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 “Tenebris” by friend of the channel Gareth Evans, also known as own as HDRF. Available on the upcoming compilation “The Mystery of the Night”. Dropping June 26 on my own Bandcamp page. There is still time for you to get your entries in. 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 00:00:00 Edward Givens – Somber Meditation A deeply introspective and solemn ambient piece with minimalist piano and subtle atmospheric layers. It creates a contemplative, almost sacred space for quiet reflection. 00:06:04 Talkdemonic – Two Weeks Cinematic ambient/post-rock from Kevin O’Connor. Driving yet melodic rhythms and evocative textures build a sense of emotional urgency and forward motion. 00:07:32 Ghostloop – Wired dialogue Minimal, melodic drone ambient with gentle, interconnected layers. It feels like a quiet conversation between electronic voices—intimate, thoughtful, and unfolding in real time. 00:11:37 Spheruleus – Olympus Days Warm, mythic ambient from The Lost Catalogue. Glowing drones and celestial textures evoke sunlit marble ruins and timeless, god-like serenity. 00:14:30 Silence & The Unwinking Minds – Conjure Textural, immersive ambient blending lush electronics with gritty, tape-saturated edges. A slow invocation that conjures unexpected beauty from tension and shadow. 00:17:45 36 – Symmetry Systems (Indigo) Elegant, crystalline ambient from Dennis Huddleston. Perfectly balanced harmonic layers in deep indigo hues create a sense of infinite symmetry and emotional clarity. 00:20:04 HDRF – Tenebris Dark, mysterious ambient exploring the enigma of night. Rich, shadowy drones and subtle nocturnal details draw you into the unknown. 00:23:43 Bahrambient, Retland, Kilometre Club – Cumulonimbus (Lauge Rework) Expansive, cloud-like ambient with soaring, stormy grandeur. Lauge’s rework adds depth and movement to these towering, atmospheric formations. Side B 00:26:48 OID – Rodn Intriguing, paradox-laden ambient with unique sonic character. Dense yet spacious, it rewards deep listening with hidden details and shifting perspectives. 00:34:50 Binaural Space – Artificial Storm Immersive, spatial ambient simulating a manufactured tempest. Binaural recording techniques place you inside swirling winds and electric tension. 00:37:15 Oberlin – (It Is A) Taboo Raw, underground ambient/electronic exploration. Bold and slightly transgressive textures push boundaries in a hypnotic, session-style recording. 00:46:51 Ed Herbers – Calculated Risk Cinematic, narrative-driven ambient with a sense of quiet peril. Tense yet beautiful layers evoke high-stakes decisions in unknown territory.
Good day to you listeners, wherever you are. This is Trevor. Welcome to one of these spontaneous episodes – music from all over the world, sparked by a single track that appears somewhere inside the set. This episode titled Obsidian Mountain Quest is based on the track “dreamt i was born on a mountain” by “anthéne”, from the album “Air Signs” , which comes out on May 22 via channel supporting label DRONARIVM. All the other tracks happened to just fit the vibe. If you’d like to be featured send file links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com If you can, subscribe, even if it’s just for the month it would be a great help. 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.
00:00:00 Ali Wade – Xenophyophore Deep, organic ambient exploring the mysterious world of xenophyophores—giant single-celled deep-sea organisms. Subtle, textural layers and slow geological movement create an alien yet immersive underwater atmosphere. 00:05:03 Tom Eaton – Before Obsidian(from Elements-Fire) Warm, glowing ambient with rich, fiery undertones. Slow-burning pads and subtle melodic embers evoke the transformative power of fire and the moments just before intense change. 00:14:05 Martin Allin – Learning Is Remembering Reflective, philosophical ambient built on gentle, evolving textures. A contemplative piece that feels like rediscovering forgotten knowledge through soft, unfolding soundscapes. 00:20:01 OGRE Sound – Insects That Haunted As Well As Fed Atmospheric, narrative-driven ambient with a slightly dark, cinematic edge. Evokes the dual nature of nature—beauty and unease—through intricate, haunting textures. 00:23:33 jarguna – Soul of Ganga (with Lorenzo Squillari) Spiritual, flowing ambient inspired by the sacred Ganges River. Deep drones, watery textures, and meditative atmospheres capture both serenity and ancient power. 00:32:40 arovane – youd Delicate, intricate IDM-tinged ambient from Uwe Zahn. Microscopic details, glitchy fragments, and warm melodic threads create a beautifully fragile, polymer-like sound world. 00:37:07 Christophe Bailleau – Katpur (with Paradise Now) Mysterious, moonlit ambient with subtle rhythmic undercurrents. Ethereal and slightly ritualistic, it drifts through nocturnal, vertical phases of sound. 00:39:05 Roderick Shoolbraid – Nonagon Geometric, hypnotic ambient built around nine-sided symmetry. Clean, precise layers and evolving patterns create a sense of sacred geometry in sound. 00:43:01 Desprecio Nauseabundo – Desperate Loss of Material Things & its Obsessive Consequences Dark, experimental ambient exploring obsession and loss. Dense, unsettling textures and collapsing structures form a psychological, noise-tinged descent. 00:52:07 Coco Francavilla – The Stars Dance in Circles Celestial, dreamy ambient with graceful, orbiting movements. Shimmering synths and cosmic elegance evoke stars in eternal, circular motion. 00:54:48 Everyday Dust – Oblivione X Vast, foghorn-laden landscape ambient. Immersive and cinematic, it paints forgotten valleys and distant, echoing oblivion. 01:03:32 Sebby Kowal – Shinjuku Urban, nocturnal ambient capturing the electric pulse of Tokyo’s Shinjuku district. Neon reflections and bustling stillness blend into a moody, atmospheric portrait. 01:07:52 anthéne – dreamt i was born on a mountain Light, airy guitar-based ambient from the Air Signs album. Gentle loops, swells, and natural textures evoke mountain-born freedom and wide-open skies. 01:13:48 Letters From Mouse – Quest Affric Analogue-driven Scottish ambient with bubbling synths and exploratory spirit. A quest-like journey through misty, engrammatic landscapes.

At least two of the tracks contain the Bucla Music Easel.
The A side contains “On The Waves Of Neptune” an exclusive from the album “Where Trees Go To Die” the latest offering from Stone Anthem, a hallucinatory journey through ambient textures, dense organic drones, and otherworldly frequencies. Layering field recordings, modular synthesis, and hushed vocals, the album was created in an attempt to maximise immersion and create a sonic field of bliss, a slow-evolving soundscape where perception bends and time dissolves. The album’s initial blueprint was created in a quiet hamlet in the Spanish mountains in 2023 with very little equipment. So the scenery of forests and mountains were a great influence on the album’s development. This is also from where all of the field recordings on the album were sourced.
Castles in Space is delighted to be working with this charismatic, vibrant and super-talented young artist. He’s just turned 18.
The B side contains an exclusive by colab who I know nothing about and I don’t believe are the Georgian Hard techno outfit. The track here, Troubled appears on the Bricolage labels 27 track compilation album X celebrating their 10th year of magical releases. It’s a ‘who’s who’ of the label past, present and future. Do check it out. Links to everything played are in the show notes and in the comments.
I won’t be commenting between the tracks. You can join nanogods poetic visualisations on the time line. Don’t be shy.

Vocals from Morgan, Tommy, Fernanda González, Juan Cordova, and Juan Pablo Ortíz rise like mist from the undergrowth, weaving through classical guitar and delicate electronics.
