Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 309
Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.
Trevor here. You’ve pressed play on another 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 wounded, oceanic ambient journey through blinking cellars, wild roses, and depths that never learned the names of fish.
Side A teaches green cellar walls to blink, then breathes through a Mersey scar, keeps a dolphin spare room, waits for a poppy to bloom, writes Hosono’s letter to the planet’s mother, and holds forty-nine seconds of sunset. Side B rains on Caladan, folds a week into a lobby between lives, climbs a twelve-minute Tucson staircase, keeps Batov moving at the gate, sits bathyal until the feeling grows gills, and ends with a piano-fed bird between two machines.
Overall mood: Tender, slightly raw, and deeply watery — full of Passed Oceans, analog compassion, and rooms that refuse to close. Perfect for late listening, sitting with a scar, or letting the rain read you while the next spool waits.
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.
00:01:20 Altus – The Pulse of Protocols
https://altusmusic.bandcamp.com/track/the-pulse-of-protocols
From the album “Echo Bloom” on Altus Music.
A cellar full of green light teaching the walls how to blink. Eight small machines agreeing, for once, on the same heartbeat.
00:06:02 autumna – the surgery and scar
https://autumna.bandcamp.com/track/the-surgery-and-scar
From the album “oxygen and light”.
Liverpool as an open wound that breathes. Scouse vowels drifting over the Mersey like stitches that won’t close
00:09:17 purplekairi1312 – dolphin sanctuary
https://passedrecordings.bandcamp.com/track/dolphin-sanctuary
A noise in the hall that was only ever a dream. The ocean keeping a spare room for things that never learned to walk.
00:13:32 Martin Pyne – And Then A Poppy Blooms
https://discusmusic.bandcamp.com/
An exclusive track from the forthcoming album “Trios” out on Discus Music 25 September.
Vibraphone petals opening on a chalk hillside. Three players standing still enough for a flower to decide it is safe.

https://haruomihosono.bandcamp.com/track/to-a-wild-rose
From the album “Yours Sincerely” out on Ghostly International.
A seventy-eight-year-old man writing a letter to the planet’s mother and signing it with an oceanside hum. Compassion trying on an English coat that fits.
00:16:40 Fran Carlyon – Sunset
https://francarlyon.bandcamp.com/track/sunset

Forty-nine seconds of a fallen tree still reaching. Chaos in the heartlands pretending it’s found a window.
00:17:44 Akinetic – Rains of Caladan
https://passedrecordings.bandcamp.com/track/rains-of-caladan
The second of three pieces from the “Passed Oceans” compilation.
You are a protein complex reading the weather. Sacramento rain falling on a planet that only exists in the margins of a novel.

https://rakurecords.bandcamp.com/track/l-infantile-alprazolam-mix

Self released single. Neglectsound are from Tucson, Arizona.

https://batovrecords.bandcamp.com/track/movin
From the compilation album “Around The Sun – Batov Records – 10 Years”
Ten years of Batov grooves packed into one suitcase that will not sit still. Ethio-jazz tapping its foot at the departure gate.
00:49:16 spectral void – Bathyal
https://passedrecordings.bandcamp.com/track/bathyal
The third piece from the compilation album “Passed Oceans”.
Not to be confused with the black metal band of the same name.
The part of the ocean that never learned the names of the fish in it. An Indian composer sitting with a feeling until the feeling grows gills.
00:57:00 Jogging House – Beak
https://jogginghouse.bandcamp.com/track/beak
From the album “Really”.
Piano phrases sent through the post, then fed to tape like breadcrumbs. A bird dwells in the space between two machines.
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?

