EXPANSIVE WAVES 24

EXPANSIVE WAVES — EPISODE 24
Good evening, or morning, or whatever fragment of time you’ve found yourself in. This is Expansive Waves, episode twenty-four. I’m Trevor—your host, your guide, your occasional sonic conspirator.
This 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…
Work Money Death and “Pain Becomes Prayer And Prayer Becomes A Song,” from the album A Portal To Here, released by ATA Records on the 13th of Feb. 2026.
Picture yourself in a dimly lit room at dusk, harp strings catching the last amber light, a low horn murmuring like wind through an ancient chapel, tamborine arriving soft and deliberate as distant rain on stone — grief transforming, layer by layer, into something luminous and unnameable.
A profound meditation where sorrow unfolds into reverence, the ensemble channeling spiritual jazz lineages with tender, unhurried grace.
That was Work Money Death — “Pain Becomes Prayer And Prayer Becomes A Song.”
Next, we drift into Dubberrookie with “Real Axing,” drawn from the album Pieces for Piano A NYP self release from the 22nd of Feb. 2026
Imagine bare wooden floors under moonlight, a single piano in the center of an empty warehouse, keys struck with such restraint that each note lingers like fog rolling across water, electronic undertows pulling gently at the edges of perception.
A delicate, wobbly exploration that turns piano resonance into something quietly electronic and deeply introspective.
That was Dubberrookie — “Real Axing.”
Now, Fabio Keiner & Jack Hertz present “Mindless,” the title track from their album Mindless on Aural Films. A NYP release let loose on the 14th of Feb. 2026
Vast open sky at twilight, no horizon line, only infinite gradients of indigo and violet; beneath it, subtle field recordings of wind across empty plains merge with slow, formless tones that seem to erase the boundary between listener and sound.
A generous, healing expanse of drone crafted in tribute to World Sound Healing Day — pure, extended immersion without anchor or agenda.
That was Fabio Keiner & Jack Hertz — “Mindless.”
We continue with Gustavo Denouard and “Chimes in the Mist,” from the album Echoes of the Cosmos on Projekt Records. Dropped January 30th 2026.
Crystalline structures floating in deep space, faint luminous fog parting to reveal shimmering synth chimes that ripple outward like light through water, everything weightless, radiant, eternal.
Enchanting, luminous ambient electronics that evoke distant nebulae and quiet cosmic wonder.
That was Gustavo Denouard — “Chimes in the Mist.”
Shifting now to Yakuza Jacuzzi with “Wabi-Sabi,” from the album Wabi-Sabi on Cyclical Dreams which dropped on the 27th of February 2026.
An ancient garden after rain — cracked stone lantern, imperfect moss-covered branches, bass tones humming low like earth settling, harmonic shimmers appearing and dissolving like fleeting cherry blossoms in wind.
An immersive embrace of imperfection and transience, where cosmic drones and subtle instrumentation find beauty in the incomplete.
That was Yakuza Jacuzzi — “Wabi-Sabi.”
Next comes Mark Ellery Griffiths and “Colledig,” from the album Annwfn 2025, NYP self-released on March 1st 2026.
Shadowed Welsh valleys at twilight, mist clinging to ancient stones, deep drones rising from the earth like voices from the underworld, slow layers evoking loss and mythic depth.
Dark, resonant ambient that draws listeners into the mythic underworld with brooding, mythological weight.
That was Mark Ellery Griffiths — “Colledig.”
We move toward the close with Lingua Lustra and “Collosphaera,” from the album Sphaera 2005-2025, self-released on 24th of January 2026.
Spherical forms drifting through twenty years of sonic memory — glowing orbs of reworked and lost experiments, vast spherical atmospheres expanding and contracting like living celestial bodies.
This release is a sweeping retrospective journey through two decades of refined, expansive soundworlds — timeless and enveloping.
That was Lingua Lustra — “Collosphaera.”
And to carry us out… Rupert Lally with “Nord D” — Self released work titles Norden which dropped on the 6th of March 2026.
Stark Nordic landscape under pale winter light, modular synth lines tracing generative paths across frozen lakes, minimal pulses echoing like footsteps in snow, vast and unadorned.
Crisp, generative minimalism born from single-take modular explorations — quiet, precise, and profoundly spacious.
