogue, DRONARIVM
https://le-mont-analogue.bandcamp.com/album/so-ador
Anthony Asher-Yates places “River Goddess” early on the personal album that follows his decade in the Colombian jungles. The four-minute piece sits among tender ambient loops and subtle tropical textures, the kind of quiet that carries both healing and the weight of what came before. On the limited cassette the track holds its place without announcing itself—part of a sequence that includes a mother’s voice message and a recording with his daughter—keeping the river moving through the dreamer.
00:14:28 Tim Stebbing – Arrival
https://tim-stebbing.bandcamp.com/track/arrival
Album: No Place Like Home.
https://tim-stebbing.bandcamp.com/album/no-place-like-home
The Leeds synthesizer artist opens his concept album about settling another planet with seven minutes of sequencer-led Berlin School electronics. “Arrival” establishes the scale without rushing the landing: melodic lines and ambient pads that feel measured rather than triumphant. Released in October 2026 as the first of eight tracks, it sets the tone for the longer piece—chilled, instrumental, and still in the process of arriving.
00:20:56 Monroeville Music Center – World Of Forest
https://monroevillemusiccenter.bandcamp.com/track/world-of-forest
https://illuminatedpaths.bandcamp.com/track/world-of-forest
Album: Cave & Castle. Label: Illuminated Paths
https://illuminatedpaths.bandcamp.com/album/cave-castle
The short piece sits inside the 2015 cassette album that treats its titles as rooms to enter and leave. At under two minutes, “World Of Forest” keeps the project’s musique-concrète brevity—concrete sounds arranged into something that feels both playful and slightly off-kilter. On Illuminated Paths the track doesn’t linger; it opens a door, holds it for a moment, and moves on.
00:22:29 Bitchin Bajas – Isle Peaks
https://bitchinbajas.bandcamp.com/track/isle-peaks
Album: Isle Peaks. Label: Drag City Records
https://bitchinbajas.bandcamp.com/album/isle-peaks
The Chicago trio’s title track sits inside the 2026 EP drawn from the same analog sessions as Inland See. Where the longer opener “Ajami” stretches into suite-like proportions, “Isle Peaks” moves more gradually—acoustic guitar, drone and field recordings carrying the piece outward until the chords begin to shimmer. On the Drag City 12″ the track holds the middle ground between the group’s hypnotic drift and its more recent song-oriented mode, still open to the water.

Welcome to the intermission aka the flip side. You just heard the track “Isle Peaks” by Bitchin Bajas. Remember If you make music, run a label, or hold a private stash of sounds that have yet to find more ears, send links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. Every submission is considered. Today’s album of the day: “Skeletons” by 40 various artists. Out on the brilliant DIY tape label Dustopian Frequencies. It’s a name your price release and your collection need it.

https://dustopianfrequencies.bandcamp.com/album/skeletons

The next set will feature The Last Ambient Hero – Everything Old Is New Again – Night Games. Self released. Edited, layered at different tape speeds, and still unfinished enough to keep moving. Then Mensa Group International – R’lyeh – Split LP. Out on the Ailanthus Recordings label. Brief, submerged, and sinking. After that Ryan Howell aka Oceanographer – Goldenrod – Orctalox. From the amazing Bricolage label. Contemplative harmony moves over muted percussion and soft reverberations, holding warm, hypnotic drift. Then the penultimate track of the episode is by fellow Irishman Pete Fitzpatrick aka Circuit3 – Imperfect – Metanoia: Music From Therapy. Out on the wonderful Mortality Tables label. Minimal analogue vocabulary with warm, hypnotic drift. To end todays episode is Utrecht-based Jason Stöll’s Xeeland – Skelet – from the album of the day Skeletons. That amazing compilation curated by The Owls Of The Oracle for Dustopian Frequencies. Carrying the weight of bone and already half burried.
But first Michael Cottone aka The Green Kingdom and the track “Vespers 2” from the album Vespera. Out on the always magical whitelabrecs. Softly processed piano and reverb-soaked guitar sit inside the dusk atmosphere that runs through the album.
Enjoy the rest of the episode.

Side B

Mood mist: vespers still carrying the evening light, old material turned over once more, a fictional island already sinking, goldenrod turning toward the longer nights, an imperfect among the first steps toward self-awareness, a skeleton already half-buried.


