Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 213
A deep, introspective, and emotionally rich ambient journey focused on surrender, melancholy, and cosmic introspection.
Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to episode 213 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 “Cold Spring Day” by Cells Interlinked from the album “Cold Spring Notes” which dropped on the 22nd of May via the legendary Cyclical Dreams label. Also a massive thank you to Altus Music, 4000 Records, whitelabrecs, Woodford Halse, DRONARIVM, Fonodroom, Cyclical Dreams, Substak, and David Cordero of Noray Records for sponsoring the episode with material.
A deep, introspective, and emotionally rich ambient journey focused on surrender, melancholy, and cosmic introspection.
Side A drifts from blissful release and hypnotic pulses into raw emotional fragility, quiet nocturnal stillness, and nostalgic longing. Side B expands into airy renewal, majestic astral voyages, fading luminescence, and grounding harmonic weight.
Overall mood: Contemplative, melancholic, and spacious with a strong sense of emotional depth and solitude. It feels like drifting through late-night thoughts, faded memories, and vast inner/outer space — perfect for deep listening, meditation, or quiet reflective moments. Intimate yet expansive, with a beautifully somber and serene atmosphere.
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 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.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 193
17 April 2026
Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
Hey.
Welcome.
This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library. Episode one-nine-three.
We’re still pretending it’s a radio show for the sonically adventurous.
But really it’s just me and the frequencies in an empty apartment while the world outside forgets we exist.
Stream it free for seven days on Mixcloud.
The background track is available on Trevlad’s TVCL 11 on Bandcamp.
The episodes are sonic journeys with metaphysical flips at the halfway mark — perfect for long walks, mental wanders, or quiet moments alone with the universe.
We’re bunching it today — three transmissions at a time. Like weird little dreams stitched into the set. No schedule. Just the mood and the margins.
This episode is broadcasting from The Londoner pub in Stockholm with the coordinates ///product.subsets.weekends.
#
Starting us off: a shimmering remix from Loopatronica, a brief suspended moment from Hi-Field, and Virtually J stepping out of the shadows with something quietly unsettling.
Headphones on.
Let time dissolve.
And let the frequencies claim you.
#
Next we drift into Darryl Wakelin’s Swimming Lesson in a playful library daydream, Loula Yorke and Charlotte Jolly weaving something ancient and watery, and James Osland reminding us how everything starts from almost nothing.
#
Now the air gets heavier and more fragile: Sleep Chrysalis letting dreams fade, Scholars of the Peak dredging up sparkles from the deep, and Clariloops opening something very gently.
#
We cross into field recordings and memory: Ana Habesh calling from Vanuatu, Then we flip the virtual cassette and find willowlaun dropping the ultimate New Zealand ambient pop moment, and Hverheij stepping into the realm of outside possibilities.
#
Sunlight, crystals, and liquid spaces now: Miguel Otero & Raquel Pavón speaking with the light, Arcane Trickster in crystalline suspension, and Scav building a living terrarium.
#
Loops, snow, and southern flavours: petr drkula spinning prime loops, Trevlad wandering through bank snow turkeys, and Saïph serving Marseille au riz.
#
Thanks for floating here with me.
I hope the journey sends you in the direction of these artists. All the links and purchase paths are illuminated at trevor.se, on Trevor Lewis on Substack, and marked in the timeline like little glowing breadcrumbs.
If you’re still listening… you’re in the club.
No meetings. No rules. Just dust, frequencies and me.
Send files, confessions, whatever, to trevlad@gmail.com.
For the final stretch we stay with Mahorka and a couple of great tracks that didn’t quite fit in my Planck Tone sessions but fit nicely here: Mloski – Shaper Mloski bending the waveform like it owed him money… beautiful. followed by nfc – ddopl whispering the last word in a language the machines haven’t learned yet. From Mahorka’s very first release Music for Elevators Vol. 1 way back in 2004.
That’s the whole set.
You’ve been listening to… well, everything.

EXPANSIVE WAVES 26
Good evening… or morning… or whatever smeared fragment of clock time you’ve drifted into tonight. This is EXPANSIVE WAVES 26. 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 three hours. 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.
Big thanks to Ivo Petrov at the Mahorka label for nudging me into a Plank Tone. I got gloriously lost and ended up delivering four. The first surfaced on April 8th. Tonight you’ll hear more of those strange, unhurried faces — independent corners, leftfield wanderers, music that refuses to be hurried.
