EXPANSIVE WAVES 25
26 March 2026
Good evening… or morning… or whatever fragment of time you’ve found yourself floating in. This is Expansive Waves, episode twenty-five. I’m Trevor—your host, your guide, your occasional sonic conspirator.
This programme is not for the hurried. Eight pieces. Each longer than twelve 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. Or just turn the volume down and stare at the ceiling. That works too.
Massive shout out to Iso Brown on Mixcloud, who spotlighted the show and sent a fresh wave of new followers crashing in. Welcome, newcomers. I usually mention new followers but out of the 200 new followers I’m guessing that maybe one or two will like or comment, but if you do I will mention you and your channel in the next episode. I hope you enjoy the many strange faces of these outings—independent artists, leftfield corners, music that refuses to be in a rush.
We begin with what has been described as the album of the year so far.
Deep Earth Network – Land 2
https://richardnorris.bandcamp.com/track/land-2
Ancient soil breathing through cracked speakers while forgotten BBC voices whisper about ley lines and the first gods who were mostly moss.
So settle in. Let the kettle boil. Let the cat sleep on your chest like a small, warm dictator. Let the world spin without you for a while.
That was Land 2 by Deep Earth Network from the EP Land out on the Republic of Music label.
JSF – Time And Space, Compressed

Michael Brückner – A Sequence of Colours – Parts 8

That was Avulsing Prometheus by Projet -> Renard) Ost) who are Maxence Dubroca, Anita Franz & Simon Gris. This was from the album Jump Badger Jump.
And so the waves recede for another evening. Eight long forms. Eight patient unfoldings. If any of these pieces resonated in the quiet corners, you’ll find links to the artists and albums on the episode page at trevor.se and in the Mixcloud comments.
Feel free to leave a thought on the Mixcloud timeline. A sentence. A sigh. A single emoji that somehow says everything.
Until the next fragment of time pulls us back together… this is Trevor, signing off from Expansive Waves, episode twenty-five.
We end with 46 minutes from
DaFou – Time passing by, from the album Berlin Transit also out on Cyclical Dreams

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 184
08 March 2026
Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
Welcome to Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, Episode 184, your virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. As per usual we’ll dive into 20 artists. All the shows have three word subtitles for places that have some meaning for me personally. These are also used as names for the background music in show intros and outros. This episodes’ subtitle is notes.seaweed.rashers and is the geolocation of a rather good Sushi joint in Bromma Stockholm, Takumi Ramen & Sushi, which serves Burrito sushi rolls. Anyway, These episodes drop about three times a week with no fixed schedule—just pure passion for independent music. So do follow the Mixcloud page and the socials to stay up to date. Picture yourself settling into a cozy nook overlooking a misty ocean, cassette player in hand, as we embark on this auditory journey.