00:35:13 The Green Kingdom – Vespers 2
https://whitelabrecs.bandcamp.com/track/vespers-2
https://thegreenkingdom.bandcamp.com/track/vespers-2
Album: Vespera. Label: whitelabrecs
https://whitelabrecs.bandcamp.com/album/vespera
Michael Cottone places the shorter of the two Vespers near the end of the 2026 album. Softly processed piano and reverb-soaked guitar sit inside the dusk atmosphere that runs through Vespera, the four minutes holding the same luminous restraint as the longer Vespers 1 without repeating it. On the whitelabrecs release the track keeps its place in the measured sequence—quiet, unhurried, and still carrying the evening light.
00:39:08 The Last Ambient Hero – Everything Old Is New Again
https://thelastambienthero.bandcamp.com/track/everything-old-is-new-again
Album: Night Games.
https://thelastambienthero.bandcamp.com/album/night-games-2
The Manchester project closes its 2026 late-night tape album with a short piece that feels like a final pass through the Uher. Recorded after everyone else had gone to bed and then curated down, the two-and-a-half minutes sit among the other brief tracks as a quiet reminder that the old material can still be turned over once more. On the limited CD the track holds the end of the sequence—edited, layered at different tape speeds, and still unfinished enough to keep moving.
00:41:04 Mensa Group International – R’lyeh
https://ailanthusrecordings.bandcamp.com/track/rlyeh
Album: Split LP. Label: Ailanthus Recordings
https://ailanthusrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/split-lp
The 2012 vaporwave split closes its “Atlas of Fictional Islands” side with the Lovecraft city. At two and a half minutes the piece keeps the same short, lo-fi frames as the other island titles—Pokoponesia, Shadow Moses, New Penzance—before handing the record over to luxury elite’s customer-service half. On the Ailanthus release the track holds the last fictional place: brief, submerged, and already sinking.
00:43:27 Oceanographer – Goldenrod
https://bricolageglasgow.bandcamp.com/track/goldenrod
Album: Orctalox. Label: Bricolage
https://bricolageglasgow.bandcamp.com/album/orctalox-bc102
Ryan Howell names the track after the Missouri wildflower that feeds pollinators late in the season. Contemplative harmony moves over muted percussion and soft reverberations, the four minutes holding the same warm, hypnotic drift that runs through the 2026 album. On the Glasgow label’s bc102 the piece keeps its place in the seasonal sequence—grainy and fluid, earthly and still turning toward the longer nights.
00:49:24 Circuit3 – Imperfect
https://mortalitytables.bandcamp.com/track/imperfect
https://circuit3.bandcamp.com/track/imperfect
Album: Metanoia: Music From Therapy. Label: Mortality Tables
https://mortalitytables.bandcamp.com/album/metanoia-music-from-therapy
Peter Fitzpatrick places the track early in the 2026 album that grew out of conversations about therapy. The four-and-a-half minutes sit among the first steps toward self-awareness, using the same minimal analogue vocabulary that runs through the rest of the record—spacious, tactile, and still carrying the weight of what has not yet been said. On the Mortality Tables release the piece keeps its place between “Mood” and “Burnout,” quiet enough to let the process continue.
00:53:40 Xeeland – Skelet
https://dustopianfrequencies.bandcamp.com/track/xeeland-skelet
Album: Skeletons. Label: Dustopian Frequencies
https://dustopianfrequencies.bandcamp.com/album/skeletons
Jason Stöll’s contribution sits inside the free Halloween compilation of nearly forty skeleton-themed tracks. The Utrecht-based project keeps the piece within the label’s eldritch frame—short enough to join the others without lingering, yet still carrying the weight of bone. On the Dustopian Frequencies release the track holds its place among the rest of the collection, experimental and already half-buried.

That was another outing of the Virtual Cassette Library. If the sequence stayed with you, share it, favourite the show, and follow the channel so the next episode finds you and maybe someone new. Tips keep the reels turning. Better still, subscribe: the archive now holds more than twelve hundred past episodes, waiting whenever the next listening session calls. Travel safely between the frequencies. I won’t say goodbye as that would suggest that we’ll never meet again. Instead, I say, Cheerio.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 355

A Perspective With No End.

Hi folks and welcome to A Perspective With No End. Episode 355 of my Virtual cassette library. It’s Friday and I hope your weekend is looking spectacular. This Mixcloud channel has now passed twelve hundred mixes and as a coincedence, and a thank you, I made the previous bonus mix titled ///fake.prompts.roofer which is the what3words location of my letterbox and where I found a copy of The Twelve Hour Foundations latest 10” vinyl release Expanded & Repurposed. Which was kindly gifted to me by Jez and Polly.
Anyway…
I make these shows as sort of diary of sorts which is not the best of ideas but I like descovering new music every day and happen to like sharing my finds with you.

Side A will include Rikardfvs with Knocking On The Door Of The Worm Breeder from the must have Dustopian Frequencies compilation Skeletons. This is motorik krautrock groove from up the road. After that legendary The Black Dog with You Married Yourself (Live) from the album Live At Dekmantel 2026. pulsing Idm that will have your neck snapping. Then Andrew Lang together with Tim Koch and the wonderfully named track When In Rhodes from the album Comminuere Communitas out on the unstoppable force that is Mahorka. Ten and half minutes of drifting pads and hissy rhodes just what the doctor ordered. After that Justin Hopper with Jesse Chandler in the piece The Mayday Pond from the album The Autochrome and Other Stories. An exclusive ghost story for Christmas out on the stellar Clay Pipe Music label. Ending side a is Hello Mr. Klaus with Opus 39. The buildings shatter, and so does my heart from the album The Ring of Fire -Electronic Symphony No.3 Part. 1. A synthesizer opus to drift aimlessly into space to.
After that side B will flip itself like a polite pancake while you notice a detail in your surroundings.
First off is TOMAGA with A Perspective With No End from the album The Shape Of The Dance out on Hands In The Dark. Four minutes of brooding percussion,understated bass and lapping waves where the perspective is already the dance.

Enjoy…

These are not playlists. Each episode is structured as a pair of continuous sets: six tracks on each side, mixed and stitched so the joins sit almost inside the grain. The sequence is the form.
If you make music, run a label, or hold a private archive of material that has not yet found a place, send links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. Every submission is heard.
The episodes remain free for the first week. After that they move into the Mixcloud subscriber archive. Subscribers also receive Veil Frequencies, the ongoing series of three-hour transmissions—extended traversals rather than selections, moving through a curtain of sound that occasionally seems to register the listener in return.
Mind the flip.