Welcome to episode 202 of the Virtual Cassette Library – music from all over the world, sparked by a single track that sets the tone for the set.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 312
LISTEN HERE
Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.
Trevor here. You’ve pressed play on another 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.
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 also receive the expanding series of 3-hour adventures titled Veil Frequencies.
Now imagine each episode as a colossal rotating stage — a great mechanical blooming lotus. You, the audience only ever glimpse a sliver of it at a time. Every artist is allotted the exact time it takes them to perform their piece. Then they rotate out of view, and the next act glides in. The stage spins at whatever speed the track demands.
The names of the artists and labels I’ll mention before each set — or “side,” as the cassette alchemists call them. Six little incantations per set, plus a general mist of what mood to expect.
Now the stage begins to turn.
A luminous, slightly forensic ambient journey through corridors of evidence, papery lanterns, and planets that have not finished burning.
Side A opens an investigation the cameras invent as they roll, then cracks a cosmic oval, grows emerald armour between patio bricks, combs strings into sand that will not stay, squeezes two minutes of smear-test whimsy, and ends on a wind prayer written for people and cats.
Side B walks dry iron valleys toward utopian lullabies, cuts others from the seventh gemstone tray, argues a Messiah into demo clothes, wires splendour so slowly it can curve, refuses to hurry its illusions, and keeps Batov’s ten-year sun turning with all it can do.
Overall mood: Contemplative, analog, and quietly jewelled — full of evidence the ghost leaves behind, sand still deciding, and light that knows which pocket it came from. Perfect for late listening, slow wiring, or sitting with the corridor while the next spool still waits.
00:03:06 Department of Light – Investigation #1
https://theastralrealms.bandcamp.com/track/investigation-1
Album: ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆
Label: The Dream Journal Institute
Sofia walks a corridor that only exists when the cameras are rolling. Five triangles of evidence. The library fund gets whatever the ghost leaves behind.
00:09:07 Michael Brückner – Coda (A Pure Oval Shape)
https://cyclicaldreams.bandcamp.com/track/coda-a-pure-oval-shape
Album: The Egg in the Cosmic Crack [CYD 0165]
Label: Cyclical Dreams
An oval so clean it could be an eye or an Ei. The cosmic egg cracks, then politely puts itself back together for the coda.
00:13:06 Soda Lite – Emerald Armour
https://soda-lite.bandcamp.com/album/011-soda-lite-cape-gooseberry
Album: 011: Soda Lite (Cape Gooseberry)
Label: Music To Watch Seeds Grow By
Cape gooseberry armour — a papery lantern grown between patio bricks. The plant singing on a cliff that did not invite an audience.
00:16:05 Trem 77 – Staers
https://trem77.bandcamp.com/track/staers
Album: Textural Colour Spectrum Sandpainting
Henrik’s strings combed into sand. A painting you are not allowed to keep; only to notice while the grains are still deciding.
00:22:47 Daily Mail Comments Section – A Short Song About Sex
https://enofa.bandcamp.com/track/a-short-song-about-sex
Album: Now That’s What I Call Smear Test
Two minutes of smear-test pop that arrived in a dream before Charli could steal the name. Whimsy wearing steel-capped boots.
00:23:37 Frank Pels – Wind Prayer
https://ambientcat.bandcamp.com/track/wind-prayer
Album: Voyager
Label: Ambient Cat
A wind prayer written for people and for cats. Voyager opening a window the size of a synth trail and calling it home.
00:29:07 Fallen – From Dry Iron Valleys to Utopian Realms
https://touched.bandcamp.com/track/from-dry-iron-valleys-to-utopian-realms-2
Album: Stars are Crashing, Home are Burning, Hearts are Changing-Notes from a Distant World/Detuned Lullabies for the Old Planet
Label: Touched Music
Dry iron valleys emptying into a realm that believes in lullabies. Forty-one records walking toward a planet that has not finished burning.
00:39:15 AeTopus – Others
https://cyclicaldreams.bandcamp.com/track/aetopus-others
Album: Gemstones VII [CYD 0166]
Label: Cyclical Dreams
Others, cut from the seventh tray of gemstones. Berlin School light bouncing off a stone that knows which pocket it came from.
00:43:25 SPTW – Messiah (demo version)
https://mahorka.bandcamp.com/track/messiah-demo-version
Album: EUTHYMIA
Label: Mahorka.
Messiah in demo clothes. SP-404 and an MPC arguing with pencils and bottles until euthymia agrees to sit still.
00:45:02 Dirk Serries – Slowly Wired
https://projektrecords.bandcamp.com/
Album: Curves of Splendor
Label: Projekt Records
Guitar wired so slowly the splendour has time to curve. VidnaObmana’s cousin taking the long way around the intrusive world.
00:56:21 DUSQ – Illusions
https://daydreamerslabel.bandcamp.com/track/illusions
Single: Illusions.
Label: Daydreamers
Illusions that refuse to hurry. Belarus folded into Daydreamers’ fourth quiet continuation.
00:58:55 Wax Machine – All I Can Do
https://batovrecords.bandcamp.com/track/all-i-can-do
Album: Around The Sun – Batov Records – 10 Years
Label: Batov Records
All they can do is keep the ten-year sun turning. Batov’s suitcase still unpacked on the rotating floor.
This has been The Virtual Cassette Library, episode 312.
Travel safely between the frequencies.
I’ll meet you on the other side of the next spool.
