Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 355

Hi folks and welcome to A Perspective With No End. Episode 355 of my Virtual cassette library. It’s Friday and I hope your weekend is looking spectacular. This Mixcloud channel has now passed twelve hundred mixes and as a coincedence, and a thank you, I made the previous bonus mix titled ///fake.prompts.roofer which is the what3words location of my letterbox and where I found a copy of The Twelve Hour Foundations latest 10” vinyl release Expanded & Repurposed. Which was kindly gifted to me by Jez and Polly.
Anyway…
I make these shows as sort of diary of sorts which is not the best of ideas but I like descovering new music every day and happen to like sharing my finds with you.

Side A will include Rikardfvs with Knocking On The Door Of The Worm Breeder from the must have Dustopian Frequencies compilation Skeletons. This is motorik krautrock groove from up the road. After that legendary The Black Dog with You Married Yourself (Live) from the album Live At Dekmantel 2026. pulsing Idm that will have your neck snapping. Then Andrew Lang together with Tim Koch and the wonderfully named track When In Rhodes from the album Comminuere Communitas out on the unstoppable force that is Mahorka. Ten and half minutes of drifting pads and hissy rhodes just what the doctor ordered. After that Justin Hopper with Jesse Chandler in the piece The Mayday Pond from the album The Autochrome and Other Stories. An exclusive ghost story for Christmas out on the stellar Clay Pipe Music label. Ending side a is Hello Mr. Klaus with Opus 39. The buildings shatter, and so does my heart from the album The Ring of Fire -Electronic Symphony No.3 Part. 1. A synthesizer opus to drift aimlessly into space to.
After that side B will flip itself like a polite pancake while you notice a detail in your surroundings.
First off is TOMAGA with A Perspective With No End from the album The Shape Of The Dance out on Hands In The Dark. Four minutes of brooding percussion,understated bass and lapping waves where the perspective is already the dance.

Enjoy…

These are not playlists. Each episode is structured as a pair of continuous sets: six tracks on each side, mixed and stitched so the joins sit almost inside the grain. The sequence is the form.
If you make music, run a label, or hold a private archive of material that has not yet found a place, send links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. Every submission is heard.
The episodes remain free for the first week. After that they move into the Mixcloud subscriber archive. Subscribers also receive Veil Frequencies, the ongoing series of three-hour transmissions—extended traversals rather than selections, moving through a curtain of sound that occasionally seems to register the listener in return.
Mind the flip.

Side A

Mood mist: a perspective with no end, a door that is already the bone, a marriage that is already the self, a Rhodes that is already the next grain, a pond that is already the autochrome, a heart that is already the next movement of the ring.

Welcome to the intermission aka the flip side. You just heard the track “Opus 39. The buildings shatter, and so does my heart” by Hello Mr. Klaus. Remember If you make music, run a label, or hold a private stash of sounds that have not yet found more ears, send links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. Every submission is considered. Today’s album of the day: is After Dark by Vermont based Fimnur. Recorded between November 2025 and February 2026, the twelve pieces move through titles like “Fractals in Ice,” “The Curse Awakens,” and “Just Before Dawn,” keeping the cold, story-driven atmosphere of earlier work while opening small doors to neo-classical texture. A measured expansion of the Vermont winter project rather than a reinvention.

https://fimnur.bandcamp.com/album/after-dark

The next set will feature OdNu with the track Pushpoint from the album with the great title, Thinking is Electric, Knowing is Magnetic. Out on the Camembert Électrique label.

Dom Keen’s take on Cluster’s “Caramel” (from the 1974 Zuckerzeit) drifts the original’s melodic core through layered synths and open kosmische textures. A careful tribute that blurs the line between homage and new space. Then Sha ked with the 40 second Intro from the EP Conditionally. The opening track on Conditionally arrives as a brief, self-contained statement. Drops on Monday via the SWIMP GUMS label. The penultimate track this week is Hoeken by Aries Mond from the album Lines. Boris Billier’s Hoeken continues the spontaneous, single-take approach of his recent Edge Angles. Minimal lines sit against everyday sound sources, the imperfect edges left intact so the piece feels caught rather than composed. It’s out on whitelabrecs.
Ending episode 355 is the wonderful Cate Brooks with Blush Tide from the compilation Filaments. Out on Jo Johnson curated Silver Threads label. Cate layers soft electronic textures that feel nurturing rather than distant, the kind of ambient that settles without insisting.
But first vidnaObmana and the track “Ephemeral Vision (Dreams In Exile)” from the album The River of Appearance. out on Projekt Records. The acoustic re-creation of the 1996 Belgian ambient classic.
Enjoy the rest of the episode.

That was another outing of the Virtual Cassette Library. If the sequence stayed with you, share it, favourite the show, and follow the channel so the next episode finds you and maybe someone new. Tips keep the reels turning. Better still, subscribe: the archive now holds more than twelve hundred past episodes, waiting whenever the next listening session calls. Travel safely between the frequencies. I won’t say goodbye as that would suggest that we’ll never meet again. Instead, I say, Cheerio.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 354

We Can Watch.

Hi folks and welcome to We Can Watch. Episode 354 of my Virtual cassette library. It’s Thursday and I hope your week is rounding up nicely. I met Robin Rimbaud last night who was in Stockholm performing with Klang Systematiek at Fylkingen, an artist-run, non-profit association and venue for experimental music and intermedia art. Founded in 1933 making it is one of the oldest forums of its kind in the world. I also bumped into the legendary Håkan Lidbo who I know through my wife who sings in his electro trash pop outfit PayTV. I also got chatting with a dude living in Gothenburg, sorry I forgot your name, who introduced me to live coding music and algorave which was new to me. A fascinating world of the practice of writing and modifying computer code in real time to generate sound, rhythms, and compositions.
Also last night while this event was happening were a few other parties of the listening kind. Field Lines Cartographers new one Phases II: Further Moons dropping tomorrow on Castles In Space sounds amazing and, of course, The Synthesis Co-Op Volume Two of which I have a piece. I read through the chat on my way home and got teary-eyed. What an amazing collective of super supporters and artists they are. If you can’t afford therapy I’d suggest dropping into listening parties on Bandcamp. Thanks every one for the wonderful comments and for supporting each other.
Anyway…
I make these shows on a daily bases which is not the best of ideas but I like listening to new music every day and just happen to like sharing my finds with you.
Shout out to MoiCflo for favoriting previous episodes.