Side A

Mood mist: a perspective with no end, a door that is already the bone, a marriage that is already the self, a Rhodes that is already the next grain, a pond that is already the autochrome, a heart that is already the next movement of the ring.

https://mahorka.bandcamp.com/track/when-in-rhodes
Album: Comminuere Communitas. Label: Mahorka

Welcome to the intermission aka the flip side. You just heard the track “Opus 39. The buildings shatter, and so does my heart” by Hello Mr. Klaus. Remember If you make music, run a label, or hold a private stash of sounds that have not yet found more ears, send links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. Every submission is considered. Today’s album of the day: is After Dark by Vermont based Fimnur. Recorded between November 2025 and February 2026, the twelve pieces move through titles like “Fractals in Ice,” “The Curse Awakens,” and “Just Before Dawn,” keeping the cold, story-driven atmosphere of earlier work while opening small doors to neo-classical texture. A measured expansion of the Vermont winter project rather than a reinvention.

https://fimnur.bandcamp.com/album/after-dark

The next set will feature OdNu with the track Pushpoint from the album with the great title, Thinking is Electric, Knowing is Magnetic. Out on the Camembert Électrique label. The gap between the outward spark of thought and the inward pull of knowing. After that Studio Kosmische with CRÈME CARAMEL from the 7” limited edition single Crème Caramel b/w Salted Caramel. Dom Keen’s take on Cluster’s “Caramel” (from the 1974 Zuckerzeit) drifts the original’s melodic core through layered synths and open kosmische textures. A careful tribute that blurs the line between homage and new space. Then Sha ked with the 40 second Intro from the EP Conditionally. The opening track on Conditionally arrives as a brief, self-contained statement. Drops on Monday via the SWIMP GUMS label. The penultimate track this week is Hoeken by Aries Mond from the album Lines. Boris Billier’s Hoeken continues the spontaneous, single-take approach of his recent Edge Angles. Minimal lines sit against everyday sound sources, the imperfect edges left intact so the piece feels caught rather than composed. It’s out on whitelabrecs.
Ending episode 355 is the wonderful Cate Brooks with Blush Tide from the compilation Filaments. Out on Jo Johnson curated Silver Threads label. Cate layers soft electronic textures that feel nurturing rather than distant, the kind of ambient that settles without insisting.
But first vidnaObmana and the track “Ephemeral Vision (Dreams In Exile)” from the album The River of Appearance. out on Projekt Records. The acoustic re-creation of the 1996 Belgian ambient classic.
Enjoy the rest of the episode.

Side B

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 354

We Can Watch.

Hi folks and welcome to We Can Watch. Episode 354 of my Virtual cassette library. It’s Thursday and I hope your week is rounding up nicely. I met Robin Rimbaud last night who was in Stockholm performing with Klang Systematiek at Fylkingen, an artist-run, non-profit association and venue for experimental music and intermedia art. Founded in 1933 making it is one of the oldest forums of its kind in the world. I also bumped into the legendary Håkan Lidbo who I know through my wife who sings in his electro trash pop outfit PayTV. I also got chatting with a dude living in Gothenburg, sorry I forgot your name, who introduced me to live coding music and algorave which was new to me. A fascinating world of the practice of writing and modifying computer code in real time to generate sound, rhythms, and compositions.
Also last night while this event was happening were a few other parties of the listening kind. Field Lines Cartographers new one Phases II: Further Moons dropping tomorrow on Castles In Space sounds amazing and, of course, The Synthesis Co-Op Volume Two of which I have a piece. I read through the chat on my way home and got teary-eyed. What an amazing collective of super supporters and artists they are. If you can’t afford therapy I’d suggest dropping into listening parties on Bandcamp. Thanks every one for the wonderful comments and for supporting each other.
Anyway…
I make these shows on a daily bases which is not the best of ideas but I like listening to new music every day and just happen to like sharing my finds with you.
Shout out to MoiCflo for favoriting previous episodes.

Side A will include Jo Johnson and her soothing track We Can Watch, the track with the cuckoo and the child at the end saying we can watch, ambient synth and field recording where the watching is already happening and the donation goes to the Hope Not Hate and Kent Wildlife Trust. This melts into Oliver Cherer aka Gilroy Mere and the track Furlongs 2 from the album Furlongs out on Clay Pipe Music. Four minutes of pastoral electronics along the Downs where the chalk path is the same one Ravilious walked and the train is still going past the Long Man. Then Bill Bawden aka The Prairie Lines and the track This Is Where We Kneel from the album eyes down slowdown out on channel supporting whitelabrecs. The opening of the slowdown, four minutes of processed piano and static where the wide open space is the holy chamber and the kneeling is already the invitation. Then Brian Phillips aka Glass Hive with Snow In Summer from the self titled EP out on Unknown Tone Records. The track that looks like the plant, ambient calm from the Florida side project where the snow is already the summer and the mind is already in the woods of sleep.
An finally to end the set the extremely prolific The Merricks with the piece bds2 from their release Bounds which seems to have mysteriously dissapeared from the face of the earth so I’m calling this an exclusive track. Geneva dark minimal electro, where the sonic bath is already the edge and the edge is already the next one. After that side B will flip itself like a polite pancake while you notice a detail in your surroundings.
First off is the shortest tack of the episode from Austin Potter and Rainbow Trout from the album III. Out on the Wormhole World label. Austin if you’re listening I want you to make me a guided sleep meditation.

Enjoy…

These are not playlists. Each episode is structured as a pair of continuous sets: six tracks on each side, mixed and stitched so the joins sit almost inside the grain. The sequence is the form.
If you make music, run a label, or hold a private archive of material that has not yet found a place, send links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. Every submission is heard.
The episodes remain free for the first week. After that they move into the Mixcloud subscriber archive. Subscribers also receive Veil Frequencies, the ongoing series of three-hour transmissions—extended traversals rather than selections, moving through a curtain of sound that occasionally seems to register the listener in return.
Mind the flip.