We open with a twenty-four-minute soup. For anyone who’s ever been in a band, this is that glorious end-of-session moment when everyone’s a little fried and the music starts melting at the edges.
Merlin’s Spell — Merlin’s Spell [Full Demo]
A warm, hazy collective trance where sounds blur into one another like ink dropped in still water. Recorded back in 1978, gently refurbished for 2026. Out on The Dream Journal Institute — every penny heading to local libraries and quiet good causes.
That was Merlin’s Spell with Merlin’s Spell. Settle in now. Let the kettle do its slow work. Let the cat claim your chest like a small, purring dictator. Let the outside world keep spinning without you for a while.
Next, a dear friend of the show: Drew Huddart, recording as Scholars of the Peak. Fresh from a live set at Dubrek in Derby — the whole concert, audience whoops and all, because Drew decided not to chop it into polite pieces. Glorious nostalgic synths that feel like warm Sunday light through old lace curtains in the Peak District.
Scholars of the Peak — Live @ Dubrek Studios, Friday 10th April 2026
Bleeps and warm analogue sighs drifting through a room full of gentle human noise — the kind of set that makes you nostalgic for the future.
Now we arrive at the longest single piece I’ve ever slipped into this programme — a full hour, trimmed by a few cheeky seconds just so the software would swallow it. This is serious business.
OdNu + Ümlaut — Metamorphoses
An ever-shifting ambient landscape that never settles, never repeats, never lets you look away. Not lazy drift — this is meticulous, constantly breathing evolution. Out on Audiobulb, arriving June 6th. Prepare to be quietly astonished.
An old favourite now — the Russian master x.y.r. who can drop you straight into deep jungle with nothing more than a few well-placed field recordings and patient tones.
x.y.r. — altered zone (longform edition)
Birdsong threading through endless green layers, turning any room into a porch overlooking humid canopy at dusk. Tip for fellow travellers: when in doubt, add birds. They open windows that weren’t there before.
Back into the Mahorka family, 2019 vintage.
Thomas Park — Failsafe
Blade Runner rain on a corrugated tin roof, random synth trumpet stabs cutting through toxic haze. Neon signs flickering in puddles that never quite dry.
Still in the Mahorka stable, this time 2014.
Ab uno — Remorae (b side)
Deep drone waters where subtle synth lines move like slow silver fish just beneath the surface — barely visible, yet impossible to ignore once you notice them.
Penultimate unfolding, from The Jewel Garden label’s compilation.
Floating House Ensemble — Seven
Sax and strings delicately sprinkled over choral swells, like light catching on the edge of a slow-moving tide. As the Bandcamp page quietly reminds us: “I stood there, the whole day wrapped around me. I stood there, crying, smelling vine.”
And so the waves begin their gentle retreat for another evening. Eight long forms. Eight patient unfoldings. If any of them settled into the quieter corners of your night, you’ll find the links and love on the episode page at trevor.se and in the Mixcloud comments.
Feel free to leave something on the timeline — a half-thought, a soft sigh, or even a single emoji that somehow contains the entire universe.
We close episode twenty-six with Michael Plaster, recording as yttriphie.
yttriphie — Paddock of Skies
Twinkling space music from the album Solipsis on Projekt Records — delicate starlight that slowly swells until the whole sky feels like it’s breathing with you.
Until the next fragment of drifting time pulls us back into the same warm current… this is Trevor, signing off from EXPANSIVE WAVES 26.
Cheerio…

Trev’s Virtual Café
Hey everyone… Trevor here, welcome.
I’ve always wanted to be a café DJ — you know, the kind who reads the room, feels the energy, and lets the music flow with whatever vibe the people bring in that day.
Life took me down so many beautiful roads, but this particular dream… well, it’s still waiting to come true.
So today, I’m bringing a little piece of that dream right here for you.
This is my series of café and lounge-flavoured sounds — smooth, soulful grooves made for chilling, for unwinding, for good conversations and even better silences.
Whether you’re sipping coffee, working on your laptop, curled up on the couch, or just needing a moment to breathe…
Let these tracks wrap around you like warm sunlight through the café window.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 191
09 April 2026
Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
Hey.
Welcome back… or maybe you just crawled in through a crack in the wall.
This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library. Episode one-nine-one.
We’re still pretending it’s a radio show for the sonically adventurous.
But really it’s just me and the frequencies arguing in an empty apartment while the world outside forgets I exist.
