Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 297
www.mixcloud.com/djsofabed/tvcl-297/
Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.
Trevor here. You’ve pressed play on another fragile spool of the Virtual Cassette Library. Twelve-track virtual cassettes that flips themselves at the halfway mark.
If you make music, or run a label, and fancy a place in the library, send your links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I read every one. Promise.
Tips and subscriptions keep the reels turning. Every little helps the library stay open after dark.
A coastal, living-system ambient journey through sea-stares, underwater spheres, and second natures.
Side A watches the sea from Sausage Studios, then drifts across unnamed water, residual cellar vectors, tape-warm circles, dancing offertorio light, and one-take Maenporth fall. Side B opens a hidden kantele harmony, mixes smoke and sound in real time, breathes under Yiddish trees, sits with an oracle, walks Sanibel’s helix, and comes back to the world.
Overall mood: Gentle, organic, and quietly luminous — full of water, weather, and small living systems. Perfect for morning listening, nature walks, or sitting still while things fall out of the sky.
The shows remain free for the first week, then 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 receive the expanding series of 3-hour adventures titled Veil Frequencies. They also get the ever-growing advance version of the forthcoming compilation Quiet Figures.
The tape unspools its visions.
00:00:00 Mike Dickinson – Bonus Track – Staring at The Sea – V1 Demo
Mike Dickinson – Bonus Track – Staring at The Sea – V1 Demo. Mrs Moore still climbs the desks as Space-bat-Angel-Dragon. Microkorg, Maschine, Odyssey and Minilogue voice the outsider at Sausage Studios.
00:05:28 Mensa Group International – Pokoponesia
Mensa Group International – Pokoponesia. Ailanthus colours drift across unnamed water.
00:07:16 Altus – Residual Vector Drift
Altus – Residual Vector Drift. Mike Carss works eight tracks in the Green Cellar through January and February.
00:13:53 Foam and Sand – Circle 66 feat. Priscilla Ahn
Foam and Sand – Circle 66 feat. Priscilla Ahn. Analog synths, live vibraphone, chimes and bells pass through tape warmth. Robot Koch keeps the invitation quiet.
00:17:57 Salamanda – Offertorio
Salamanda – Offertorio. Bubbles, refracting light and dancing underwater spheres. Profits from physical Sphere copies travel to the Korean Women’s Hotline.
00:20:47 Fran Carlyon – Sometimes (they just fall out of the sky) remaster
Fran Carlyon – Sometimes (they just fall out of the sky) remaster. Guitar recorded overlooking Maenporth waves. Kosmische keys overdubbed later in Hockley, one take.
The cassette reaches its midpoint and turns.
00:22:14 Shakali – Toinen Luonto
Shakali – Toinen Luonto. Thirty-six-string kantele, bowls, bells, reeds, wind and water. Julian Overall’s soprano, Timo’s udu, Roy Werner’s sequencers and Les Halles’ flute simmer in hidden harmony.
00:29:02 Perrache – Schall und Rauch
Perrache – Schall und Rauch. Two Fostex four-tracks mix in real time. Doubled layers nod toward Spector and open a spaghetti-western theme. Names prove transitory.
00:32:22 Beymer – Otemen (Breathe)
Beymer – Otemen (Breathe). Daniel Field’s Yiddish trees. Calming recordings and simple synths gather beneath the canopy.
00:34:14 Lillies For Ever – Oracle III
Lillies For Ever – Oracle III. Captivation arrives as peace.
00:43:55 Green-House – Sanibel
Green-House – Sanibel. Named for a Florida island of first nature-walks. Melody and harmonics helix. Kaleidoscopic guitar and bubbling synths mimic a larger living system.
00:45:55 Hunter Complex – Back to the World
Hunter Complex – Back to the World. Flute, trumpet, acoustic guitar and harmonica join lush piano. Inner peace uses weather and water as metaphor.
The visions complete their circle.
The oxide continues its quiet journey until the end of the spool.
Also in the works: the next compilation, Quiet Figures, release date 26 September.
Uncover the narratives whispered by the silent, ever-present figures that shadow us, through compositions that unravel their hidden mysteries.
Does that stir anything?

Library Music
Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to the new Virtual Cassette Library – music from all over the world, sparked by a single track that sets the tone for the set. This is a 60 minute virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark. If and when I get a couple more subscribers then I’ll go back to doing 90 minute versions, complete with commentary.
This episode is based on the track “They Are Coming Back! (Possibly Maybe)” by friend of the channel Uncle Fido. Available through his alter ego Binaural Space. Dropped May 1.
If you make music 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.
And if you’re enjoying the channel, please consider subscribing — even if it’s just for a month, it makes a real difference.
So settle in, turn it up a bit if you can, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it.
No breaks, just the music.
Side A

Atmospheric, filmic ambient with noir-ish tension and subtle cinematic movement. Moody and immersive.