Side A will include Jo Johnson and her soothing track We Can Watch, the track with the cuckoo and the child at the end saying we can watch, ambient synth and field recording where the watching is already happening and the donation goes to the Hope Not Hate and Kent Wildlife Trust. This melts into Oliver Cherer aka Gilroy Mere and the track Furlongs 2 from the album Furlongs out on Clay Pipe Music. Four minutes of pastoral electronics along the Downs where the chalk path is the same one Ravilious walked and the train is still going past the Long Man. Then Bill Bawden aka The Prairie Lines and the track This Is Where We Kneel from the album eyes down slowdown out on channel supporting whitelabrecs. The opening of the slowdown, four minutes of processed piano and static where the wide open space is the holy chamber and the kneeling is already the invitation. Then Brian Phillips aka Glass Hive with Snow In Summer from the self titled EP out on Unknown Tone Records. The track that looks like the plant, ambient calm from the Florida side project where the snow is already the summer and the mind is already in the woods of sleep.
An finally to end the set the extremely prolific The Merricks with the piece bds2 from their release Bounds which seems to have mysteriously dissapeared from the face of the earth so I’m calling this an exclusive track. Geneva dark minimal electro, where the sonic bath is already the edge and the edge is already the next one. After that side B will flip itself like a polite pancake while you notice a detail in your surroundings.
First off is the shortest tack of the episode from Austin Potter and Rainbow Trout from the album III. Out on the Wormhole World label. Austin if you’re listening I want you to make me a guided sleep meditation.

Enjoy…

The rainbow already in the water, then a sonic bath that is already the edge.
Side A lets the trout know the colour so the water is already the poem, watches with the cuckoo and the child so the watching is already happening, walks the second furlongs along the chalk path the Long Man still watches while the train goes past, kneels in the wide open space that is already the holy chamber, keeps the snow in summer so the mind is already in the woods of sleep, and bounds the dark minimal electro where the bath is already the edge and the edge is already the next one.
Overall mood: Pastoral, and quietly edged — full of water that is already the poem, open chambers, and summers that prefer to keep their snow. Perfect for dusk listening, soft Downs, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.

Side A
Mood mist: a rainbow trout already in the water, a track with the cuckoo and the child saying we can watch, pastoral electronics along the Downs, a place where we kneel, snow that is already summer, a second bound of Geneva dark minimal electro.

After that Julien Hauspie and the track Walkabout from the album A Distant Familiar the second track of the episode from whitelablecs.

The penultimate piece of today’s episode is from an artist who reached out to me. Jason Dzamba produces solo improvised piano works on Youtube. Unedited improvised piano where the waiting is already the touch and the touch is already the next note that didn’t get edited out. I’ve chosen the piece Waiting Touch. Ending episode 354 is Mythologen with the track Gold from the self titled album which came out back in 2017 but seems to be missing from the Höga Nords Rekords label catalogue. One minute fourty five seconds of dreamy synth where the gold is already the muffled melody and the melody is already the recovery.

But first Zyggurat and the track “A Door Opens” from the album Sphere to Sphere out on the Old Technology label. The short closing of the sphere, two minutes of modular synth from the woodland chapel where the door is already open and the next sphere is already the one you were in.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 353

Love and Regret.

Hi folks and welcome to Love and Regret. Episode 353 of my Virtual cassette library. It’s Wednesday and I hope your week so far has been fantastic. I make these shows on a daily bases which is not the best of ideas but I like listening to new music every day and just happen to like sharing my finds with you.
Shout out to aeon for the pep talk check out his monthly Fragments show on Camp Radio also 4000 Records, dougtewksbury, Lee Raymond Sykes and boysmithers for favoriting previous episodes.

Side A will include skimmed_milk with Apologue from the album Forsaken out on the wonderful Ambient Cat label. Dark around the edges, liminal in the middle. The cat is ambient. The milk is skimmed. Then Soldiers in the Snow with Mirador from the album The Synthesis Co-Op Volume Two. A compilation on which I too have left a stain. The sound is the cold kind. Not dramatic cold. The kind that sits in the boots and waits. Go get yourself a copy of this 17 track outing it’s for a good cause. After that Mayassa Dib with Prelude a single out on the Moolakii Club Audio Interface label. Play it when you need the beginning without the arrival.
After that Drew Huddart aka Scholars of the Peak with The Haven Under The Hill from the compilation album Pictures at an Exhibition.The sound is the pastoral kind with the edges still on. Bells somewhere in the distance, synths doing the work of the slope, field recordings of whatever the hill was doing that day.
and finally an exclusive by Tim Spear alias The Careful System with Silence cupped in deeper silence from the album Motifs 2 which will see light of day on November 20 via artist curated label WHI Recordings. After that side B will flip itself like a polite pancake while you notice a detail in your surroundings.
First off is The Fimnur Trio with “Dungeon Jazz” from the album Sketches from the Dungeon. A dungeon that decided it wanted a cocktail. Loungey enough that you might sit down. Dungeon enough that the chair is probably a rock.

Enjoy…

A dungeon that decided it wanted a cocktail, then the first vegetable without the rest of the garden.
Side A lets the dungeon order its cocktail with the chair already a rock and loungey enough to sit, darkens the apologue around the edges while the milk stays skimmed and liminal in the middle, sits the mirador in the boots with the stain already left, begins the prelude without the arrival that is already postponed, keeps the haven under the hill with the bells distant and the hill doing whatever it was doing that day, and cups the silence in deeper silence that is already waiting. Side B lets the trees remember what only they still hold, thinks the spoon is a saw with the modular already acid and the win declared, grows the physis with the goddess going and the noticing optional, loves the regret with the sax open and the orchestra under it, kisses the skulls in a Radiophonic farewell that is already kind, and offers the first carrot with the rest of the garden optional and the nothing already about something.
Overall mood: Amused, and quietly edged — full of ordered cocktails, cupped silences, and vegetables that prefer to arrive alone. Perfect for dusk listening, soft dungeons, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.

