Deep Surface Arrival

Based on the track “Fratelli” from the album “Fourrure Sounds Vol. 3 to 6” by “DOMOTIC”.
Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. A 60 minute virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark.
A warm, eclectic, and nature-infused ambient journey that blends cosmic exploration with earthly intimacy and gentle nostalgia.
Side A flows from soulful analogue psych-jazz and wide-open horizons into playful textures, misty mountains, celestial arrivals, and deep mythological atmospheres. Side B shifts toward cosy, reflective minimalism — featuring modular whimsy, vintage warmth, cabin-bound peace, and tidal serenity.
Overall mood: Hopeful, contemplative, and gently psychedelic with a strong organic warmth. It feels like a sunlit walk through forests and fields that slowly transitions into star-gazing at dusk. Perfect for relaxed deep listening, daytime dreaming, or evening unwinding.
If you make music, or are a label, and would like to be featured, send your file links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I’d love to hear what you’re working on.
Please leave a tip and subscribe to the Mixcloud channel every little helps.
So settle in, turn it up a bit, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it.

EXPANSIVE WAVES 27

Good evening… or morning… or whatever smeared fragment of clock time you’ve drifted into today. This is EXPANSIVE WAVES 27. I’m Trevor — your host, your unreliable cartographer of the long haul, your occasional sonic conspirator.
This one’s not built for the impatient. Eight pieces. Each one stretching beyond twelve minutes. Together they uncoil for over whatever time that takes. If you came looking for hooks, drops, or anything that resembles forward motion, best to paddle elsewhere. Or just dim the lights, let the room breathe, and allow the ceiling to become a slow-moving planetarium. That works too.
We begin somewhere near the edge of pull with friend of the channel Greek super drone artist Substak and his track Gravity Lapse
Imagine You’re suspended ten feet above your childhood bedroom floor. Everything that once had weight is gently forgetting its job. Books hover. A glass of water tilts but never spills. Your pulse slows until it matches the rhythm of dust motes doing lazy cartwheels in a moonbeam.
The room exhales. Gravity gives up mid-sentence. Substak lets the low end sag like warm taffy while metallic shimmers orbit your head. Stay here. Let your bones remember they’re mostly water.

…and when the floor finally decides to forgive you…
Cells Interlinked with Drift (Summer memories about spring) from the album Cold Spring Notes released on the ever present Cyclical Dreams.
Bare feet on wet grass that hasn’t decided if it’s still spring or already drowning in summer. A bicycle with playing cards in the spokes lies on its side. Someone is laughing three houses away but you can’t tell if it’s 1997 or yesterday. Cherry blossoms fall upward into a sky the colour of melted peach ice cream.
You thought you were driving home but the road turned into a river of pollen and half-remembered songs. Cells Interlinked keeps time with your nostalgia instead of a metronome. Close your eyes. The light behind them is the exact shade of June.

Next… we step through something older than language.
The Taps Of The Holy Trinity with The Passage
(Exclusive track from the upcoming album “Customs & Rituals of…” releasing on the Fenny Compton label on the 20th of June 2026)
Think Candlelight on stone walls older than your grandparents’ grandparents. Bare feet on cold stone. A single drop of water falls every few seconds. Each drip rearranges the molecules of your thoughts. Shadows have their own shadows here.
Listen. These aren’t notes. These are permissions. The Taps Of The Holy Trinity open a door that was never meant to stay closed. Walk through slowly. Something in the dark knows the real you.

From ritual… to sealed silence.
No episode of mine, it seems, is complete without a couple of artists from the Bulgarian label Mahorka. Whom which I’ve done a four part guest show on their wonder Planck Tone series. Ivo Petrov seems to have a knack of bringing fantastic artists together the first of this episode being Toni Dimitrov + Blanket Swimming with the title track from their release Hermetic
So you’re inside a sealed glass sphere floating in deep space. No panic, just warm recognition. Your breath fogs the inside of the glass and spells out forgotten Sigils. A single bulb burns perfectly still in zero gravity. Outside, stars move like slow schools of silver fish.
Hermetic. Sealed. Complete. Two minds braided so tightly the sound has no edges anymore. Just one continuous skin of tone. You are the vessel. You are also what’s inside the vessel.

And then the paths appear… whether you asked for them or not.

Andreas Rönnquist + rsn the second piece from the Mahorka label with the track invisible paths from their album within remoteness
Midnight in an endless bamboo forest. Moonlight cuts through the stalks in perfect geometric slices. Every few steps the ground becomes a mirror. You see versions of yourself walking parallel paths you never chose.
These paths are the anywhere. Andreas and rsn hand you a lantern made of negative space. Follow it. Or don’t. The forest doesn’t mind either way.

