Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 306
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 light, watery ambient journey through easy emergence, melting streams, and roads along the Downs.
Side A opens kepeä — light, easy — then moves through a Russian Standard retrospective, a stream that melts sideways, a Brainforest sanctuary dedicated to Violet, Lola skipping stones, and West Yorkshire crypt-light luminaire. Side B returns 2018 intrigue among workers and superiors, lets petals land softly on water, surges through a third ocean current, begins the Marienbad story again, and travels the Downs in Ravilious colour.
Overall mood: Contemplative, fluid, and quietly elegant — full of Passed Oceans, acoustic closeness, and elliptical cinema. Perfect for dusk listening, train windows, or sitting still while the stones keep hopping the surface.
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.
00:01:39 Aki Yli-Salomäki & Kreeta-Julia Heikkilä – Kepeä
From the album “Viriää” which is Finnish and means emergence, awakening. Opening the episode is Finnish composer and sound artist Aki Yli-Salomäki. Aki Yli-Salomäki and Kreeta-Julia Heikkilä open with “Kepeä” which means light, easy. — Vantaa composition meeting Helsinki violin and viola, acoustic closeness with subtle synthesizer undercurrents. Out on Whitelabrecs.
00:04:41 SERMAK MUSIC – Russian Standard
From the 2026 CZiGO Compilation Taster Album. Mark Donlon’s retrospective, lockdown years to now, eight tracks gathered on his Sermak label.
00:08:43 Obsydian Fox – The Stream Melts Sideways
The first of thee tracks from the amazing new compilation “Passed Oceans”. Passed Recordings is a global collective of artists with a focus on making atmospheric music.
Water in every language. Half of the sales go to Doctors Without Borders.
00:14:24 Polypores – The Sanctuary
From the album “Wildlife”. Stephen James Buckley leaves his modular case in another room and looses himeself in another with tenor recorder, guitars, piano, drums, kalimba and homemade percussion. Dedicated to Violet, artwork by João Emmanuel.
00:17:33 Poloma – Lola the Stoneskipper
The second of three tracks from the Passed Oceans release. Stones hop the surface and keep going.
00:20:38 The Gaye Device – Luminaire
Ending side A and a champion of the channel mr. Andrew Howden, better known as The Gaye Device. I wanted to say this was an exclusive for my upcoming compilation Quiet Figures but research shows Andrew released it back in 2023 on his wonderful album “The Fallen Leaf” together with Ellen Southern. West Yorkshire reflective electronics. Jenny Lyon photography. Site singing and crypt acoustics sit inside the mix.
After that the cassette reaches its midpoint and flips.
00:24:20 Dadanaut – Morphinist
Opening side B. from the album Kabale. Dadanaut with “Morphinist”. Metropolis and Kästner’s School of the Dictators. A struggle for freedom and relief. 2018 intrigue returns.
00:36:26 Castle Waters – Petals Landing Softly On Water
From the album Ethereal Elegance. Castle Waters with “Petals Landing Softly On Water”. Wooded walkways and ancient bridges. ETERNITEA time waits at 1:37pm in the floating gazebo. Digital proceeds travel to local libraries.
00:40:04 Leafblighter – Surge
And here’s that third track from the “Passed Oceans” release. Fluidity in motion.
00:47:42 Simon Heartfield – Since This Story Began
From the album “Last Year At Marienbad”. Simon Heartfield with “Since This Story Began”. Nine elliptical pieces of piano, strings, woodwind, organ and electronics, after Alain Resnais, 1961.
00:50:19 Gilroy Mere – On the Road
From the album “Furlongs”. On the road along the Downs. Oliver Cherer and Riz Maslen. Forty-mile train journeys. Ravilious colours become texture and tempo. Clarinet, flute, trumpet. All clear after treatment. Recorded at The Laundry, St Leonard’s.
00:54:02 Brannan Lane – Folding Space
The final track is the title track from Brannans latest release. Recorded at Peaceful Paradise Studio. Synthesizers and environmental recordings. Faster-than-light soundscapes for relaxation, focus and travel.
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?

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 289

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 warm, slightly hauntological ambient journey through memory pools, lost-and-found melodies, and parallel realities.
Side A gathers shared sonic connections, 1974 household radiophonics, midnight Frankfurt tones, recovered places, Lancashire ease, and ballad-inspired ambient forms. Side B drifts through emotional anchors, nostalgic Japanese colour, Quiet Figures still gathering, serpents in daylight, elemental wooded harmony, and ends walking the fictional lanes of Belbury.
Overall mood: Contemplative, nostalgic, and gently communal — full of recovered light, quiet personal colour, and soft village atmosphere. Perfect for deep listening, late evenings, or sitting with the ordinary as it quietly transforms.
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.

00:20:01 Brapscallion – Shadaloo

01:01:16 Belbury Poly – Music, Movement & Meaning

Trevor’s Virtual Cassette Library 106
///jotting.hero.mystery.
Welcome to Trevor’s Virtual Cassette Library episode 106 Jotting Hero Mystery. Which is not only the soundtrack in the background but a geographical location according to What3words with its own video. Pre order the album on Bandcamp to support the channel, it gets released when it reaches the Mixcloud subscriber count which is currently 16. Of course if you do subscribe there’ll not only be an extra track but you’ll also get all my albums for the monthly subscription price of 3 dollars. These episodes are 90-minute musical journeys. This episode is a spectral drift through modular hauntology, Sardinian piano reveries, and aquatic synth rituals. woven together into two, uninterrupted, 45 minute virtual cassette sides, with a metaphysical flip halfway through. A lovingly warped mixtape for dusk listeners, headphone wanderers, and those who find comfort in the crackle of forgotten formats. The shows are designed for a walk, a mental wander, or a quiet moment alone with the universe.
I won’t be commenting between the tracks. You can join Nanogods’ poetic visualizations on the time line. Don’t be shy.