Side A
Mood mist: a dungeon that decided it wanted a cocktail, an apologue dark around the edges, a mirador that sits in the boots, a prelude without the arrival, a haven under the hill, a silence cupped in deeper silence.

Okay. Naharim, the Lost City. A young archivist finds an old grimoire, walks through a stone archway into some parallel place called Indarabia, ends up in a city frozen in Time, and then the portal closes and nobody sees him again. Extra lines show up in the book later. By this French Berlin School guy, Sylvain Carel, on the Buenos Aires label Cyclical Dreams. that does the sequenced, ambient, space-music thing you should all be addicted to by now.

The penultimate track is by A Farewell to Hexes who bless us with The Kiss Of Skulls from the compilation I can’t get enough of Skeletons An Adam Leonard project that does the Radiophonic, sinister, concept-heavy electronics. Finally Craig Fortnam the North Sea Radio Orchestra and Arch Garrison guy, from the Cardiacs family, making instrumental music that is about nothing at all when you need the first vegetable without the rest of the garden.

Hi folks and welcome to Light In the Tunnel episode 352 of my Virtual cassette library. It’s Tuesday and I hope your week is off to a great start. Please let me know if you want something mentioned in future episodes as I do realise that social media just doesn’t connect us. I know this as I’m sending actual physical mix tapes to anyone who suggests a piece of music they love at the moment and I’ll make a personal cassette based on it. New subscribers or tip givers jump to the top of the que of course. What surprizes me is the lack of enthusiasm and response to this. I’ve had one comment and I’ve lost 6% of my subscribers since posting this offer. I don’t get it.
Anyway on to the show.
Shout out to Fragile X, MoiCflo, Musiccity Official Radio, Tempest Recordings and aeon for favoriting previous episodes.

The first side will include Cub\cub with the track The horizon becomes narrower. It’s the music of getting closer and closer until closer stops being a place and starts being a condition. From the compilation All About HER (a benefit compilation for Hollow Earth Radio). Out on Hollow Earth Radio. Also Robin Rimboud aka Scanner who I plan on bumping physically tomorrow here in Stockholm. You’ll be blessed with the track Nightwalk from the EP Scanner Librarian EP 1. There’s a librarian involved, which means someone is supposed to be quiet, but the night is not cooperating.
This floats into the track Som solsken which is Swedish and means Like Sunshine. It’s by Ingmar Wennerberg aka Snufmumriko and is from the album Talisman. Out on the Le Mont Analogue label. It’s gentle. A little rhythmic, but the kind of rhythmic that doesn’t want to make a scene. Like sunlight that has decided to take the long way around instead of coming straight through the window.
Then Matthew Hiram with the track Viridis Which is Latin for green, I looked it up so I wouldn’t sound like someone who just guessed. From the album Shade Songs. Minimal and patient, like it’s fine waiting for you to notice the difference between being in the light and being under it.
Finally before the tape flip another friend Alex Ringess and his 10 minute opening piece 13/8 from his self released Experiments album. The track saying “this is how many beats there are today” and the rest of us can catch up or not. Music that refuses to round itself down. After that side B will flip itself like a polite pancake while you notice a detail in your soul.
First off is long time friend of the show Binaural Space with “Light In the Tunnel” from the self released album Luvisgod. Close your eyes and start walking through whatever tunnel this is.
Enjoy…

Welcome to the intermission aka the flip side. You just heard the track “13/8” by Alex Ringess. Remember If you make music, run a label, or hold a private stash of sounds that have not yet found more ears, send links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. Every submission is considered. Today’s album of the day is by Buffalo, New York’s finest pollsign and the EP Asymptote which is mastered by Michael Southard aka Time Rival and released on the super duper Triplicate Records label.
Okay, so this album. Asymptote. By the guy. Pollsign. I put it on and immediately I’m like, “What is this floaty thing doing to my brain?” It’s ambient, right? Late-night, never-quite-arrives, the line that keeps getting closer but doesn’t touch. Like when you’re trying to high-five yourself in a mirror and you keep missing and then you just start narrating it.
I listened to it twice and both times I forgot what I was supposed to be doing. That’s either a review or a cry for help. Either way, it’s good. The incomplete kind of good. The kind where the missing part is the part that makes it work.
https://pollsign.bandcamp.com/album/asymptote

The next set will feature the longest piece of the episode at just over 13 minutes. It’s hershel with the closing track from the album silent steps for a better way titled We’re almost there. Out on the one of a kind whitelabrecs. The kind of music that makes you feel like you’re walking toward a door that keeps moving back at the same speed you’re walking. This drifts into Illume by Tewksbury from the album rust/wave out on Imaginary North. When you want to drift without having to explain where you’re going. Then Sevensy + Ikipr with Delicate Morning from the album Stretch Out Above The Clouds out on the super prolific label of quality stuff Mahorka. Morning light, the early kind, before the regular light shows up and starts making plans. When you want to stretch out above whatever the clouds are doing today without having to explain. We stick with the Mahorka label for the penultimate piece by Record Of Tides and the closing track Fish Tank from the album Intercelestial. When the fish are looking at you and you want a groove that doesn’t mind coming undone. We end episode 352 with the shortest track of the day by April Emily aka ff8282 titled myla from the album taunt_taunt which will be released on November 12 on the great 4000 Records. A name someone whispered. Brazilian traditions and visceral poetry somewhere in the mix. Experimental enough that the edges don’t stay put, intimate enough that you notice when they move.
But first another long track at 9:45 by Mike Hans STEFFL and the track “sequencedARPverage” from the album average of the average out on the Aural Films label. Mikes been making music since the 70s so he knows his way around an arp. Music that has already done the math so you don’t have to.
Enjoy…

Light in the tunnel across twelve rooms. Side A opens with a light already in the tunnel, moves through a horizon that becomes narrower, a nightwalk with a librarian, sunlight that takes the long way around, a green that waits, and a 13/8 that refuses to round itself down. Side B continues with a sequenced ARP average, a walk toward a door that keeps moving, an illume, a delicate morning, a fish tank that doesn’t mind coming undone, and a myla that arrives just before the release. The joins sit inside the grain. The sequence is the form.

