Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape. Trevor here. You’ve just pressed play on another fragile spool of the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 274. A twelve-track virtual cassette that flips itself at the halfway mark, whether you’re ready or not. If you make music, or run a label, and fancy a place in the library, send your links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I read every one. Promise. Tips and subscriptions keep the reels turning. Every little helps the library stay open after dark. A textured, slightly nocturnal ambient journey through quiet intensity, natural shifts, and digital calm. Side A moves from prowling glass and sea changes into moonlight grass, barrel flowers, reduced beats, and deep geological time. Side B drifts through wormeries, rushing ascent, liquid amber circles, grid edges, digital meditation, and ends on an old road. Overall mood: Contemplative, atmospheric, and gently dynamic — blending organic warmth with subtle tension and quiet modern stillness. Perfect for late-evening listening, deep focus, or peaceful immersion. I’ll introduce Side A now. Side B will wait for the intermission, as is tradition. The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have 1,101 other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes. Subscribers also receive the expanding series Veil Frequencies, recorded floor-by-floor inside the 24 buildings of a place called the Resonant Veil Enclave. They also get the ever-growing advance version of the forthcoming compilation Quiet Figures. Side A On this episode you’ll hear the sprawling and inventive side-project of Suncastle’s George Evans and Kristofer Thomas aka Paris Texas who together call themselves Glass Roots. Yes it’s an older release from 2020 but as it’s on Triplicate records it means that it’s Name Your Price on Bandcamp. Which suits my unimployed world. Anyway the track is a stomping Idm piece titled “Panther Loud” from the album “The Idiot”. Go grab it for as little as you can. Then a dose of slapped bass in a wonderful track titled “Sea Change” by friend of the shows Emily Sobool, aka Socool who has teamed up with Paul Griffin and released a collection of tunes under the name “Dreams & Riddles” Next, another team up with Elizabeth Joan Kelly aka Orca and David Rodriguez aka Attack! with a highly original piece titled “Grass In The Moonlight” which is a great name so I think I’ll title this episode after it. It’s from a release out on the Mortality Tables label called, yes “Grass In The Moonlight”. This will be followed by, would you believe it?, another duo in the form of Ali O’May and Frazer Brown as Dohnavùr and a captivating synth adventure titled “Flowers In The Barrel” from their latest release “We Owe Each Other Everything” which you can get on vinyl from that Castles In Space that’s in everyones library. After that, not a another duo, o no, a Leeds based act of unknown numbers. Active between 1993-1994 called Adel Music Club. You’ll be treated to some sweet drum breaks and bongos or highly tuned congas in the track titled “Break Beats Nothing” from the release called “Golden Acres” out on the channel supporting FRBH Recordings. Closing Side A is of course another duo. A name all of you know and are probably a bit tired of after this release. It is of course Boards of Canada with the wonderfully wobbly track “Deep Time” from their latest gem “Inferno”. That’s on vinyl in my collection and is available through Warp Records. But first, to set the vibe: Glass Roots and Panther Loud. Now settle in. Turn it up just a little. Let’s see where the tape takes us. One side flip. Just the music. Side B Welcome back, sonic travellers. Six tracks down. Six still waiting. You’ll hear a founder of Triplicate Records, Mr. Michael Southard aka Time Rival and an exclusive, I dare say, from his Bandcamp subscription library titled “Rush Up” from the album “stay safe out there“ which has an official release on the 2nd of October. Then, speaking of Triplicate Records and their amazing back catalogue I’m playing Belial Pelegrim and an enchanting track titled “Circle of Liquid Ambers”. from the 2020 album “Torus”. Next. No episode of TVCL would be complete without a dose of modular tweakings. We head to another channel supporting label Paris based Hylé Tapes and the artist Aurel Val with the track “Grid’s End” from the album “Mods-1”. Go grab one of the 7 remaining cassettes on Hylé Tapes. Near the end we travel to Genoa, Italy with a downtempo summer vibe piece by artist Brioskj titled “Digital Meditation” from the EP The Persuaders! And that’s another Name Your Price release from Finlands finest label: Kahvi Collective. And finally, a real exclusive track from a true friend of the show. A gentleman fond of words and espicially dialects. Mr. Graham Thorpe who of course is better know as gribbles at least for now. Keep an eye out for upcoming stuff in his own name. Anyway I’m playing a Lemon Jelly flavoured track titled “Owd Roa (Part)” from an upcoming release titled “Agatewards” dropping on boutique label Yellowbelly Records on the 4th of September. Keep an eye out for that. But first, another exclusive, that makes three for this episode! That deserves a subscription from someone out there does it not? Anyway, this is an amazing piece of audio art by Imogen Haley Baker who calls herself Enofa, and a rather haunted track titled “The Wormery” from an album called “Small Modernist House in Woodland Setting” which was sent to me by the wonderful Dan Seville, who runs the equally wonderful Subexotic Records. That will be released on double LP black vinyl from the 14th of August. According to the blurb for this release, Imogen made close to a hundred different pieces of music. A lot of htem, she says, will probably stay on her hard drive for decades. Well if you’re listening Imogen, yoou could enter one in for my quiet figures compilation. Anyway Enjoy…

Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here. Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 255. A 12 track virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark. 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. A gentle, nature-infused, and introspective ambient journey through seasons, plants, and storytelling. Side A flows from sunny rain and clear ambiguity into fleeting glimpses, resigned beauty, and rhythmic patterns. Side B gathers around campfires, buoys, synesthetic storms, momentary drifts, and golden mystical pillars. Overall mood: Warm, contemplative, and quietly wondrous with a strong connection to nature and emotion. Perfect for deep relaxation, morning listening, or peaceful reflection. Episode 255 is based on the track “Buoy.” by “Willebrant” from the release “Selected Works – Slowed and Reverb, Volume 2”. Which Australian artist Karl Willebrant sent me a couple of days back. The track is over 13 minutes long so it should be on an episode of Expansive Waves which is my long form music show. For the moment that’s on hold as I don’t have the will to do one. Mainly from lack of time but also from having to pay for the shows myself as I’m still, after years of trying, missing 2 subscribers from the channel in order to get a payout from Mixcloud. It’s super frustrating dangling on that edge for so long. Anyway a massive shout out to Richard Francés of Hylé Tapes for sending me their catalogue of wonderful releases. You’ll be hearing lots from Hylé Tapes in the near future. In other news, Substak has entered a track for my next compilation release “Quiet Figures”. Get your entry in before September 24th and join him and The Earl of Dean. Details on the Bandcamp page.

Brussels based Jonathan Poliart gets another play from his release as well as Paris based Simon Cacheux both out on Adventurous Music. The wonderful Mahorka label features, as usual, with a piece by Auto-nomaton. Also the fantastic collaboration of zakè, Ossa, ASC with a release on zakés own Bandcamp page. Ending the episode is Danish artist øjeRum with a release on Lithuanian label Amulet of Tears who has also supported the channel with loads of releases. But first out to start the ball rolling Toronto based artist Chad Skinner also known as Sun Rain with his track May from the Imaginary North release Lake Effect: Quiet Music From Toronto.

Good evening, or morning, or whatever sliver of the clock you’ve washed up in. This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, episode one hundred and seventy-five. I’m Trevor, here again, turning over another worn cassette in the dim glow, letting the oxide whisper its secrets. These tapes arrive unmarked most times, or with labels half-peeled, but they carry traces—field recordings folded into drone, synths that drift like low cloud over northern latitudes, breaks that nod to libraries long since catalogued and forgotten, post-rock edges softened by reverb tails, psych undercurrents that never quite surface, ambient excursions that refuse to resolve. Scotland lingers in a few of these grooves, Cologne breathes through one, Italy scatters light across another, while others seem to come from no fixed place at all, just coordinates lost between sleep and map. No rush tonight. Twenty pieces, two sides, a flip when the spool runs thin. If the kettle needs boiling, let it. If the room grows cold, pull something closer. The world can wait outside the door. It’s a special Saturday here in Sweden and marks the start of the Melody Festival. Which, however you feel about it makes the long winter up here bearable. How ever you feel about the music represented. Now back to this outing. First, something that moves like light through leaves in late winter. Camouflage by Kraft, from the Bureau B 2025 release on Bureau B. A gentle, sensual, unfurling, synths breathing slow. Headphones on, let time dissolve and let the frequencies claim you. Camouflage – Kraft. Now Lo Five with STORY, pulled from Superdank on Lunar Module. A definite nod to the ORB, A pumping beat over child spoken narrative and House stabs. STORY – Lo Five. Now taking us way down. E J R M offers Pitter Patter, part of Solar Return – Gollden Hour Mix on Imaginary North. Glistening drones that patter like rain on tin, layered with distant chords. Pitter Patter – E J R M. Now staying in Droneville. Wil Bolton and David Cordero together for Starlight Breeze, from How to Make Sense of Downtime on the Home Normal label. Notes drift against soft drones, a breeze indeed. Starlight Breeze – Wil Bolton & David Cordero. Now a shot one, 1:25 to be exact. Tim Story and Cafe Kaputt, taken from Buzzle on Curious Music. Melancholic Mellotron keys and a Hugh Hopper style bass, in a room that’s emptying slowly. Cafe Kaputt – Tim Story. The longest piece for the episode at 8 minutes. Droning Cats with NRV bring Dreams with Claws, from Cartography of Sleep on Barcelona based See Blue Audio. Claws sheathed in haze, dreams that scratch gently. Bobbling bass which sounds like it’s being played by the tide. and sparse porch friendly guitar lines. Dreams with Claws – Droning Cats with NRV. Caer Sgàil, from Scotland, with It’s The People We Choose (Exit Chamber’s Choose Wisely Remix), off It’s The Remixes We Choose EP on Caer Sgàil’s Bandcamp. Deep, shadowed rework, piano buried in mist. It’s The People We Choose (Exit Chamber’s Choose Wisely Remix) – Caer Sgàil. And now for something completely different. Modern Sound Quartet and Bucaneve, from Italian Library Breaks on Four Flies Records. Breaks with a Mediterranean lightness, snow in name only. Italian library jazz fusion from the 70s. Bucaneve – Modern Sound Quartet. Another longer track at 7:39. Andrea Cichecki offers When We Close Our Eyes, shared with track that follows by Tangent Universes on Connected 3 via I u we Records. Eyes closed, the world turns inward, synths cradle the shift. When We Close Our Eyes – Andrea Cichecki. And right beside it, Tangent Universes with A Suit Of Leaves, also from Connected 3 on I u we Records. Leaves rustling in some parallel season. A Suit Of Leaves – Tangent Universes. Time to turn the tape. Listen for the clunk, the hiss, the moment the mechanism catches.
We open Side B. Ekin Fil with bump, from Bora Boreas on Dutch label Dronarivm. Delicate, almost fragile, yet it lingers. bump – Ekin Fil. Now the perfect track for the moment as I’m recording this on Saturday morning. Wooden Tape and Saturday Morning, lifted from the MCPM018 Compilation Album on Moolakii Club Audio Interface label. Sun through curtains, coffee cooling, a cassette morning. Saturday Morning – Wooden Tape. Another Mellotron now. Osees deliver The Ceiling, released as a single. Garage-psych softened at the edges. Like early Floyd crossed with Cardiacs. The Ceiling – Osees. Next some original indie thinking. Foxwarren with Strange, off 2 on Anti- Records. Folk that tilts strange, sampled classic movie strings and bubbling bass. Strange – Foxwarren. Next Andrew Wasylyk featuring Gruff Rhys on The Cold Collar, from Irreparable Parables on the immaculate Clay Pipe Music label. Wonderful story telling. The Cold Collar (Feat. Gruff Rhys) – Andrew Wasylyk. Eafhm presents Luzne (Part l), from Eafhm – Luzne on Secuencias Temporales. Percussive world techno. Part one unfolds slow, light on water perhaps.

