Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 324
Hello there, listeners. It’s me. Trevor.
You’ve pressed play on another Virtual Cassette Library. Twelve tracks. Two sides. A little plastic ghost that flips itself at the halfway mark, like a polite pancake.
If you make music, or you run a label, or you simply own a shed full of strange noises and would like them filed somewhere warm, send your links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I read every one. Promise. I read them with both eyes and, on special occasions, a third one.
The shows stay free for the first week, wandering about with their shoelaces undone. After that they slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have over eleven hundred other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes, which in my experience is usually Tuesdays, or during eclipses, or when the kettle boils. Subscribers also receive the expanding series of three-hour adventures titled Veil Frequencies, which is less a mixtape and more a long walk through a curtain that may be sentient.
Now. Each of these episodes is a two-part outing, just like the classic cassette. Unlike mixtapes or playlists, these two sides are curated as proper DJ sets, six tracks segued into one continuous mix, stitched together so carefully you can barely see the thread. Unless you look.
I hope you enjoy the adventure. Mind the flip.
A water lily at a threshold, then a seven that has already shifted south.
Side A opens the door on a nymphaea before the official date, shares fear, rage and love in under a minute, walks the warm marble of a city still standing in the name, lets the wind keep both hands in its pockets and still carry you, files roots under a clause, and blushes a 1970 library record with the flute still warm. Side B marries a rope to itself, lets undesignated buildings prefer to meet, studies a field still learning the season, treats the tuning as the piece, lets the night accept the fire, and turns seven toward the warmer wall.
Overall mood: Contemplative, slightly tender, and quietly architectural — full of thresholds, pencil blueprints, and gardens that leave the gate open. Perfect for dusk listening, fields still learning the season, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.
Mood mist: a water lily at a threshold, three feelings in under a minute, a city of marble still standing in the name, a wind that kept us, roots under a clause, a library record blushing in 1970.
00:02:18 (Exclusive) Corrado Saija and Elia Piana – Nymphaea II
https://driftworks.bandcamp.com/
Album: Limen. Label: Driftworks Full release – Friday 16th October
Limen — the threshold. Piano talking to algorithms, stone porous, water fluent. Driftworks opening the door on the 16th. You may step through now.
00:08:15 Concretism – Fear, Rage, and Love
https://iheartnoise.bandcamp.com/track/concretism-fear-rage-and-love
Album: IHN019 // Gone in 60 Seconds – Vol. 5. Label: I Heart Noise
Gone in sixty seconds, which is plenty for three weathers of the heart. I Heart Noise letting them share the minute.
00:09:01 Still & JRNDM – EFESO
https://pablosanguinetti.bandcamp.com/track/efeso
Ephesus, the marble still warm in the name. A library of columns, and the groove walking between them.
00:11:56 Scholars of the Peak & Warmfield – The Way the Wind Held Us
https://warmfield.bandcamp.com/track/the-way-the-wind-held-us
Single: The Way the Wind Held Us.
Title of the hour. A single that keeps both hands in its pockets and still manages to carry you.
00:15:05 Subordinate Clause – Cafraster
https://meansmag.bandcamp.com/track/cafraster
Album: MEANS 7: Grass Roots. Label: MEANS
Grass roots, the clause under the sentence. MEANS filing the soil with the syntax.
00:19:07 Larry Manteca – EROTICA
https://fourfliesrecords.bandcamp.com/track/erotica
Album: Erotica 70. Label: Four Flies Records
Seventy, restored. Four Flies lifting the velvet and finding the flute still warm.
Mood mist: a rope married to itself, buildings that prefer to meet, a field still learning the season, a tuning that is the piece, a night glad of the flame, a seven that has already shifted south.
00:23:10 Nickolas Mohanna – Eye Splice
https://nickolasmohanna.bandcamp.com/track/eye-splice
Album: Whistler.
The knot that lets a rope become its own companion. Whistler, the note you hear when the air is pleased.
00:29:58 The Architect – Formations and Collisions
https://theastralrealms.bandcamp.com/track/formations-and-collisions
Album: Undesignated. Label: The Dream Journal Institute
Undesignated, which is a fine category for a dream. The Journal keeping the blueprint in pencil.
00:37:10 Kiu Siu – In Spring
https://thejewelgarden.bandcamp.com/track/in-spring
Album: Field Studies, Volume 5. Label: The Jewel Garden
Field studies, volume five, the season arriving with its pockets full of green. The Jewel Garden leaving the gate open.
00:48:46 Ótal – Tuning Study
https://thejewelgarden.bandcamp.com/track/tuning-study
Album: Field Studies, Volume 5. Label: The Jewel Garden
The same garden, a few beds along. The piece is the tuning. The Jewel Garden letting the string find itself.
00:57:43 Black Sun High Desert – The Night Accepts The Fire
https://blacksunhighdesert.bandcamp.com/track/the-night-accepts-the-fire
Album: The Weight Of The Night Sky.
The weight of the night sky, glad of the company. A desert holding both.
00:59:44 Mark Donlon – Seven
https://sermakmusic.bandcamp.com/track/seven
Album: Label: SERMAK MUSIC
Southern shift, the number already facing the warmer wall. Sermak keeping the count.