Light already in the tunnel, then a myla that arrives just before the release.
Side A opens the tunnel with the light already there so the eyes can close and the walking begin, narrows the horizon until the closer becomes a condition it already agrees to, walks the night with a librarian who stays quiet while the night refuses to cooperate, lets the sunlight take the long way around a patient window, waits in the green that notices the difference between being in the light and under it, and counts the 13/8 that refuses to round itself down. Side B sequences the ARP so the average is already done and no one else has to, walks toward a door that keeps moving with the steps already silent and the almost already kind, illuminates without needing the explanation, stretches a delicate morning already early and above whatever the clouds are doing, lets the fish tank come undone while the fish keep looking and the groove is fine with it, and arrives the myla just before the release with the name already whispered and the intimacy already noticed.
Overall mood: Precise, and quietly open — full of open tunnels, refused roundings, and doors that prefer to keep moving. Perfect for dusk listening, soft libraries, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.

Side A
Mood mist: light already in the tunnel, a horizon that becomes narrower, a nightwalk with a librarian, sunlight that takes the long way around, a green that waits, a 13/8 that refuses to round itself down.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 351

In The Garden.

Hi folks and welcome to episode 351 of my Virtual cassette library. At last it’s Monday and I hope you had a great weekend. Please let me know if you want something mentioned in future episodes as I do realise that social media just doesn’t connect us. I’m sending actual physical mix tapes to new subscribers or tip givers which I thought was a great idea but so far I have only managed to lose a subscriber.
Shout outs to 4000 records, aeon and Darcy Doogan for favoriting previous episodes.
Anyway on to the show. An afternoon in the garden across twelve rooms. Side A opens with silver filaments connecting us all, moves through organelles, a declaration of invincibility, a burn ’em from the LTN, a force majeure, and finally in the garden itself. Side B continues with a deadstep, an early question, an unienie on terra nullius, timbre and pulse, a red riviera, and something below the cliff. The joins sit inside the grain. The sequence is the form.
The first side will include zensor, Marek Kwiatkowski, Cries from the LTN, Fragile X and finally ,before the side flip, Sons Of Perdition.
Side B will flip itself like a polite pancake while you notice a detail in your surroundings.
Also shout outs to all the artists and labels featured in this episode.

Welcome to the intermission aka the flip side. You just heard the track “In The Garden” by Sons Of Perdition.

The next set will feature Jörgen Gustafsson, Mnemos, The Time Service, Lords of Lounge and finally to end this episode dendrofreq. But first P.G. Warren with the track “Deadstep”. Enjoy…

From silver filaments connecting us all, to something below the cliff.
Side A silvers the filaments so the connection is already made, keeps the organelles busy in a cell that already knows its theory, declares the invincibility with the signal already from the condor, burns kind for the sandwiches and cobs that are already great, makes the force majeure with the hundred already reached, and opens the garden so the sons are already among the flowers. Side B steps the deadstep among the skeletons that are already listening, arrives the early while the questions stay open, names the unienie on terra nullius already claimed, warms the timbre and steadies the pulse from the co-op, reds the riviera with the lounge already lorded, and opens the below the cliff that is already above.
Overall mood: Declared, and quietly connected — full of busy cells, open gardens, and cliffs that prefer to stay above. Perfect for dusk listening, soft lounges, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.

Side A

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 349

Inner Landscape.

Hi folks and welcome to episode 349 of my Virtual cassette library. Happy Sunday and I hope you’re having a great weekend. A massive hello to everyone at Switched on Whitby which is happening right now. As I’m back recording daily voice overs do please let me know if you want something mentioned in future episodes as I do realise that social media just doesn’t connect us in any positive ways lately. A shout out to Neil Mason of Moonbuilding weekly fame for the writeup of The Synth Co-Op Volume Two release where he threw me in as being one of the more established artists. Which goes to show you how extremely niche our little world is.There are cassettes and zines left for this release as far as I can tell. Speaking of cassettes I’m sending actual physical mix tapes to new subscribers or tip givers which I thought was a great idea but so far I have only managed to lose a subscriber.
Shout outs to WHI recordings for dropping a comment on episode 347 and to Wojciech Stecko and Traindeer for the follow.
Anyway on to the show and the first side will include Ben Eyes, Towering Vertical, Coda Nautica, Christian Fiesel and Europe in Flames.
Side B will flip itself like a polite pancake while you notice a detail in your surroundings.
Also shout outs to all the artists and labels featured in this episode.
First off is Cincinnati’s finest Ed Herbers with “Ruskaretki (feat. Chris Hobbs)” from the album Season Cycle: Autumn.
Enjoy…

A ruskaretki in autumn, then a weathering that takes its time.
Side A takes the trip already with the autumn kind, keeps Whitby wooden in the days of oak and hemp with the sail already set, blankets the sky with stratus from a cloud school already open, holds an inner landscape with the harmonics already intricate, enters a new phase where the second thought is already first, and softens the forgetting of how to breathe so the breath can remember itself. Side B carves the wooden spoon with the wood already patient, arrives the mantis with the maps already walked, keeps a tiempo propio beyond words, slumbers the glen already kind, repeats the town that is already stagnant, and weathers the triptych that is already open and taking its time.
Overall mood: Soft, and quietly patient — full of open schools, remembered breaths, and weatherings that prefer to take their time. Perfect for dusk listening, soft glens, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 348

onward & upward.