The rainbow already in the water, then a sonic bath that is already the edge.
Side A lets the trout know the colour so the water is already the poem, watches with the cuckoo and the child so the watching is already happening, walks the second furlongs along the chalk path the Long Man still watches while the train goes past, kneels in the wide open space that is already the holy chamber, keeps the snow in summer so the mind is already in the woods of sleep, and bounds the dark minimal electro where the bath is already the edge and the edge is already the next one.
Overall mood: Pastoral, and quietly edged — full of water that is already the poem, open chambers, and summers that prefer to keep their snow. Perfect for dusk listening, soft Downs, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.

Side A
Mood mist: a rainbow trout already in the water, a track with the cuckoo and the child saying we can watch, pastoral electronics along the Downs, a place where we kneel, snow that is already summer, a second bound of Geneva dark minimal electro.

Remember If you make music, run a label, or hold a private stash of sounds that have not yet found more ears, send links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. Every submission is considered. Today’s album of the day: Cell Theory by Groningen, Netherlands based ambient organism “zensor” modular synths and circuit-bent electronics where the cell is already the machine and the machine is already dividing.
https://zensor.bandcamp.com/album/cell-theory

The next set will feature Matt Lowery and the track 2-11-24 from the album Vessel out on a favourite label and channel supporter Mystery Circles. The February miniature, two minutes of modular synth and tape loop where the date is the title and the vessel is already holding the next one. Then Seil Records curator Jogging House with Shelves from the album Really. Four minutes of manipulated piano and tape where the shelves are already holding the thoughts and the thoughts are already floating. After that Julien Hauspie and the track Walkabout from the album A Distant Familiar the second track of the episode from whitelablecs. Three minutes of dialed-back guitar and field recording where the distant familiar is already the path and the path is already the walk. The penultimate piece of today’s episode is from an artist who reached out to me. Jason Dzamba produces solo improvised piano works on Youtube. Unedited improvised piano where the waiting is already the touch and the touch is already the next note that didn’t get edited out. I’ve chosen the piece Waiting Touch. Ending episode 354 is Mythologen with the track Gold from the self titled album which came out back in 2017 but seems to be missing from the Höga Nords Rekords label catalogue. One minute fourty five seconds of dreamy synth where the gold is already the muffled melody and the melody is already the recovery.

But first Zyggurat and the track “A Door Opens” from the album Sphere to Sphere out on the Old Technology label. The short closing of the sphere, two minutes of modular synth from the woodland chapel where the door is already open and the next sphere is already the one you were in.
Enjoy…

Mood mist: a door that opens, a February miniature, shelves that hold the thoughts, a walkabout that is already the path, a waiting touch on piano, gold that is already the muffled melody.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 353

Love and Regret.

Hi folks and welcome to Love and Regret. Episode 353 of my Virtual cassette library. It’s Wednesday and I hope your week so far has been fantastic. I make these shows on a daily bases which is not the best of ideas but I like listening to new music every day and just happen to like sharing my finds with you.
Shout out to aeon for the pep talk check out his monthly Fragments show on Camp Radio also 4000 Records, dougtewksbury, Lee Raymond Sykes and boysmithers for favoriting previous episodes.

Side A will include skimmed_milk with Apologue from the album Forsaken out on the wonderful Ambient Cat label. Dark around the edges, liminal in the middle. The cat is ambient. The milk is skimmed. Then Soldiers in the Snow with Mirador from the album The Synthesis Co-Op Volume Two. A compilation on which I too have left a stain. The sound is the cold kind. Not dramatic cold. The kind that sits in the boots and waits. Go get yourself a copy of this 17 track outing it’s for a good cause. After that Mayassa Dib with Prelude a single out on the Moolakii Club Audio Interface label. Play it when you need the beginning without the arrival.
After that Drew Huddart aka Scholars of the Peak with The Haven Under The Hill from the compilation album Pictures at an Exhibition.The sound is the pastoral kind with the edges still on. Bells somewhere in the distance, synths doing the work of the slope, field recordings of whatever the hill was doing that day.
and finally an exclusive by Tim Spear alias The Careful System with Silence cupped in deeper silence from the album Motifs 2 which will see light of day on November 20 via artist curated label WHI Recordings. After that side B will flip itself like a polite pancake while you notice a detail in your surroundings.
First off is The Fimnur Trio with “Dungeon Jazz” from the album Sketches from the Dungeon. A dungeon that decided it wanted a cocktail. Loungey enough that you might sit down. Dungeon enough that the chair is probably a rock.

Enjoy…

These are not playlists. Each episode is structured as a pair of continuous sets: six tracks on each side, mixed and stitched so the joins sit almost inside the grain. The sequence is the form.
If you make music, run a label, or hold a private archive of material that has not yet found a place, send links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. Every submission is heard.
The episodes remain free for the first week. After that they move into the Mixcloud subscriber archive. Subscribers also receive Veil Frequencies, the ongoing series of three-hour transmissions—extended traversals rather than selections, moving through a curtain of sound that occasionally seems to register the listener in return.
Mind the flip.