Somewhere in the middle of nowhere, someone is still adjusting the dials…
R&D and the track Adjust the Mixture from the album, Periscope Depth, performed at The Adventurers Guild.
Think an abandoned chemical laboratory at 3:33 a.m. Beakers bubble with liquid starlight. A scientist in a lab coat keeps turning knobs that control the weather inside your ribcage. The air tastes of copper and déjà vu.
R&D mixing states of being. One part memory, two parts future, a dash of never-was. Breathe it in. Your blood is learning new colours.

And just when you think the canvas is finished…
Friend of the channel Alex Ringess with Tableau #4 from his fantastic release Analog Abstractions.
Now, you’re standing inside a fresh painting. The oils are still alive. Mountains breathe. A river of mercury reflects a sky that contains every sunset you’ve ever ignored. The frame is optional.
Alex Ringess paints the silence between sounds. Step inside Tableau #4. The perspective is wrong in the best possible way.

Final orbit…
From Sydney, Australia, Bill Astro Music and the track Fragile Orbit from the album Trinary Solitude.
A small, imperfect satellite made childhood wishes tumbling end over end around a lonely planet. One more revolution and it might kiss the atmosphere and burn beautifully. For now, it sings.
We’re all in fragile orbit. Bill Astro reminds us how lovely that is. How temporary. How perfect.

Until the next fragment of drifting time pulls us back into the same warm current… this is Trevor, signing off from EXPANSIVE WAVES 27.
Cheerio…

Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. A 60 minute virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark.
A refined and introspective ambient journey exploring inner psyche, nature, and cosmic fragility.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 219

Pinwheel Platina Devices

Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. A 60 minute virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark.
A cerebral and atmospheric ambient journey exploring mathematics, time, memory, and retro-futurism.
Side A focuses on intricate, conceptual electronics — fractal patterns, phantom signals, and philosophical reflection with a subtle undercurrent of melancholy. Side B expands into hauntological textures, time-warping analogue synths, nostalgic library sounds, and ends with dramatic tension.
Overall mood: Mysterious, introspective, and slightly uncanny. It blends intellectual minimalism with warm analogue nostalgia and a touch of unease. Ideal for deep listening, late-night drives, or focused background immersion. The mix has a strong sense of quiet wonder mixed with temporal drift.
If you make music, or are a label, and would like to be featured, send your file links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I’d love to hear what you’re working on.
So settle in, turn it up a bit, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 212

Hypnotic and dreamlike, often sitting in liminal spaces.

Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to episode 212 of the Virtual Cassette Library. This is a 60 minute virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark.
This episode is based on the track “Tower of Butterflies” by Innis Chonnel & Loris S. Sarid from the album “Looking For Mount Sylvan” which dropped on the 10th of March via The 12th Isle label. Also a massive thank you to Driftworks, Lunar Module which is the CD imprint of Castles in Space, Audiobulb, Amulet of Tears, Trem 77, and Third Kind Records for sponsoring the episode with material.
This mix carries a moody, introspective, and slightly surreal nocturnal atmosphere. It moves through themes of isolation, transformation, thresholds, and fragile beauty. There’s a strong contrast between cold urban desolation and organic, fluttering delicacy — from concrete fields and body worms to towers of butterflies and sunlit solitude. The overall feeling is hypnotic and dreamlike, often sitting in liminal spaces (half-awake, melting forms, interrupted signals), with a subtle undercurrent of unease balanced by moments of quiet wonder and graceful movement.
If you make music, or are a label, and would like to be featured, send your file links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I’d love to hear what you’re working on.
So settle in, turn it up a bit, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it.

00:10:33 Saïph – Psyché du figurant (128)
Abstract, hypnotic ambient/electronic exploration. Minimal rhythms and fragmented textures probe the psyche of an anonymous background figure—detached and surreal.
00:13:10 Ida Urd & Ingri Høyland– Melting Cubes
Fluid, dissolving ambient with geometric forms gradually breaking down. Soft, melting tones and crystalline details create a beautiful, impermanent sonic sculpture.
00:15:24 Future Children – New mythology part 3

00:22:18 The Black Dog – Sleep Deprivation 39: Threshold Ov Wakefulness

Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to episode 211 of the Virtual Cassette Library. This is a 60 minute virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark.
This episode is based on the track “Ghosted” by Lone Cosmonaut from the name your price EP “Ghosted” which dropped on the 21st of May via The Committee for Sonic Research label.