Hi folks and welcome to onward & upward episode 348 of my Virtual cassette library. Happy Saturday and I hope your Bandcamp Friday went down in History. I myself appear on my first physical release on the mindblowing compilation Volume Two from the fantastic The Synthesis Co-Op. It’s probably a physical release I’ll never see but I’m happy that so many UK listeners get to hold it. It has a zine too. Everything is pretty much sold out after yesterdays release. There are cassettes and zines left as far as I can tell. Speaking of cassettes I’m sending actual physical mix tapes to new subscribers or tip givers which I thought was a great idea but so far I have only managed to lose a subscriber.
Anyway on to the show and the first side will include Ghostloop, Lord Cernunnos, TRAINDEER, Dave Clarkson and finally On Idyl .
Side B will flip itself like a polite pancake while you just breath.
Also shout outs to Dave Clarkson, Pablo Bilbao of Cyclical Dreams. All the artists and labels featured in the episode and the followers that have favourited the shows.
First off is Gollden with “onward & upward” from her album Sundial which was supposed to be released through the Anjunabeats label in October but seems only to be available on streaming platforms. Written and recorded during the depths of late fall and Canadian winter exploring themes of loss, grief, uncertainty, and finding your own light when everything around you begins to go dark. A fitting opener to todays episode Enjoy…

Welcome to the intermission or the flip side. You just heard the track “Cast Upon the Shores of the Unknown” by Bellingham’s finest On Idyl from that wonderful compilation The Synthesis Co-Op Volume Two of yours truely am lucky enough to share a space with 16 other amazing artists. Remember If you make music, run a label, or hold a private archive of material that has not yet found a place, send links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. Every submission is considered. The next set will feature midorinozu, Oberlin, Nick May, Ocean Moon & Silver Ley and K Man The Phantom. But first Mindheal with the track “Wish You Weren’t Here”. Enjoy…

Onward and upward through a sundial, then an egungun among the skeletons.
Side A finds the light with the winter already behind her, lets the rain arrive after all with the distant sea kind, lifts the flying cars over a cityscape already beneath them, raises the kanashibari from dust to dawn, loses itself in an abandoned location of the British Isles, and is cast upon the shores of the unknown that is already welcoming. Side B speaks the wish that someone weren’t here so the space can open, moves the arc so the horizon is lost and found, names the Odiliengarten with the ways already further, softens the crash into a lost piece that is kept, shifts the light across prismatic fields, and dances the egungun while the skeleton listens.
Overall mood: Lifted, and quietly open — full of found light, welcoming shores, and spirits already dancing. Perfect for dusk listening, soft cityscapes, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.

Side A
Mood mist: onward and upward through a sundial, rain that arrives after all, flying cars over a cityscape, a kanashibari from dust to dawn, a loss in an abandoned location, a casting upon the shores of the unknown.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 347

Slow Stream.

Hi folks and welcome to episode 347 of my Virtual cassette library. Sorry for the background disturbance, the neighbourhs are having roofwork done. Now I’ve been too busy for the past couple of days, not that anyone has noticed. What’s been happening? Well I went to see Bitchin Bajas on Wednesday which was a mind bender in the best sense. Krautrock lives! I’ve been also asked a bunch of life reflective questions by the wonderful Brian Roach who does a great Q&A series on Substack. Our musical compatability level is off the charts. So if you like this series I recommend you check his interviews out. Also this week Robin Rimbaud, Mr. Scanner is in my neck of the woods playing with Klang Systematiek. really looking forward to that.
It’s Bandcamp Friday as if your inbox hasen’t reminded you. Go grab everything on that wishlist. Especially the pre-release for the new compilation I’m hosting called Hidden Kingdoms, which is available for two quid and already has 13 artists with still plenty of time before the release at the end of the year.
I’m also sending actual mix tapes to new subscribers or tip givers which myself and Gareth Evans aka HDRF thought was a cool idea I’ve done two cassettes and so far have only managed to lose a subscriber.
Anyway on to the show and the first side which will include Portland Vows, an exclusive track by Richard Francés who is the curator of the amazing Hylé Tapes with a track from that Hidden Kingdoms compilation that everyone’s talking about. Also Department of Light, Aiko Takahashi together with Scattered Light, luxury elite and finally Shakali.
Side B will flip itself like a polite pancake so no effort needed.
Shout outs to the followers that have favourited the shows and to Graham Thorpe and MoiCflo for commenting.
First off is Brian Omen with “Litany for ARP 2600” Enjoy…

Welcome to the intermission or the flip side. You just heard the track “thank you for calling” by luxury elite. Remember If you make music, run a label, or hold a private archive of material that has not yet found a place, send links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. Every submission is considered. The next set will feature Green-House, Spectrical. An exclusive track Consumer Electronics from an upcoming compilation titled “Motifs 2” on the rather excellent WHI Recordings label due out on November 20. Also Hiroaki Yamamoto and finally Cells Interlinked. But first Shakali with the track “Minium”. Enjoy…

Side A
Mood mist: a litany for an ARP 2600, a December that arrives with a cuckoo, a self that decolonises itself, a main theme from the dream journal, an autumn veil in corduroy, a thank you for calling that means it.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 346

Moonless Night.

Another reel of the Virtual Cassette Library begins. Twelve tracks, two sides. A virtual cassette that turns itself at the halfway mark, the oxide catching just long enough to mark the seam before the second side continues.
These are not playlists. Each episode is structured as a pair of continuous sets: six tracks on each side, mixed and stitched so the joins sit almost inside the grain. The sequence is the form.
If you make music, run a label, or hold a private archive of material that has not yet found a place, send links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. Every submission is heard.
The episodes remain free for the first week. After that they move into the Mixcloud subscriber archive. Subscribers also receive Veil Frequencies, the ongoing series of three-hour transmissions—extended traversals rather than selections, moving through a curtain of sound that occasionally seems to register the listener in return.
Mind the flip.

An afterlife lobby after seven days in the fast lane, then an invocation over silent water.
Side A opens the lobby with the fast lane already behind them and the afterlife offering tea, manages a moonless night quite well on its own, surprises the spaghetti western with its Italian dust, lights a psychedelic dungeon that is kind to the walls, grants a silver ending with moss already comfortable in the eyes, and asks about towns that answer or not as they prefer. Side B turns a life’s cycle in an ambient factory, lets the green man dance mid-step in mud lane that is pleased to be a dance floor, stripes the zebras in a savannah already wild and slightly organised, keeps the mission bedridden with the bed already part of the plan, knows the future of flowers by candlelight, and speaks the invocation over water that is already silent and listening.
Overall mood: Amused, and quietly kind — full of open lobbies, comfortable moss, and water that prefers to listen. Perfect for dusk listening, soft dungeons, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.

