Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 158

“Hello, I’m Trevor, and this is episode one-five-eight of the Virtual Cassette Library. Today’s theme is Script Pans Heeding—which, as usual, is both the track you’re hearing underneath and a location you can find on a map, if you’re the sort who enjoys chasing coordinates on What3Words.
We’ve got ninety minutes ahead—two sides, fifteen tracks each. Some names you’ll know, some you won’t, and that’s half the fun. Sussex Telecom opens with Snek, Edward Givens brings us a white stag from monochrome motif, and CommsBreakdown offers an underwater edit to help you empty your mind. There’s ambient techno from Hz, spectral sculpture from Karl Schoenberg on Cyclical Dreams, and a lullaby from International Telecom & victory over death.
Now then, starting back on episode 156, there’s a little cipher game running through the series. Each episode, during the intermission, you’ll hear a number. Scribble it down. After ten episodes, you’ll have the full sequence. Put the pieces together, crack the cipher, and you’ll unlock a code that knocks ninety-five percent off anything on my Bandcamp page. Which means you can scoop up the whole discography for about two quid. It’s not meant to be difficult—just enough to keep you awake at night wondering if you’ll get it right.
Later on, we’ll hear Heather Woods Broderick, Local Sound Developer, Xu, Bryan Rohmer, and Visible Light. I’ve slipped in a track of my own—Sonic Ritual—and we close the A side with Matsu’s Refugio.
On the flip side, Mitseliy brings us The Last Rays, Solvent clusters the circuits, and Hello Meteor blooms on impact. There’s glitch from Synthetic Villains, ambient drift from anthéne, and a tempest from Wilfried Hanrath. Pietro Zollo, Gallery Six, Weldroid, City Of Dawn, and Hainbach & Simon Spiess round out the journey.
It’s ambient, cinematic, hauntological, modular, dubby, glitchy, and occasionally noisy. The sort of thing you might stumble across late at night on a shortwave dial, wondering if you imagined it.
So—headphones on, let time dissolve, and let the music claim you. First track up: Sussex Telecom, Snek…”