It feels like floating through starlit skies, abandoned satellites, and warm summer nights — equal parts cosmic isolation and comforting analogue warmth.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 209

Minimal and focused, it unfolds with quiet intensity and subtle structural beauty.

Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to episode 209 of the Virtual Cassette Library. This is a 60 minute virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark.
This episode is based on the track “Lectures on Radio Telegraphy” by Andrew Heath from the upcoming album “Airships & Aeronauts” which drops on the 5th of June via the Driftworks label. Also a massive thank you to See Blue Audio, FOLK POLICE RECORDINGS, whitelabrecs, Mystery Circles, Imaginary North and Mahorka for sponsoring the episode with material.
This is a gentle, introspective journey through soft melancholy and quiet wonder. It feels like a slow, overcast spring day — hazy light, light rain on umbrellas, fading golden-hour glow, and the comforting solitude of hidden places. There’s a pervasive sense of transition and impermanence (spring haze, last light, aftermath, phantom presence), balanced by moments of serene beauty and meditative calm. The atmosphere is warm yet wistful, organic and slightly ghostly, inviting deep reflection without ever becoming dark or heavy.
If you make music, or are a label, and would like to be featured, send your file links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I’d love to hear what you’re working on.
So settle in, turn it up a bit, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it.

Intimate, reflective piece from The Lost Catalogue. Soft, rainy-day collages of field recordings and warm drones capture sheltered, contemplative moments under grey skies.
00:16:53 Julien Hauspie – Last Light
Gentle, fading ambient with cinematic warmth. Delicate layers evoke the final golden rays of daylight—poignant, peaceful, and beautifully transient.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 205

Open-hearted, wistful, and emotionally rich with a strong cinematic feel.

Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to episode 205 of the Virtual Cassette Library – music from all over the world, sparked by a single track that sets the tone for the set. This is a 60 minute virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark. If and when I get a couple more subscribers then I’ll go back to doing 90 minute versions, complete with commentary.
This episode is based on the track “mabel” by Linear North from the album “We Thought It Was Normal”. Shout out to Linear North for sending me the album. Also shoutouts to Mystery Circles, Mahorka, Cyclical Dreams, Imaginary North and Rupert Lally for sponsoring the channel with material.
Also thanks to CommsBreakdown for being the latest artists to appear on the upcoming compilation The Mystery of the Night. There’s still time to get yours in. June 24th is the deadline.
This is a flowing mix of expansive ambient, emotional introspection, and gentle cinematic storytelling.
Side A opens with wide-open airy landscapes and healing warmth before moving through melancholic waltzes, intricate rhythms, and reflective urban tones. Side B brings playful quirkiness, hazy nostalgia, romantic filmic moments, and closes with darker, ritualistic depth.
Overall mood: Open-hearted, wistful, and emotionally rich with a strong cinematic feel. It shifts from bright, spacious hopefulness into warmer nostalgia and subtle darkness — ideal for thoughtful listening, road trips, or evening reflection. Intimate yet expansive with lovely emotional range.
If you make music, or are a label, and would like to be featured, send your file links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I’d love to hear what you’re working on.
So settle in, turn it up a bit, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it.
No breaks, just the music.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 204

Fragile, emotive ambient with lingering tones and a sense of hopeful suspension. Touching and vulnerable.

Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to episode 204 of the Virtual Cassette Library – music from all over the world, sparked by a single track that sets the tone for the set. This is a 60 minute virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark. If and when I get a couple more subscribers then I’ll go back to doing 90 minute versions, complete with commentary.
This episode is based on the track “Please Hold On” by Exit chamber out on the amazing Passed Recordings who are also featured with an Ed Herbers entry. Also shout outs to whitelab recs, Lo Recordings and 4000 records as well as free album codes for being awesome.
A deeply meditative and emotionally resonant ambient journey focused on introspection, space, and gentle melancholy.
Side A flows from soft, hazy summer drifts and weightless cosmic reductions into sun-baked road imagery and warm organic minimalism. Side B expands into vast harmonic depths, shadowy intimacy, fragile emotion, and powerful cosmic gravity.
Calm, spacious, contemplative, and quietly moving. Perfect for deep listening, late-night reflection, or moments of solitude. Intimate yet expansive, with a beautiful balance of warmth and ethereal distance.
If you make music, or are a label, and would like to be featured, send your file links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I’d love to hear what you’re working on.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 203

Pastoral, folk-tinged hauntology with warm analogue tones and gentle countryside feel.

Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to episode 203 of the Virtual Cassette Library – music from all over the world, sparked by a single track that sets the tone for the set.