A dungeon that decided it wanted a cocktail, then the first vegetable without the rest of the garden.
Side A lets the dungeon order its cocktail with the chair already a rock and loungey enough to sit, darkens the apologue around the edges while the milk stays skimmed and liminal in the middle, sits the mirador in the boots with the stain already left, begins the prelude without the arrival that is already postponed, keeps the haven under the hill with the bells distant and the hill doing whatever it was doing that day, and cups the silence in deeper silence that is already waiting. Side B lets the trees remember what only they still hold, thinks the spoon is a saw with the modular already acid and the win declared, grows the physis with the goddess going and the noticing optional, loves the regret with the sax open and the orchestra under it, kisses the skulls in a Radiophonic farewell that is already kind, and offers the first carrot with the rest of the garden optional and the nothing already about something.
Overall mood: Amused, and quietly edged — full of ordered cocktails, cupped silences, and vegetables that prefer to arrive alone. Perfect for dusk listening, soft dungeons, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.

Side A
Mood mist: a dungeon that decided it wanted a cocktail, an apologue dark around the edges, a mirador that sits in the boots, a prelude without the arrival, a haven under the hill, a silence cupped in deeper silence.

Okay. Naharim, the Lost City. A young archivist finds an old grimoire, walks through a stone archway into some parallel place called Indarabia, ends up in a city frozen in Time, and then the portal closes and nobody sees him again. Extra lines show up in the book later. By this French Berlin School guy, Sylvain Carel, on the Buenos Aires label Cyclical Dreams. that does the sequenced, ambient, space-music thing you should all be addicted to by now.

Synths over drones, field recordings, and on this one a fingerpicked acoustic guitar. After that Kevin Figes with Love and Regret from the album Sound Dimensions. saxophonist, flutist, composer, the one who brings jazz and 20th-century Italian classical together and then puts a twenty-piece orchestra under it. The penultimate track is by A Farewell to Hexes who bless us with The Kiss Of Skulls from the compilation I can’t get enough of Skeletons An Adam Leonard project that does the Radiophonic, sinister, concept-heavy electronics. Finally Craig Fortnam the North Sea Radio Orchestra and Arch Garrison guy, from the Cardiacs family, making instrumental music that is about nothing at all when you need the first vegetable without the rest of the garden.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 352

Light In the Tunnel.

Hi folks and welcome to Light In the Tunnel episode 352 of my Virtual cassette library. It’s Tuesday and I hope your week is off to a great start. Please let me know if you want something mentioned in future episodes as I do realise that social media just doesn’t connect us. I know this as I’m sending actual physical mix tapes to anyone who suggests a piece of music they love at the moment and I’ll make a personal cassette based on it. New subscribers or tip givers jump to the top of the que of course. What surprizes me is the lack of enthusiasm and response to this. I’ve had one comment and I’ve lost 6% of my subscribers since posting this offer. I don’t get it.
Anyway on to the show.
Shout out to Fragile X, MoiCflo, Musiccity Official Radio, Tempest Recordings and aeon for favoriting previous episodes.

The first side will include Cub\cub with the track The horizon becomes narrower. It’s the music of getting closer and closer until closer stops being a place and starts being a condition. From the compilation All About HER (a benefit compilation for Hollow Earth Radio). Out on Hollow Earth Radio. Also Robin Rimboud aka Scanner who I plan on bumping physically tomorrow here in Stockholm. You’ll be blessed with the track Nightwalk from the EP Scanner Librarian EP 1. There’s a librarian involved, which means someone is supposed to be quiet, but the night is not cooperating.
This floats into the track Som solsken which is Swedish and means Like Sunshine. It’s by Ingmar Wennerberg aka Snufmumriko and is from the album Talisman. Out on the Le Mont Analogue label. It’s gentle. A little rhythmic, but the kind of rhythmic that doesn’t want to make a scene. Like sunlight that has decided to take the long way around instead of coming straight through the window.
Then Matthew Hiram with the track Viridis Which is Latin for green, I looked it up so I wouldn’t sound like someone who just guessed. From the album Shade Songs. Minimal and patient, like it’s fine waiting for you to notice the difference between being in the light and being under it.
Finally before the tape flip another friend Alex Ringess and his 10 minute opening piece 13/8 from his self released Experiments album. The track saying “this is how many beats there are today” and the rest of us can catch up or not. Music that refuses to round itself down. After that side B will flip itself like a polite pancake while you notice a detail in your soul.
First off is long time friend of the show Binaural Space with “Light In the Tunnel” from the self released album Luvisgod. Close your eyes and start walking through whatever tunnel this is.
Enjoy…

Welcome to the intermission aka the flip side. You just heard the track “13/8” by Alex Ringess. Remember If you make music, run a label, or hold a private stash of sounds that have not yet found more ears, send links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. Every submission is considered. Today’s album of the day is by Buffalo, New York’s finest pollsign and the EP Asymptote which is mastered by Michael Southard aka Time Rival and released on the super duper Triplicate Records label.
Okay, so this album. Asymptote. By the guy. Pollsign. I put it on and immediately I’m like, “What is this floaty thing doing to my brain?” It’s ambient, right? Late-night, never-quite-arrives, the line that keeps getting closer but doesn’t touch. Like when you’re trying to high-five yourself in a mirror and you keep missing and then you just start narrating it.
I listened to it twice and both times I forgot what I was supposed to be doing. That’s either a review or a cry for help. Either way, it’s good. The incomplete kind of good. The kind where the missing part is the part that makes it work.
https://pollsign.bandcamp.com/album/asymptote