Geese arrive with Bow Down, from Getting Killed on their Bandcamp. Post-punk angles, heads bowed in rhythm. Bow Down – Geese. And now, as the reels slow and the tape flaps loose at the end, a few words before the silence claims us again. Thanks for staying with it. These shows aren’t built for quick glances or playlists on shuffle. They’re for the long sit, the slow listen. If anything here stayed with you, find the artists, buy the records, send them a signal through the ether. It matters. This one streams free for seven days on Mixcloud—link below, or at trevor.se, where the credits live too. Comments welcome, or none at all. Silence has its own frequency. Until the next tape finds its way onto the deck—stay resonant, stay expansive, let the waves carry what they will. Finally, Jens Pauly with Naab, from his work on the great Whitelabrecs. Field lines drawn in Cologne air, quiet testimony. This is Trevor, signing off. Cheerio…

“Hello, Trevor here, and this is episode one‑six‑four of the Virtual Cassette Library. Today’s theme is Retain Happier Obeyed—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. On the A side there’s an exclusive by Foster Neville titled, Mow Cop, from the album, Through Lands Of Ghosts. Dropping on the 16th of January via Subexotic Records. On the B side there’s a sort of exclusive by Hendekagon. Who’ve done a magical soundtrack to accompany the book Die Verschiebung der Zeit (The shift in time) by Corina Retzlaff out on Adventurous Music. Also the track, Magical Interval, by John Haughey & Tarotplane is from their up coming Woodford Halse release called, WF 98 – Errata. 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. 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.”

Now, there’s a little game running through these episodes starting with this episode. Each week, during the intermission, you’ll hear a number. Scribble it down. After ten shows, 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, if you’re counting, 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’ve got it right. Later on, we’ll hear Jarguna, Odile Bruckert, and Henrik Meierkord weaving textures somewhere between drone and kosmische; Daniel Vincent and Rick Sanders sketching out their own universes; Camp of Wolves from Lunar Module; Onepointwo with melodies that feel like they’ve always been there; Cole Pulice drifting through saxophone dreamscapes on Moon Glyph; and MICADO with a Berlin School ambient dream courtesy of Cyclical Dreams. On the flip side, Raica on Silver Threads, Lorna Dune, Signalstoerung with Asja Skrinik on Adventurous Music, Jordane Prestrot from France, and a piece of my own as Trevlad alongside Masefield Labs and gribbles. Fisty Kendal, Floormat Doormat, frostlake from Sheffield, Tom Bragl on Kahvi Collective, Kutiman and Ouzo Bazooka with a desert groove from Batov Records, Dual Dialect climbing pyramids, and Ghost In The Loop from Imaginary North. It’s ambient, drone, kosmische, experimental pop, modular synths, hauntology, global funk, and a bit of humour thrown in. 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: Craig Padilla, Calypsos Improv Live 2011…”