Side A
Mood mist: an afterlife lobby after seven days in the fast lane, a night that has misplaced its moon, a spaghetti western from Batov, a dungeon that is psychedelic, a silver ending for eyes full of moss, a question about towns.

Magnetic fields.

Blue skies over golden acres, then landscapes that prefer to stay unfinished.
Side A keeps the acres already golden and the skies rather pleased about it, softens an ambient Ibiza so the trickster is slightly surprised, lets the water belong to the sky and walk itself home, remixes a shadow planet by Sam Prekop so the shadows grow longer, celebrates the dark with bats already in formation and bringing a small gift, and keeps the brook underwater and quite content while the library reads from the bottom shelf. Side B places a solaris in ethereal space that is already making room, reflects eyes that are mirrors signalling back, waters the plants with magnetic fields that are quite domestic about the dishes, turns decay into light that is still arriving, mid-turns an emu while the silence is amused, and leaves the landscapes unfinished and happier for the postponement.
Overall mood: Amused, and quietly luminous — full of pleased skies, domestic fields, and landscapes that prefer to stay open. Perfect for dusk listening, soft islands, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.

Side A
Mood mist: blue skies over golden acres, an ambient Ibiza, water that belongs to the sky, a shadow planet remixed by Sam Prekop, bats celebrating the dark, a brook that is underwater and quite content.

The Alchemist.

A Finnish distance that began in a Bristol record shop, then the domain of the moment.
Side A walks the distance already handed over in Rough Trade with the humility already charming, lets the decaying metal frame become an elegant skeleton with good bones, channels the alchemist’s random water so the gold is already considering it, keeps the corridors of glass already listening, wears the desire paths by feet that preferred them while the sun sets in agreement, and dries the tears at the west gate so they can be filed under west. Side B lets the reign of dust live gently, cools the logic as it approaches its asymptote and keeps approaching, focuses stones through forty-year-old tape machines whose edges are already soft, opens the inner so the mystical is already at home, dissolves with the universal solvent until the remainder is interesting, and hands the domain to the moment while the night looks forward to it.
Overall mood: Alchemical, and quietly charming — full of soft edges, open gates, and moments already in charge. Perfect for dusk listening, transparent corridors, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.

Side A
Mood mist: a Finnish distance that began in a Bristol record shop, a metal frame that has become a skeleton, an alchemist who channels the random movements of water, corridors of glass, desire paths for a setting sun, dried tears at a west gate.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 343

Destination Rewind.

A sunset on Venus that trusts the guide, then virga that falls and then thinks better of it.
Side A trusts the guide so the glide is already under way and Venus looks rather pleased, reaches the destination and then politely asks to rewind the last bit, practises the art of being young with the exclusive already warm, lets the echo accept its past with the signature already signed, finds the sprite and the bride both slightly surprised to be in the same room, and accounts for someone who was there in New South Wales. Side B thickens a Finnish mist until it becomes itself, terraces the terrace so thoroughly the cat is already elegant about it, brings the wind from the sea with the sea already agreeing, keeps the world still loved on a kind remaster, cares totally with the ears already filed on the tenth, and lets the virga fall so the third can be the one that stays.
Overall mood: Elegant, and quietly accepted — full of trusted guides, signed acceptances, and thirds that decide to stay. Perfect for dusk listening, open terraces, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 342

Shades of Light.

Ratios that refuse to sit still, then a star named Denebula that may or may not exist.
Side A measures the ratios from slightly different angles and finds the whole thing rather flattering, lets the chicken wear the badge while the noise blushes, sets vibrant matter dancing so the gooseberry can nod along, cracks the cosmic egg into a sequel already writing its memoirs, keeps just moving with the diagrams packing a small suitcase, and lets the neon lights hum a little tune while the virtual woman is quite pleased about it. Side B seats the melancholia in a chair that already understands, lets the shades of light choose their favourites, sends the vector already in flight so the trick can land, lodges the rainmodulator while the dogs and the shadows negotiate a truce, keeps the northern furniture with Autobaba in the other room, and surveys a star named Denebula with the spear already pointing somewhere kind.
Overall mood: Playful, and quietly flattered — full of nodding gooseberries, comfortable chairs, and stars that may or may not exist. Perfect for dusk listening, soft sofas, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.

Side A
Mood mist: ratios that refuse to sit still, a chicken with a fondness for noise, matter that vibrates like a gooseberry in a good mood, an egg that cracked the cosmos and is now doing a sequel, something just moving because it can, neon lights that have opinions.

Side B

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 341

Make it Forever.

A sweep beneath the trees, then a nowhere that sometimes falls from the sky.
Side A softens the broom so the trees can listen, warms a Redford in sheepskin already filed in the library archive, perfects the spelling of a church of gadzooks over a wistful abyss, decides the duration forever with the tenderness already in place, colours the black mud with rainbow noise that is already kind, and hangs the pictures so the calm after the storm can arrive. Side B drops placid under red stars, shares southern lands with the three already south, keeps a secret jungle private with the rivers already quiet, lets go of something with the place already named in the letting, speaks the magical combination of words so everything is ok forever, and receives a nowhere that falls from a generous sky.
Overall mood: Tender, and quietly decided — full of soft brooms, open archives, and words that settle everything. Perfect for dusk listening, quiet rivers, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.

Side A
Mood mist: a sweep beneath the trees, a Redford in sheepskin from the library archive, a church of gadzooks over a wistful abyss, a request to make it forever, rainbow noise in black mud, the calm that follows the weather.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 340

Best of 11.

Another reel of the Virtual Cassette Library begins. Twelve tracks, two sides. A virtual cassette that turns itself at the halfway mark, the oxide catching just long enough to mark the seam before the second side continues.
These are not playlists. Each episode is structured as a pair of continuous DJ sets: six tracks on each side, mixed and stitched so the joins sit almost inside the grain. The sequence is the form.
If you make music, run a label, or hold a private archive of material that has not yet found a place, send links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. Every submission is heard.
The episodes remain free for the first week. After that they move into the Mixcloud subscriber archive. Subscribers also receive Veil Frequencies, the ongoing series of three-hour transmissions—extended traversals rather than selections, moving through a curtain of sound that occasionally seems to register the listener in return.
Mind the flip.