Stream free for seven days on Mixcloud.
Background track tonight is available on Trevlad’s TVCL 11. The episode is a sonic journey with a metaphysical flip at the halfway mark—perfect for a long walk, a mental wander, or a quiet moment alone with the universe that definitely isn’t watching you back.
Massive shout out to Ivo Petrov of Mahorka for pulling me into the Planck Tone series. Big love to my latest followers Andy InPhase. Check his mix Beautiful Nonsense. Cedric Wattergniaux (Kilmarth) who I played back on episode 173, Julian Kalchev ( Virtually J ) who I played on the latest Alone on the Dance Floor episode and Claudio Gasparini who has a massive following with less than ten mixes. You’re doing something right.
Anyway.
Headphones on.
Let time dissolve.
And let the frequencies claim you.
We’re bunching it tonight—three transmissions at a time. Like weird little dreams stitched into the set. No schedule. Just the mood and the margins.
Tonight’s episode is broadcasting from… molars.blunt.notices.
Which is the location of Miyakodori—a Japanese-style gastro bar here in Stockholm where the food probably whispers secrets when the lights go out.
Let’s go.
First cluster incoming.
The episodes longest piece at 11:24. Just making the 12 minute limit. Vel Raine drifts in like bioluminescent waves from some distant galactic tide—Galactic Ocean Waves Flickering. Anything over 12 minutes ends up on another series of mine EXPANSIVE WAVES.
Then Fm Outt with that beautiful, futuristic sadness—Incomplete Kisses. Out on the Secuencias Temporales label.
And closing the trio, yours truly with something off the old virtual shelf—Caravan Grew Vaccines.
These three are about to melt into each other. Don’t fight it.
Still with me? Good. The walls are thinning.
Next transmission packet.
Heading back to 2007 and Sevensy opens a glowing doorway with Moon Arch. Out on the Mahorka label. Who I’ve done a series of Planck Tone specials for. The first is available now.
Stewart Keller follows with the, graceful exhale—Swan Song.
Then another long one at 10:27. Lee Evans slides in sideways with Bow Tel Banti—because why not. Out on The Jewel Garden which is described as being part label, pure vanity
Three more stitches in the dream.
Third and final cluster of the night.
French artist, Near Stoic paints movement in light—Kinematic Lights. Out on Third Kind Records.
Foxwarren gets not serious in Serious.
And Time Rival affirms existence with Also Yes.
Lean in. This one’s slippery.
One last track before the flip from Paul Beaudoin who goes plucky on Mercury’s Whisper. Out on Chitra Records sub label Ambient Cat.
You know the drill. The frequencies don’t stop just because the clock does.
Side B
The lights are lower. The sounds are looser.
Same rules: three transmissions stitched together like half-remembered dreams.
First B Side packet.
Going live now. GODTET brings in Cantus—big, orchestral, locked-in groove with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra riding shotgun. Out on La Sape Records
TOMC follows with the 8 minute journey—18, Chasing the Sun (Part 1, 2 & 3).
And Portland Vows closes it with Stone Children—haunting little shadows from the north. Out on Third Kind Records.
Let these three pull you under.
Next cluster. Snow is falling sideways tonight.
Erik Wøllo opens with Snow Tides—vast, Norwegian winter textures stretching out like frozen fjords. Out on Projekt records
El Michels Affair slides in cool and cinematic with the Indifference (Instrumental). Out on Big Crown Records. I’m loving this release. Library music just fills a hole in me.
Then mytrip whispers annie—a Mahorka ghost from the archive, quiet and close.
Headphones tighter. This one’s cold and intimate.
Last trio of the night.
Scott Orr with the simple, devastating Scott. Which I discovered from the recent Late-Night Tales release curated by Barry Can’t Swim
Jackson Mico Milas takes us Sea, Interior. Also on That Late-Night Tales release.
And Grammy-nominated Tim Story ends the main transmissions with Decelarate or Fasten—because sometimes you need both at once.
One more cluster before we fade.
You just heard Tim Story’s Decelarate or Fasten, Jackson Mico Milas’ Sea, Interior, and Scott Orr’s Scott.
One final transmission still to come…
The great Anubis Rude closes the show with Transmutation. Out on artist curated label Ingrown Records.
That’s the whole set.
You’ve been listening to… well, everything. But the last transmission you heard was Anubis Rude’s Transmutation pulling us through the veil.