Warm, spacious ambient drift focused on calm and gentle resonance. Soothing and centred.

Sparse, emotionally charged ambient with patient tension and minimalist beauty. Haunting and poignant.
00:12:04 Omni Gardens – Grassland
Gentle, sun-dappled ambient with soft synths and organic, pastoral calm. Lush and serene.
00:14:13 TALsounds – Slides
Dreamy, fluid vocal-electronic layers with shifting, slippery textures. Hypnotic and otherworldly.
00:20:34 4T Thieves – The Empty Quarter
Vast, desolate ambient desert soundscapes with warm drones and subtle wind-like motion. Expansive and isolating.
00:24:39 Sven Wunder – Deep Sea
Lush, cinematic exotica/jazz with rich percussion and underwater mystique. Groovy and immersive.
00:27:17 Syrinx – Hollywood Dream Trip
Psychedelic 70s library-inspired trip with swirling analogue warmth and dreamy haze. Nostalgic and hypnotic.
00:32:05 Elijah Fox – Never Let Me Go
Tender, melancholic piano-led piece with intimate emotion and soft jazz warmth. Heartfelt and delicate.

Expansive, flowing ambient with rich harmonic layers and profound spatial depth. Meditative and majestic.
00:39:30 Oscar Rocchi, Franco Godi – Pseudomistica

00:41:17 Moon Mullins – The Slip
Loose, slippery ambient jazz with gentle grooves and hazy, nocturnal feel. Relaxed and smoky.

Precise, minimalist electronic study with clean lines and subtle rhythmic intrigue. Elegant and focused.
00:45:46 The New Honey Shade – Taaffeite
Crystalline, gem-like ambient with shimmering textures and quiet luminosity. Delicate and precious.
00:46:12 Green-House – Lichen Maps
Organic, botanical ambient with soft synths and earthy, growing warmth. Nurturing and detailed.
00:49:22 Mark Ellery Griffiths – The Meadow
Peaceful, sunlit pastoral ambient with gentle field-like openness. Calm and verdant.
00:53:49 Gilroy Mere – The Downs
Evocative English landscape ambient with nostalgic, rolling countryside warmth. Pastoral and wistful.
00:57:14 Michael J. York – And They Shall Have Stars

“Evening all. Episode one-five-zero of the Virtual Cassette Library. Subtitled Nothing Them Myth. That’s the track you can hear underneath, and it’s also a location you can find on a map. I filmed it—it’s up on YouTube if you’re curious.
I’m Trevor. Ninety minutes, two sides, fifteen tracks each. Tonight you’ll hear Enofa, Mint Deluxe, and my own piece Isolated Elastic Ripples. Andrew Spackman, Akira Film Script on whitelabrecs, and Talkdemonic are in the mix. Later on, Harald Grosskopf, Polypores, and Please Close Your Eyes bring their worlds of ambient, kosmische, and experimental electronics. Labels orbiting here include Third Kind Records, Kahvi Collective, Ingrown, Imaginary North, and Projekt.
On the B side: amble, Toxic Chicken, Rob Dobson, Sun Rain, and Moray Newlands. Genres drift from drone and ambient to leftfield folk textures and cosmic synth explorations.
The eighth TVCL album is on Bandcamp for pre‑order—it drops when we hit sixteen tracks. Every comment, every like, every subscription keeps the frequencies flowing. So—headphones on, let time dissolve, and let the music claim you.”

EXPANSIVE WAVES 01
Here’s a not so original idea for a show, but us nerdy radio profiles get a lot of music through our channels. Quite a bit of it is long form which is not so suited for radio shows. It takes up too much time which means they get left unplayed. I know DJ Space Terrapin hosts Continental Drift but why should he have all the fun? Here’s my version. 8 tracks that have to be at least 12 minutes long. For how ever long that takes. In this episode that being over 2 and a half hours.
survey channel – Dirt Bike
synkrotron – Drone Day 2025
Tim Six – Alpine Valley (Night)
John Scott Shepherd & Jamie Zarfas – Zone 4 + 1
Ran Kirlian – Starmaker
*Autistici, Russ Young & Corey Gordon – Observing Hyphae
*Hiram – Slow Growth