A thought that turns out to be you, then a fever on the moon.
Side A smiles the vocoder so the thought is already correct, circles a May date in the grain of Häpna’s cousin, remixes the sweet for a village already soft and home, leaves the unomia still naming itself in kind light, melts the broken date so it keeps glowing, and lets the black gold of the sun sing while the sun listens. Side B makes the life already under way with the colour decided, softens the industry of children and grants the right, covers in fog that lifts in its own time, numbers the product twenty-nine so the room is already full of it, lets the tired aunt rest while the rhythm still walks, and runs the lunar fever with the voyage already under way.
Overall mood: Warm, slightly nostalgic, and quietly decided — full of smiling vocoders, soft factories, and voyages already under way. Perfect for dusk listening, open calendars, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.

Side A
Mood mist: a thought that turns out to be you, a May date filed under datum, a sweet remixed for a quiet village, a unomia still naming itself, a broken date in galactic melt, black gold of the sun.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 339

Organic Vibe.

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.

The shows stay free for the first week. After that they slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers. 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.

I hope you enjoy the adventure. Mind the flip.

A whistle mapped into silence, then a spring that prefers to vanish quietly.
Side A draws the map so the silence can answer, lets the music of the spheres burn bright and kind, rests the tongue in cold shadows under a solar scream, warms a tiny stone in a brief perfect drift, holds quiet music from Toronto in the lake, and draws a crystal so the page already shines. Side B cooks a beacon for a kind visitation, lengthens an afternoon in warm fur, grows an organic vibe in the factory that is already alive, shares a symbiosis in a lost city already found, opens a Shangri-La reverie for the valley, and lets the spring arrive so the vanishing can stay soft.
Overall mood: Luminous, and quietly kind — full of answering silences, shared rooms, and springs that know how to leave. Perfect for dusk listening, soft cities, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.

Side A
Mood mist: a whistle mapped into silence, a bright burn from the music of the spheres, a tongue resting in cold shadows under a solar scream, a tiny stone drifting, quiet music from Toronto, a crystal drawn rather than cut.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 338

The River.

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.

I hope you enjoy the adventure. Mind the flip.

A moon and her sisters in the retort, then a hop that is already well.
Side A keeps the moons already in the flask while the gold forms, holds home at a gentle distance with something greater already walking beside you, lets everything shine from within with the glow still in the grain, sighs a heart across the galaxy while despair and hope share the EP, leaves the plea soft after the kilometre is walked, and warms an egg in the suburbs with the hedge already quiet. Side B takes one small step with the boot already on the surface, opens the code in the swirl so it can read itself, populates a soft suburb with eleven marble dogs, lets the river know the way so you may follow, leaves a lost city still waiting in the hidden kingdoms, and lands the hop already well with the mezze on the table.
Overall mood: Luminous, and quietly kind — full of warm shells, open ciphers, and tables already set. Perfect for dusk listening, soft suburbs, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.

Side A
Mood mist: a moon and her sisters in the retort, a home kept at a gentle distance, everything shining from within, a heart sighing across the galaxy, a plea left soft, an egg in the suburbs.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 337

Temptation.

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.

I hope you enjoy the adventure. Mind the flip.

An adventure for the one who must be obeyed, then a sky watched in company.
Side A keeps Haggard’s flame warm in the sequence, reaches the pole with the radio still crackling from the ice, folds the shroud so the outline remains kind, pours a small aperitif before the meal, finds the empire still in the foundations under the roads, and leaves temptation numbered among sixty-four fluxes on the table for you to look. Side B keeps the past still sitting in the chair, grazes elk on a coastal flat with the window open, shares a long look from the mezze table, projects a holographic father already solid and familiar, lets the hearts decide on forever with the pulse steady, and watches the weight of the night sky together while the desert holds both of you.
Overall mood: Mythic, and quietly shared — full of open windows, warm maps, and skies that prefer company. Perfect for dusk listening, coastal flats, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.

Side A
Mood mist: an adventure for the one who must be obeyed, an admiral at the pole, a shroud folded in an elegy, an aperitif for the young, an empire still in the foundations, a temptation numbered among sixty-four fluxes.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 336

Only Days and Memories.

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.

I hope you enjoy the adventure. Mind the flip.

Crystals from an inner world, then business that prefers the porch.
Side A lets the visitor already inside sing through the facets, keeps a Norfolk village on the shingle with the sea still close enough to hear, sits a denizen at the last stop of the line, pots anise and gamma in a grass-roots zen, lets the houseplant keep its own water on the windowsill, and clears a shelf for a zen small enough to fit. Side B softens the second dawn from the nights, rules a summer by herbs with the king still on the sill, drifts slowly for the people who keep the planes flying, holds an angle sharp in the sprawl, files only days and memories with the dialect still in the grain, and keeps the appointment on a porch where the piano is already in the wood.
Overall mood: Domestic, and quietly luminous — full of windowsills, last stops, and porches that have already sat down. Perfect for dusk listening, village stations, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.

Side A
Mood mist: crystals from an inner world, a Norfolk village on the shingle, a denizen at the end of the line, anise and gamma in a grass-roots zen, a houseplant doing its quiet work, a zen small enough to fit on a shelf.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 335

Hippies Need Houses.

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.

I hope you enjoy the adventure. Mind the flip.

A monster, a music box and a toy Dalek sharing a loch, then a scream addressed to you.
Side A makes tea for three guests at the same water, finds houses for the long-haired with the roof already on, leaves a face deciding to arrive at the free fire, thinks on a Swedish summer afternoon while the pond remembers Atlantis, rings a modern call during migration, and lets the waterfall do the drapery for the live figure. Side B distils essences numbered one-point-one with the exploration still open, scans the stacks with the card catalogue still listening, faces the chorale toward the warmer wall, invites you across the threshold with the kettle already on, holds the room in a thrice-holy hymn, and keeps a place for the scream that already knows your name.
Overall mood: Eccentric, and quietly welcoming — full of open doors, free fires, and co-ops that keep a place for the loud one. Perfect for dusk listening, garden ponds, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.