The next set will feature the longest piece of the episode at just over 13 minutes. It’s hershel with the closing track from the album silent steps for a better way titled We’re almost there. Out on the one of a kind whitelabrecs. The kind of music that makes you feel like you’re walking toward a door that keeps moving back at the same speed you’re walking. This drifts into Illume by Tewksbury from the album rust/wave out on Imaginary North. When you want to drift without having to explain where you’re going. Then Sevensy + Ikipr with Delicate Morning from the album Stretch Out Above The Clouds out on the super prolific label of quality stuff Mahorka. Morning light, the early kind, before the regular light shows up and starts making plans. When you want to stretch out above whatever the clouds are doing today without having to explain. We stick with the Mahorka label for the penultimate piece by Record Of Tides and the closing track Fish Tank from the album Intercelestial. When the fish are looking at you and you want a groove that doesn’t mind coming undone. We end episode 352 with the shortest track of the day by April Emily aka ff8282 titled myla from the album taunt_taunt which will be released on November 12 on the great 4000 Records. A name someone whispered. Brazilian traditions and visceral poetry somewhere in the mix. Experimental enough that the edges don’t stay put, intimate enough that you notice when they move.
But first another long track at 9:45 by Mike Hans STEFFL and the track “sequencedARPverage” from the album average of the average out on the Aural Films label. Mikes been making music since the 70s so he knows his way around an arp. Music that has already done the math so you don’t have to.
Enjoy…

These are not playlists. Each episode is structured as a pair of continuous sets: six tracks on each side, mixed and stitched so the joins sit almost inside the grain. The sequence is the form.
If you make music, run a label, or hold a private archive of material that has not yet found a place, send links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. Every submission is heard.
The episodes remain free for the first week. After that they move into the Mixcloud subscriber archive. Subscribers also receive Veil Frequencies, the ongoing series of three-hour transmissions—extended traversals rather than selections, moving through a curtain of sound that occasionally seems to register the listener in return.
Mind the flip.

Light in the tunnel across twelve rooms. Side A opens with a light already in the tunnel, moves through a horizon that becomes narrower, a nightwalk with a librarian, sunlight that takes the long way around, a green that waits, and a 13/8 that refuses to round itself down. Side B continues with a sequenced ARP average, a walk toward a door that keeps moving, an illume, a delicate morning, a fish tank that doesn’t mind coming undone, and a myla that arrives just before the release. The joins sit inside the grain. The sequence is the form.

Light already in the tunnel, then a myla that arrives just before the release.
Side A opens the tunnel with the light already there so the eyes can close and the walking begin, narrows the horizon until the closer becomes a condition it already agrees to, walks the night with a librarian who stays quiet while the night refuses to cooperate, lets the sunlight take the long way around a patient window, waits in the green that notices the difference between being in the light and under it, and counts the 13/8 that refuses to round itself down. Side B sequences the ARP so the average is already done and no one else has to, walks toward a door that keeps moving with the steps already silent and the almost already kind, illuminates without needing the explanation, stretches a delicate morning already early and above whatever the clouds are doing, lets the fish tank come undone while the fish keep looking and the groove is fine with it, and arrives the myla just before the release with the name already whispered and the intimacy already noticed.
Overall mood: Precise, and quietly open — full of open tunnels, refused roundings, and doors that prefer to keep moving. Perfect for dusk listening, soft libraries, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.

Side A
Mood mist: light already in the tunnel, a horizon that becomes narrower, a nightwalk with a librarian, sunlight that takes the long way around, a green that waits, a 13/8 that refuses to round itself down.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 351

In The Garden.

Hi folks and welcome to episode 351 of my Virtual cassette library. At last it’s Monday and I hope you had a great weekend. Please let me know if you want something mentioned in future episodes as I do realise that social media just doesn’t connect us. I’m sending actual physical mix tapes to new subscribers or tip givers which I thought was a great idea but so far I have only managed to lose a subscriber.
Shout outs to 4000 records, aeon and Darcy Doogan for favoriting previous episodes.
Anyway on to the show. An afternoon in the garden across twelve rooms. Side A opens with silver filaments connecting us all, moves through organelles, a declaration of invincibility, a burn ’em from the LTN, a force majeure, and finally in the garden itself. Side B continues with a deadstep, an early question, an unienie on terra nullius, timbre and pulse, a red riviera, and something below the cliff. The joins sit inside the grain. The sequence is the form.
The first side will include zensor, Marek Kwiatkowski, Cries from the LTN, Fragile X and finally ,before the side flip, Sons Of Perdition.
Side B will flip itself like a polite pancake while you notice a detail in your surroundings.
Also shout outs to all the artists and labels featured in this episode.
First off is Anthony Child with “Silver Filaments Connecting Us All” from the album .
Enjoy…

Welcome to the intermission aka the flip side. You just heard the track “In The Garden” by Sons Of Perdition. Remember If you make music, run a label, or hold a private archive of material that has not yet found a place, send links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. Every submission is considered. Today’s album of the day is by Good Doom and the album Psychedelic Dungeon which is a name your price release out on their Bandcamp page.
https://gooddoom.bandcamp.com/album/psychedelic-dungeon

The next set will feature Jörgen Gustafsson, Mnemos, The Time Service, Lords of Lounge and finally to end this episode dendrofreq. But first P.G. Warren with the track “Deadstep”. Enjoy…

These are not playlists. Each episode is structured as a pair of continuous sets: six tracks on each side, mixed and stitched so the joins sit almost inside the grain. The sequence is the form.
If you make music, run a label, or hold a private archive of material that has not yet found a place, send links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. Every submission is heard.
The episodes remain free for the first week. After that they move into the Mixcloud subscriber archive. Subscribers also receive Veil Frequencies, the ongoing series of three-hour transmissions—extended traversals rather than selections, moving through a curtain of sound that occasionally seems to register the listener in return.
Mind the flip.

