Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 212
Hypnotic and dreamlike, often sitting in liminal spaces.
Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to episode 212 of the Virtual Cassette Library. This is a 60 minute virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark.
This episode is based on the track “Tower of Butterflies” by Innis Chonnel & Loris S. Sarid from the album “Looking For Mount Sylvan” which dropped on the 10th of March via The 12th Isle label. Also a massive thank you to Driftworks, Lunar Module which is the CD imprint of Castles in Space, Audiobulb, Amulet of Tears, Trem 77, and Third Kind Records for sponsoring the episode with material.
This mix carries a moody, introspective, and slightly surreal nocturnal atmosphere. It moves through themes of isolation, transformation, thresholds, and fragile beauty. There’s a strong contrast between cold urban desolation and organic, fluttering delicacy — from concrete fields and body worms to towers of butterflies and sunlit solitude. The overall feeling is hypnotic and dreamlike, often sitting in liminal spaces (half-awake, melting forms, interrupted signals), with a subtle undercurrent of unease balanced by moments of quiet wonder and graceful movement.
If you make music, or are a label, 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.