Side A
Mood mist: a monster, a music box and a toy Dalek sharing a loch, houses for the long-haired, a face left at the door, thoughts on a Swedish summer afternoon, a modern call during migration, a figure by falling water, live and unclothed.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 334

Animal Rain.

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.

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. 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.

I hope you enjoy the adventure. Mind the flip.

A voice returning after the cold months, then fortunes drifting offshore.
Side A stitches the voice back into the static once the winter has stepped aside, marks a path home through ruins on a planet whose stars are crashing, keeps the balance beyond words, dreams the future into the present on a planet of seers, ties the bionic score against the snowsuit and is happy about it, and walks the dream-road to a city that lives only in sleep. Side B lets the corridors forget the year while still holding the echo, keeps the smallest particle that binds a universe, holds the question of consciousness with arms still raised, draws one line from an unknown source enough to hold the page, lets animals arrive politely from the sky, and drops the coins still turning into water already waiting.
Overall mood: Mythic, and quietly open — full of detuned lullabies, unfinished questions, and roads that still accept entries. Perfect for dusk listening, silent rooms, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.

Side A
Mood mist: a voice returning after the cold months, a path home through ruins, balance beyond words, dreams on a planet of seers, a bionic man in a snowsuit, a road to a city that lives in dreams.

Side B

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 333

Blue Azure Horizon.

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.

I hope you enjoy the adventure. Mind the flip.

A system number left on a faded sign, then a horizon the colour of the title.
Side A leaves the lettering still readable if you stand at the right angle, remixes ladders through a Sussex exchange with the rungs already warm, keeps the amniotic membrane grateful for the quiet, lets dust remember the sea just close enough for a little silt, edits a nomad for a decade of Batov still open in the stacks, and lets the dub smoulder so the ember does the work of the flame. Side B reconnects a piano and a vibraphone after thirty years with the conversation still open, holds the tunnel’s echo of the last train and the next that may yet come, lets the ornamental letter arrive with its loops intact, teaches seagulls the steps while the shoreline keeps time, keeps a Toronto live tape warm from the floor with the imperfections as the point, and stays where the sky decides to stay.
Overall mood: Slightly archival, and quietly warm — full of faded signs, open conversations, and horizons that know their own colour. Perfect for dusk listening, abandoned locations still holding sound, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.

Side A
Mood mist: a system number left on a faded sign, ladders remixed by a Sussex exchange, a membrane of amniotic calm, dust that still remembers the sea, a nomad edited for a decade of Batov, a dub that prefers to smoulder.

00:02:18 fluXus – SYS826
(Exclusive track)
Album: Ghost Signs. Label: Castles In Space
https://fluxus-cis.bandcamp.com/album/ghost-signs
The lettering still readable if you stand at the right angle. The system still answering.

00:11:45 Kinoscape – Amnion
https://inthemood2.bandcamp.com/track/amnion
Album: Ambient Factory I. Label: In The Mood
The membrane that keeps the quiet in, and the quiet grateful.
00:17:25 Ghostloop – Into Dust
https://norayrecords.bandcamp.com/track/into-dust
Album: The Distant Sea. Label: Noray Records
The water far enough to hear, close enough to leave a little silt on the sleeve.
00:19:39 Mamman Sani & Tropikal Camel – Nomadic (Batov Edit)
https://batovrecords.bandcamp.com/track/nomadic-batov-edit
Album: Around The Sun – Batov Records – 10 Years. Label: Batov Records

00:21:56 [moosdohmen] x Press any Key – Slow Burn Dub
https://camembertelectrique.bandcamp.com/track/slow-burn-dub-2
Album: BURNED DUBS. Label: Camembert Électrique
The ember doing the work of the flame, and taking its time.

Side B
Mood mist: a piano and a vibraphone catching up after thirty years, a tunnel still holding its echo, a correspondence in ornamental script, seagulls learning the steps, a Toronto live tape still warm from the floor, a horizon the colour of the title.

00:29:24 Robert Mitchell & Corey Mwamba – In The Blood

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 332

I Can Still Feel The Earth Turn

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.

I hope you enjoy the adventure. Mind the flip.

A harbour drawn in soft pencil, then a cloud school ringing a horn of greeting.
Side A keeps the seaweed’s appointment with the tide, still feels the earth turn under autumn leaves, dwells in holds large enough to stay, leaves an uncatalogued card in the drawer on purpose, lets silent water hold its breath so you can hear the room, and insists the clock has already spoken. Side B prefers the present tense inside a mutual blur, arrives as “we” with the nights already longer, receives a sincere note from the mothership, pauses between acts with the curtain half-raised, clips the verbs of quiet figures so the meaning stays intact, and lets the low cloud say hello in its own register.
Overall mood: Slightly seasonal, and quietly precise — full of soft harbours, open scores, and sentences shortened but still whole. Perfect for dusk listening, houses that are still listening, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.

Side A
Mood mist: a harbour drawn in soft pencil, an earth still turning under autumn, holds large enough to dwell in, a card left out of the catalogue, water that keeps its counsel, a clock that insists on the hour.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 331

Follow The Waves

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.

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.

I hope you enjoy the adventure. Mind the flip.

A sundial turned inward, then a boat named in two languages.
Side A writes its hours in a Canadian winter while the light inside learns to keep its own, holds the shape of callers who have already left, leaves a glimmer on for the night, lets the ocean breathe along the path, builds architecture that knows its own duration and still stands, and rearranges the light so it remains in the living room. Side B follows the grey sea whose fog already knows the way, crosses a forest at funk speed in under a minute, walks an old earthwork in a hidden kingdom still open for entries, listens to an Estonian runway listening back, switches on the first light of a galactic passenger, and names the boat once on each side of the hull.
Overall mood: Contemplative, slightly seasonal, and quietly luminous — full of little lights left on, temporary buildings, and seas that already know the way. Perfect for dusk listening, houses with a curse, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.

Side A
Mood mist: a sundial turned inward, callers who have already left the hall, a glimmer left on overnight, an ocean breathing along a path, architecture that knows it is temporary, light pulled gently into a living room.
