EXPANSIVE WAVES — EPISODE 23 11 February 2026 Good evening, or morning, or whatever fragment of time you’ve found yourself in. This is Expansive Waves, episode twenty-three. I’m Trevor—your host, your guide, your occasional sonic conspirator. Tonight’s programme is not for the hurried. Eight pieces, each longer than 12 minutes—most stretching far beyond that—each more patient than the last. If you’re expecting choruses, drops, or anything resembling urgency, you may want to try another channel. So, settle in. Let the kettle boil. Let the cat sleep. Let the world spin without you for a while. We begin with a vast, unfolding live session that feels like drifting through forgotten orbital debris.
This is Secret Nuclear with Omega Redux. A NYP 45-minute live recording of six pieces from last summer, first heard on Kate Bosworth’s DARK TRAIN radio show. Broadcast on 21 July 2025. Layered with approach vectors, shadows, and extended consoles. Breathe it in.
That was Secret Nuclear, Omega Redux, straight from WHI Recordings. If you’re just joining us, this is Expansive Waves 23. No rush. We’re only getting started. Next, another fresh live capture and another NYP release as that is what this channels budget allows, from the legends who practically invented this space. Recorded last August in Poland. Another long one at 32 and a half minutes. Tangerine Dream — Katowice Session 2025. Over half an hour of pulsing sequences, violin drifts, and piano echoes. Let it carry you.
Tangerine Dream, live from Katowice. Timeless, isn’t it? We’re about a third through the evening now, but time doesn’t really apply here. From Pennsylvania, a solitary reflection on endings and endurance. Matthew Nowik — (we have) 5 years left. A slow-burning meditation on what might remain. Synth layers that feel like watching clouds dissolve. Another NYP release. I feel a pattern forming here.
Matthew Nowik. Quiet truth there in every sustain. Thanks for staying with me. We move to Greece now. Piano meeting granular skies. Giannis Gogos — Ambedo (part 2). Twenty-one minutes of attentive stillness from the recent Ambedo release on Whitelabrecs. The quiet attention that art still needs. This is not a NYP release as whitelabrec sponsors the channel with the best ambient releases out there.
Giannis Gogos. Ambedo—sinking into the moment until the edges blur. Shifting tones now. A sense of deep belonging amid the haze. Cries from the LTN — Belonging To. Title track from the EP. Extended, enveloping, like finding home in the drift. Shout out to Marcus from Cries from the LTN for sending this in. The EP is an innovative audio-visual collaboration between Birmingham based contemporary artist Tara Harris and experimental musical ensemble Cries From the LTN.
Cries from the LTN. Belonging isn’t always loud. From Meanjin/Brisbane, Australia—a wavelength tamer reworking melancholy into vast space. Inspired by a single, heartbreaking scene from The Sopranos. This is the track doir from the new album No Statue, freshly re-recorded after life turned sideways. Raw, drenched in melancholy. Monumental. Released just yesterday on 4000 records. ff8282 — doir.
ff8282 there with the sparkling new release No Statue that was the longest piece doir. Six tracks gone. Only two remaining. The shortest track of the episode now and only just making the 12 minute cut at 12:12. Cassette territory next. Black Pylon’s world of field recordings and calls. This is Corvid One Cassette — MOBBING CALLS. From the album Two. Corvids circling, warnings in the air, stretched into drone. This is the second release from the label Black Pylon. Definitely a label to follow and watch out for.
Corvids know something we don’t. Maybe that’s why it lingers. And now, as we approach the final silence, a few words before we vanish again. Thanks for sticking around. Really. These episodes aren’t designed for mass consumption, and neither are you. I’ll be back when the wind changes or the tape runs out—whichever comes first. No schedule, no promises. Waves, that’s all we have. If you liked what you heard, support the artists. Buy their music. Whisper their names into the void. It helps. You can stream this episode on Mixcloud at djsofabed/expansive-waves-23, and find all the links and credits on the episode page at trevor.se. Drop a comment if you feel moved. Or don’t. Silence is underrated. Until next time—stay resonant, stay expansive, and let the soundtrack of the universe find you. And finally, as we near the horizon—an unreleased study, fresh from Adventurous Music. Out in a few days, but you hear it here first. Unless you’re listening after February 16th. Iván Muela — Drone Study X. From the forthcoming Ibidem II. Pure, patient exploration.
“Evening all. Episode one-four-eight of the Virtual Cassette Library. Subtitled Cook Hobble Recruited. That’s the track you can hear underneath, and, oddly enough, it’s also a location you can find on a map. I filmed it—up on YouTube if you’re curious.” “I’m Trevor. Bringing you ninety minutes, two virtual sides, forty-five minutes each. Fifteen tracks per set. No chatter, no interruptions. Just the music, rolling on like a festival stage that turns—one act fading, another coming into view.” This episode has an exclusive track Karesansui by Wellington, New Zealand based artist CZiGO. Karesansui means “dry landscape” or “dry mountain water” and refers to a minimalist style of Japanese garden that uses rocks, gravel, and sand to represent natural landscapes like mountains, islands, and rivers without any water. These gardens, often found in Zen Buddhist temples, are designed for contemplation and meditation, symbolizing natural elements through careful arrangement and raked gravel patterns that mimic water. Karesansui is from the upcoming album Techno Feudal which drops December 12 on Machine Records. ” New friends joining us this episode like, Übung, Elastic colors, WarpCensor and Dissociative Identity Quartet.