Thanks for floating here with me.
I hope the journey sends you in the direction of these artists. All the links and purchase paths are illuminated at trevor.se, on Trevor Lewis on Substack, and marked in the timeline like little glowing breadcrumbs.
If you’re still listening… you’re in the club.
No meetings. No rules. Just dust and frequencies.
Send files, confessions, whatever, to trevlad@gmail.com.
Send stories for Chord Confessions. I’ll read them in my sleep-voice.
See you in the next crack in the wall.
Cheerio…

Alone on the Dance Floor 06
For those that dance to a different tune.
A place to let loose. A short break from the ambience that usually dominated the channel.
Great to be back with another outing of Alone on the Dance Floor.
It’s been a while. This episode contains four artists on the Mahorka radar.
Virtually J, Hypnos, Recidivist and MBA. I’ve done a bunch of guest mixes for the amazing Planck Tone series which Ivo Petrovs’ Mahorka does.
It’s also got a track by Anhnch from my latest compilation Puzzles of the Psyche available on Bandcamp.
This series comes out whenever I can make the time to create them. Like all my shows.
I am not affiliated with any station and do not get paid for this work.
I rely entirely on labels and artists sending me material, an unquenchable thirst for sharing great sounds, a handful of Mixcloud subscribers and a few sales from Bandcamp.
Also in this episode a few favourite labels that keep me updated. Castles In Space, Waxing Crescent Records and, of course, Mahorka.

Brams burgers – great burger joint. Now it’s just a coordinate for whatever this episode is.
Hey.
Welcome back… or maybe you just crawled in through a crack in the drywall.
This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library. Episode one-eight-nine.
We’re still pretending it’s a radio show for the sonically adventurous, but really it’s just me and the frequencies arguing in an empty apartment while the world outside forgets I exist.
Headphones on.
Let time dissolve.
And let the frequencies claim you.
We’re bunching it tonight – four transmissions at a time, like weird little dreams stitched into the set. No schedule. Just the mood and the margins.
FIRST CLUSTER
Four signals crawling out of the high passes and the liberation fronts.
Sonic-Soma – Kinnaur Calling – Cities and Memory, Nepal field recordings turned into sonic soma.
The Music Liberation Front Sweden – Astra Shambotica – Submarine Broadcasting, astral jazz revolution.
Grosso Gadgetto – Quadrata Dodus Act 2 – Bulgarian label Mahorka, who might be the reason for me not doing these episodes for a few days. Keep an eye and ear out for future Planck Tone episodes I may be guesting.
Willebrant – Dell – atmospheric drone from down under. Birds in the rain. A must.
You just survived the first transmission: Sonic-Soma, The Music Liberation Front Sweden, Grosso Gadgetto, and Willebrant.
The space between us is definitely thinner now.
SECOND CLUSTER Brain shells cracking open, hits amended, voids flattered, dust explained. Zerfranzt – Hirnschale – which means skull or, the nicer translation of, Brain case from Kaiseki Digital, who I’ve been playing lately as Free Album Codes has provided me with codes for some early releases from 2018. German synaptic spill. Trevlad – Hits Enjoyable Amended – self-released soundscape from the episode of the same name. A repeat name from the spot where I try and sleep most nights. This one’s from the album TVCL 10 and has nothing to do with the track of the same name from TVCL 09. Puscha – Sycophanatic – NEN, Melbourne cinematic hypnosis. Provided by Fonodroom. Everyday Dust – Without Explanation – Dustopian Frequencies, Scottish drone stories that evaporate.
You just floated through Zerfranzt, Trevlad, Puscha, and Everyday Dust. Halfway mark is creeping up. I’m starting to feel that metaphysical flip? The universe just winked at you and kept walking.
THIRD CLUSTER (pre-B Side)
Edges blurring, bodies floating.
phorme – blur – Kaiseki Digital, Australian meditative haze from NSW. Also from 2018.
Takashi Kusano – Floating – Sounds for the Soul, Japanese levitation.
And then comes the B Side…
phorme and Takashi Kusano just lifted you clean out of gravity.
Now the bench is empty and the cats are from hell.
FOURTH CLUSTER (B Side)
Empty benches, hellcat beats, half-human wires, clinical worms.
Substak – Empty Bench – Daydreamers, Greek meditative park-bench snippet.
Le Morte d’Abby – Nyanko No Jigoku Beat – dark electro from the neon underworld.