From silver filaments connecting us all, to something below the cliff.
Side A silvers the filaments so the connection is already made, keeps the organelles busy in a cell that already knows its theory, declares the invincibility with the signal already from the condor, burns kind for the sandwiches and cobs that are already great, makes the force majeure with the hundred already reached, and opens the garden so the sons are already among the flowers. Side B steps the deadstep among the skeletons that are already listening, arrives the early while the questions stay open, names the unienie on terra nullius already claimed, warms the timbre and steadies the pulse from the co-op, reds the riviera with the lounge already lorded, and opens the below the cliff that is already above.
Overall mood: Declared, and quietly connected — full of busy cells, open gardens, and cliffs that prefer to stay above. Perfect for dusk listening, soft lounges, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.

Side A
Mood mist: silver filaments connecting us all, organelles in cell theory, a declaration of invincibility, a burn ’em for the sandwiches and cobs, a force majeure, and finally in the garden.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 349

Inner Landscape.

Hi folks and welcome to episode 349 of my Virtual cassette library. Happy Sunday and I hope you’re having a great weekend. A massive hello to everyone at Switched on Whitby which is happening right now. As I’m back recording daily voice overs do please let me know if you want something mentioned in future episodes as I do realise that social media just doesn’t connect us in any positive ways lately. A shout out to Neil Mason of Moonbuilding weekly fame for the writeup of The Synth Co-Op Volume Two release where he threw me in as being one of the more established artists. Which goes to show you how extremely niche our little world is.There are cassettes and zines left for this release as far as I can tell. Speaking of cassettes I’m sending actual physical mix tapes to new subscribers or tip givers which I thought was a great idea but so far I have only managed to lose a subscriber.
Shout outs to WHI recordings for dropping a comment on episode 347 and to Wojciech Stecko and Traindeer for the follow.
Anyway on to the show and the first side will include Ben Eyes, Towering Vertical, Coda Nautica, Christian Fiesel and Europe in Flames.
Side B will flip itself like a polite pancake while you notice a detail in your surroundings.
Also shout outs to all the artists and labels featured in this episode.
First off is Cincinnati’s finest Ed Herbers with “Ruskaretki (feat. Chris Hobbs)” from the album Season Cycle: Autumn.
Enjoy…

These are not playlists. Each episode is structured as a pair of continuous sets: six tracks on each side, mixed and stitched so the joins sit almost inside the grain. The sequence is the form.
If you make music, run a label, or hold a private archive of material that has not yet found a place, send links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. Every submission is heard.
The episodes remain free for the first week. After that they move into the Mixcloud subscriber archive. Subscribers also receive Veil Frequencies, the ongoing series of three-hour transmissions—extended traversals rather than selections, moving through a curtain of sound that occasionally seems to register the listener in return.
Mind the flip.

A ruskaretki in autumn, then a weathering that takes its time.
Side A takes the trip already with the autumn kind, keeps Whitby wooden in the days of oak and hemp with the sail already set, blankets the sky with stratus from a cloud school already open, holds an inner landscape with the harmonics already intricate, enters a new phase where the second thought is already first, and softens the forgetting of how to breathe so the breath can remember itself. Side B carves the wooden spoon with the wood already patient, arrives the mantis with the maps already walked, keeps a tiempo propio beyond words, slumbers the glen already kind, repeats the town that is already stagnant, and weathers the triptych that is already open and taking its time.
Overall mood: Soft, and quietly patient — full of open schools, remembered breaths, and weatherings that prefer to take their time. Perfect for dusk listening, soft glens, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.

Side A
Mood mist: a ruskaretki in autumn, Whitby in the days of oak and hemp, stratus blankets from the cloud school, an inner landscape, a new phase, the forgetting of how to breathe.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 348

onward & upward.

Hi folks and welcome to onward & upward episode 348 of my Virtual cassette library. Happy Saturday and I hope your Bandcamp Friday went down in History. I myself appear on my first physical release on the mindblowing compilation Volume Two from the fantastic The Synthesis Co-Op. It’s probably a physical release I’ll never see but I’m happy that so many UK listeners get to hold it. It has a zine too. Everything is pretty much sold out after yesterdays release. There are cassettes and zines left as far as I can tell. Speaking of cassettes I’m sending actual physical mix tapes to new subscribers or tip givers which I thought was a great idea but so far I have only managed to lose a subscriber.
Anyway on to the show and the first side will include Ghostloop, Lord Cernunnos, TRAINDEER, Dave Clarkson and finally On Idyl .
Side B will flip itself like a polite pancake while you just breath.
Also shout outs to Dave Clarkson, Pablo Bilbao of Cyclical Dreams. All the artists and labels featured in the episode and the followers that have favourited the shows.
First off is Gollden with “onward & upward” from her album Sundial which was supposed to be released through the Anjunabeats label in October but seems only to be available on streaming platforms. Written and recorded during the depths of late fall and Canadian winter exploring themes of loss, grief, uncertainty, and finding your own light when everything around you begins to go dark. A fitting opener to todays episode Enjoy…

Welcome to the intermission or the flip side. You just heard the track “Cast Upon the Shores of the Unknown” by Bellingham’s finest On Idyl from that wonderful compilation The Synthesis Co-Op Volume Two of yours truely am lucky enough to share a space with 16 other amazing artists. Remember If you make music, run a label, or hold a private archive of material that has not yet found a place, send links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. Every submission is considered. The next set will feature midorinozu, Oberlin, Nick May, Ocean Moon & Silver Ley and K Man The Phantom. But first Mindheal with the track “Wish You Weren’t Here”. Enjoy…

These are not playlists. Each episode is structured as a pair of continuous sets: six tracks on each side, mixed and stitched so the joins sit almost inside the grain. The sequence is the form.
If you make music, run a label, or hold a private archive of material that has not yet found a place, send links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. Every submission is heard.

