EXPANSIVE WAVES — EPISODE 23
11 February 2026
Good evening, or morning, or whatever fragment of time you’ve found yourself in. This is Expansive Waves, episode twenty-three. I’m Trevor—your host, your guide, your occasional sonic conspirator.
Tonight’s programme is not for the hurried. Eight pieces, each longer than 12 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.
So, settle in. Let the kettle boil. Let the cat sleep. Let the world spin without you for a while.
We begin with a vast, unfolding live session that feels like drifting through forgotten orbital debris.
This is Secret Nuclear with Omega Redux. A NYP 45-minute live recording of six pieces from last summer, first heard on Kate Bosworth’s DARK TRAIN radio show. Broadcast on 21 July 2025. Layered with approach vectors, shadows, and extended consoles. Breathe it in.
That was Secret Nuclear, Omega Redux, straight from WHI Recordings. If you’re just joining us, this is Expansive Waves 23. No rush. We’re only getting started.
Next, another fresh live capture and another NYP release as that is what this channels budget allows, from the legends who practically invented this space. Recorded last August in Poland. Another long one at 32 and a half minutes.
Tangerine Dream — Katowice Session 2025. Over half an hour of pulsing sequences, violin drifts, and piano echoes. Let it carry you.
Tangerine Dream, live from Katowice. Timeless, isn’t it? We’re about a third through the evening now, but time doesn’t really apply here.
From Pennsylvania, a solitary reflection on endings and endurance.
Matthew Nowik — (we have) 5 years left. A slow-burning meditation on what might remain. Synth layers that feel like watching clouds dissolve. Another NYP release. I feel a pattern forming here.
Matthew Nowik. Quiet truth there in every sustain. Thanks for staying with me.
We move to Greece now. Piano meeting granular skies.
Giannis Gogos — Ambedo (part 2). Twenty-one minutes of attentive stillness from the recent Ambedo release on Whitelabrecs. The quiet attention that art still needs. This is not a NYP release as whitelabrec sponsors the channel with the best ambient releases out there.
Giannis Gogos. Ambedo—sinking into the moment until the edges blur.
Shifting tones now. A sense of deep belonging amid the haze.
Cries from the LTN — Belonging To. Title track from the EP. Extended, enveloping, like finding home in the drift. Shout out to Marcus from Cries from the LTN for sending this in. The EP is an innovative audio-visual collaboration between Birmingham based contemporary artist Tara Harris and experimental musical ensemble Cries From the LTN.
Cries from the LTN. Belonging isn’t always loud.
From Meanjin/Brisbane, Australia—a wavelength tamer reworking melancholy into vast space. Inspired by a single, heartbreaking scene from The Sopranos. This is the track doir from the new album No Statue, freshly re-recorded after life turned sideways. Raw, drenched in melancholy. Monumental. Released just yesterday on 4000 records.
ff8282 — doir.
ff8282 there with the sparkling new release No Statue that was the longest piece doir.
Six tracks gone. Only two remaining. The shortest track of the episode now and only just making the 12 minute cut at 12:12. Cassette territory next. Black Pylon’s world of field recordings and calls.
This is Corvid One Cassette — MOBBING CALLS. From the album Two. Corvids circling, warnings in the air, stretched into drone. This is the second release from the label Black Pylon. Definitely a label to follow and watch out for.
Corvids know something we don’t. Maybe that’s why it lingers.
And now, as we approach the final silence, a few words before we vanish again.
Thanks for sticking around. Really. These episodes aren’t designed for mass consumption, and neither are you.
I’ll be back when the wind changes or the tape runs out—whichever comes first. No schedule, no promises. Waves, that’s all we have.
If you liked what you heard, support the artists. Buy their music. Whisper their names into the void. It helps.
You can stream this episode on Mixcloud at djsofabed/expansive-waves-23, and find all the links and credits on the episode page at trevor.se.
Drop a comment if you feel moved. Or don’t. Silence is underrated.
Until next time—stay resonant, stay expansive, and let the soundtrack of the universe find you.
And finally, as we near the horizon—an unreleased study, fresh from Adventurous Music. Out in a few days, but you hear it here first. Unless you’re listening after February 16th.
Iván Muela — Drone Study X. From the forthcoming Ibidem II. Pure, patient exploration.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 163
4 January 2026
Virtual 90 minute mixtapes for the sonically adventurous. 30 artists, two 45 minute sets. A spoken intro followed by music only show. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
“Hello, Trevor here, and this is episode one‑six‑three of the Virtual Cassette Library. Today’s theme is Vent Making Diverts—which, as usual, is both the track you’re hearing underneath and a location you can find on a map, if you’re the sort who enjoys chasing coordinates on What3Words.
We’ve got ninety minutes ahead—two sides, fifteen tracks each. Some names you’ll know, some you won’t, and that’s half the fun. On the A side there’s an unreleased track by myself which can only be heard here—so if you’re collecting the oddities and outliers, this one’s for you.
On the B side, we’ve got an exclusive from Mist Signals—Someday Soon—taken from the upcoming Whitelabrecs compilation Sleeplaboratory6.0, which drops on the 17th of January to celebrate the label’s tenth anniversary. A decade of quiet experiments, soft-focus soundscapes, and late-night headphone magic.
Now then, starting back on episode 156, there’s a little cipher game running through the series. Each episode, during the intermission, you’ll hear a number. Scribble it down. After ten episodes, you’ll have the full sequence. Put the pieces together, crack the cipher, and you’ll unlock a code that knocks ninety‑five percent off anything on my Bandcamp page. Which means you can scoop up the whole discography for about two quid. It’s not meant to be difficult—just enough to keep you awake at night wondering if you’ll get it right.
The rest of the show drifts through funk, Idm, ambient drift, modular murmurs, rare views, puddles, mythology, and the occasional monkey. The sort of thing you might stumble across late at night on a shortwave dial, wondering if you imagined it.
So—headphones on, let time dissolve, and let the music claim you.”

///action.scam.running.
Welcome, sonic wanderers. You’ve arrived at the coordinates ///action.scam.running—Episode 129 of The Virtual Cassette Library. A title, a signal, a portal.
Also it’s the track you’re hearing in the background. Available for pre-order on Bandcamp, already whispering through YouTube, it sets the tone for what’s to come.
These mixes are 90-minute genre bending drifts through curated frequencies—designed for walking meditations, mental meanderings, and quiet communion with the cosmos. No commentary. No interruptions. Just pure sonic immersion.
Styles take us through electronica, ambient, berlin school, a dash of global funk, and more.
The A side includes releases from some of my favourite labels Kahvi Collective, Adventurous Music, Cyclical Dreams, Batov Records, Mahorka, Home Normal with artist such as The Soviet Space Dog Project, and Buddahat.
The B side includes some more great labels like whitelabrecs, Passed Recordings, and le mont analogue. Also two exclusive tracks. One from Australian artist April Emily a.k.a. ff8282 from her upcoming release a thin membrane between her hand. Dropping October 30th on 4000 Records. The other by Lorna Dune from her upcoming release Sequential Dreaming. Dropping October 28th on the always amazing Mystery Circles label.
Head’s up! There’s just 22 days left until my first compilation for digital release. Which will be dropped on the 6th of November. Check out the socials if you want to get involved. It’s already got a bunch of fine artists lined up including Oceanographer, Dark Fidelity HiFi, The Gaye Device and many more.