Jilk – Half-Human – Bricolage, Glasgow idm hybrid soul.
The Foot & Leg Clinic – Worms 2 – alternative rock diagnosis under fluorescent lights.
You just sat on Substak’s Empty Bench, got bitten by Le Morte d’Abby’s hellcats, glitched with Jilk, and received a full worm examination from The Foot & Leg Clinic.
Your body is now 40% frequency.
FIFTH CLUSTER
Appetizers of life, grace with nothing, tidal animation tags, Nordic sea breath.
The Appetizers – The Life – Italian roots reggae funk from Rome.
Rejoicer – Grace Was Happy (I Found Nothing) – LA epiphany of joyful emptiness. Sounds as if Weather Report did music for film.
Record Of Tides – Yoshimoto Animation Tag – Mahorka hauntological Japanese cels on the tide. Glitchy 8-bit crackles.
Albin – Havet – Paltunes, Swedish sea inhaling your thoughts. Everything Albin Johansson touches glows with a nostalgic warmth I can never get enough of.
You just tasted The Appetizers, let Rejoicer’s Grace smile at nothing, rode Record Of Tides’ animation waves, and sank into Albin’s Havet.
The apartment is underwater now.
FINAL CLUSTER
Rain shelter geometry and half-a-day London melt.
Kikagaku Moyo – Amayadori – Guruguru Brain, psychedelic Tokyo forest clearing.
ff8282 – london / half the day – 4000 Records, fractured electronic daydreams.
You just sheltered with Kikagaku Moyo and melted through half a London day with ff8282.
That’s the whole set.
Thanks for floating here with me.
I hope the journey sends you in the direction of these artists. All the links, and purchase paths are illuminated at trevor.se and marked in the timeline.
If you’re still listening… you’re in the club.
No meetings. No rules. Just dust and frequencies.
Send files, confessions, whatever, to trevlad@gmail.com.
Send stories for Chord Confessions. I’ll read them in my sleep-voice.
See you in the next crack in the drywall.
Cheerio…

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
https://theastralrealms.bandcamp.com/track/time-and-space-compressed
Your childhood bedroom at 3 a.m. stretched until the walls become nebulae and the glow-in-the-dark stars remember they were once real suns.
That was Time And Space, Compressed by JSF from the album Astral Airways out on The Dream Journal Institute
Gareth Evans aka HDRF – Flowergate Coda – a glimpse into HDRFs live set at Switched On 2025 in Whitby last November.
https://hdrf.bandcamp.com/track/flowergate-coda
A single flower made of stained glass slowly melting back into rain on the roof of an abandoned Victorian greenhouse.
That was Flowergate Coda by HDRF from the self released album H25L. Do grab this release yours truly feature on the first couple of tracks.
*Zyggurat is Pete Grimshaw’s experimental jazz project – Out of Darkness into Light
https://old-technology.bandcamp.com/
Release date 10th of April
Climbing the last step of a black marble staircase that ends in blinding white dawn, barefoot, with no memory of how many centuries you just walked.
That was Out of Darkness into Light by Zyggurat from the album Sphere to Sphere dropping April 10th on the Old Technology label.
Correlations – 3300 WELLSPRING TAPE PHASER REF
https://correlations1.bandcamp.com/track/3300-wellspring-tape-phaser-ref
Every cassette you ever owned playing at once inside a warm metal well, tape hiss turning into soft spring water that tastes faintly of solder and nostalgia.
That was 3300 WELLSPRING TAPE PHASER REF by Correlations a self released track.
Michael Brückner – A Sequence of Colours – Parts 8
https://cyclicaldreams.bandcamp.com/track/a-sequence-of-colours-parts-8-10
Walking through a cathedral built entirely from slowly shifting stained-glass emotions—indigo guilt becoming emerald forgiveness becoming gold that has no name.
That was A Sequence of Colours – Parts 8 by Michael Brückner from the album A Sequence of Colours out on Cyclical Dreams
Projet -> Renard) Ost) – Avulsing Prometheus
https://maxencedubroca.bandcamp.com/track/avulsing-prometheus
The titan chained to the mountain suddenly realizing the eagle is just a very committed performance artist and the liver is optional.
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
https://cyclicaldreams.bandcamp.com/track/time-passing-by
Standing on a moving Berlin sidewalk at 4 a.m. while every second of your life files past like friendly ghosts waving from trams that never quite stop.
Cheerio…