Subscribers also receive Veil Frequencies, the ongoing series of three-hour transmissions—extended traversals rather than selections, moving through a curtain of sound that occasionally seems to register the listener in return.
Mind the flip.

Onward and upward through a sundial, then an egungun among the skeletons.
Side A finds the light with the winter already behind her, lets the rain arrive after all with the distant sea kind, lifts the flying cars over a cityscape already beneath them, raises the kanashibari from dust to dawn, loses itself in an abandoned location of the British Isles, and is cast upon the shores of the unknown that is already welcoming. Side B speaks the wish that someone weren’t here so the space can open, moves the arc so the horizon is lost and found, names the Odiliengarten with the ways already further, softens the crash into a lost piece that is kept, shifts the light across prismatic fields, and dances the egungun while the skeleton listens.
Overall mood: Lifted, and quietly open — full of found light, welcoming shores, and spirits already dancing. Perfect for dusk listening, soft cityscapes, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.

Side A
Mood mist: onward and upward through a sundial, rain that arrives after all, flying cars over a cityscape, a kanashibari from dust to dawn, a loss in an abandoned location, a casting upon the shores of the unknown.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 347

Slow Stream.

Hi folks and welcome to episode 347 of my Virtual cassette library. Sorry for the background disturbance, the neighbourhs are having roofwork done. Now I’ve been too busy for the past couple of days, not that anyone has noticed. What’s been happening? Well I went to see Bitchin Bajas on Wednesday which was a mind bender in the best sense. Krautrock lives! I’ve been also asked a bunch of life reflective questions by the wonderful Brian Roach who does a great Q&A series on Substack. Our musical compatability level is off the charts. So if you like this series I recommend you check his interviews out. Also this week Robin Rimbaud, Mr. Scanner is in my neck of the woods playing with Klang Systematiek. really looking forward to that.
It’s Bandcamp Friday as if your inbox hasen’t reminded you. Go grab everything on that wishlist. Especially the pre-release for the new compilation I’m hosting called Hidden Kingdoms, which is available for two quid and already has 13 artists with still plenty of time before the release at the end of the year.
I’m also sending actual mix tapes to new subscribers or tip givers which myself and Gareth Evans aka HDRF thought was a cool idea I’ve done two cassettes and so far have only managed to lose a subscriber.
Anyway on to the show and the first side which will include Portland Vows, an exclusive track by Richard Francés who is the curator of the amazing Hylé Tapes with a track from that Hidden Kingdoms compilation that everyone’s talking about. Also Department of Light, Aiko Takahashi together with Scattered Light, luxury elite and finally Shakali.
Side B will flip itself like a polite pancake so no effort needed.
Shout outs to the followers that have favourited the shows and to Graham Thorpe and MoiCflo for commenting.
First off is Brian Omen with “Litany for ARP 2600” Enjoy…

Welcome to the intermission or the flip side. You just heard the track “thank you for calling” by luxury elite. Remember If you make music, run a label, or hold a private archive of material that has not yet found a place, send links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. Every submission is considered. The next set will feature Green-House, Spectrical. An exclusive track Consumer Electronics from an upcoming compilation titled “Motifs 2” on the rather excellent WHI Recordings label due out on November 20. Also Hiroaki Yamamoto and finally Cells Interlinked. But first Shakali with the track “Minium”. Enjoy…

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 346

Moonless Night.

Another reel of the Virtual Cassette Library begins. Twelve tracks, two sides. A virtual cassette that turns itself at the halfway mark, the oxide catching just long enough to mark the seam before the second side continues.
These are not playlists. Each episode is structured as a pair of continuous sets: six tracks on each side, mixed and stitched so the joins sit almost inside the grain. The sequence is the form.
If you make music, run a label, or hold a private archive of material that has not yet found a place, send links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. Every submission is heard.
The episodes remain free for the first week. After that they move into the Mixcloud subscriber archive. Subscribers also receive Veil Frequencies, the ongoing series of three-hour transmissions—extended traversals rather than selections, moving through a curtain of sound that occasionally seems to register the listener in return.
Mind the flip.

An afterlife lobby after seven days in the fast lane, then an invocation over silent water.
Side A opens the lobby with the fast lane already behind them and the afterlife offering tea, manages a moonless night quite well on its own, surprises the spaghetti western with its Italian dust, lights a psychedelic dungeon that is kind to the walls, grants a silver ending with moss already comfortable in the eyes, and asks about towns that answer or not as they prefer. Side B turns a life’s cycle in an ambient factory, lets the green man dance mid-step in mud lane that is pleased to be a dance floor, stripes the zebras in a savannah already wild and slightly organised, keeps the mission bedridden with the bed already part of the plan, knows the future of flowers by candlelight, and speaks the invocation over water that is already silent and listening.
Overall mood: Amused, and quietly kind — full of open lobbies, comfortable moss, and water that prefers to listen. Perfect for dusk listening, soft dungeons, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.

Side A
Mood mist: an afterlife lobby after seven days in the fast lane, a night that has misplaced its moon, a spaghetti western from Batov, a dungeon that is psychedelic, a silver ending for eyes full of moss, a question about towns.