That was Rupert Lally — “Nord D.”
And so the waves recede for another evening. Eight long forms, eight patient unfoldings. If any of these pieces resonated in the quiet corners, you’ll find links to the artists and albums on the episode page at trevor.se and in the Mixcloud comments.
Trevlad on Bandcamp remains my small sonic home — trevlad.bandcamp.com.
Feel free to leave a thought on the Mixcloud timeline. Until the next fragment of time pulls us back together… this is Trevor, signing off from Expansive Waves, episode twenty-four. Cheerio…

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 182
04 March 2026
Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
Greetings ye combers of the sound waves and welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library, episode 182. I’m Trevor and I’ll be gently guiding you through twenty artists and their musical endeavours tonight. If you’re new here, welcome; otherwise, welcome back.
A quick shout out to the latest followers: Tiago Catarino who may or may not be into Lego, Rohima Afruza who is a Brighton-based DJ, and foremanmonique from New Mexico, United States. Thanks guys—you keep the signal strong.
This episode has set a new record for the channel: Six exclusive tracks at the time of recording. My handful of subscribers are some of the few souls on the planet who have heard these yet. How? I’ve started dropping music-only preview mixes of the shows before the chat version hits the air—that’s the secret handshake.
The exclusives come from Swimming Lesson, TOMC, The Metamorph, Martin Archer & Claire McAllister, Isograph (who is actually the same artist behind Swimming Lesson), and Oberlin. Who else joins the lineup? You’ll just have to settle in and listen.
Let’s ease into the flow.
We start the episode with the first exclusive which was actually released back in October on the Castles In Space Subscription Library so a few of you will know this one by Darryl Wakelin here as one of his alter egos *Swimming Lesson. This is A Penchant for Experiments from the album Home Electronics
Picture a dimly lit garage in a 1970s suburb, fairy lights strung across shelves of salvaged radios and half-built circuit boards, the faint glow of a soldering iron as tiny sparks dance like fireflies in the dusk.
And now the best thing that’s ever happened to this channel Mr. Gareth Evans aka HDRF. His support and above all his direct action on my request for sending in his story for the new show Chord Confessions. In fact the previous artist Swimming Lesson and other artists I’ve played are a direct result of Gareths passion and action in the community.
HDRF – Everybody Melts (for Miquette)
from the album Ephemerama 1 (self-released via HDRF’s Bandcamp)
A slow dissolve of coloured wax under heat, pooling into soft iridescent shapes on a windowsill as afternoon light filters through rain-streaked glass, everything quietly surrendering to warmth.
Solar 76 – Arctan
from the album Sun Angle on Castle In Spaces’ Lunar Module imprint.
Late golden hour on a coastal cliff path, the sun hanging low and casting long geometric shadows across concrete sea defences, waves below folding in perfect mathematical curves. A very different, yet familiar release from the label. Get your House moves on.
Now most of the music I play on the show is either NYP releases, or sent in by the artists or by the labels. This next track is the latter.
*TOMC – You Are Balearic
from the album Blue Era Odyssey. Releasing via channel champion Mystery Circles on the 3 of March.
Open-top car cruising a winding island road at twilight, salt air rushing past, palm fronds silhouetted against a sky bleeding from azure to deep indigo, distant lights beginning to wink on.
Now another track from the outstanding and highly original label Cities and Memory.
Neil Foster – Yeyi (Central African Republic)
from the album A Century of Sounds. This track is from the NYP version on Bandcamp and one of the 100 pieces chosen for this 13 track release.
Dense rainforest canopy parting just enough for shafts of sunlight to hit moss-covered earth, the air thick with calls of unseen birds and the low rhythmic pulse of life moving unseen.
Gustavo Denouard – Whispers
from the album Echoes of the Cosmos on Projekt Records
Vast empty observatory dome at night, telescope lens reflecting a scattering of stars, faint cosmic radio static crackling like whispers from galaxies long ago.
Now another great friend of the show, Gavin Brick aka The Metamorph. This is the third exclusive for the episode. Gavin has received the physical CDs for his upcoming release From Cobalt to Aquamarine. I’ve always loved Gavin music and this sees a bit of a change in direction. It’s more introspective and is quickly becoming a favourite on repeat around the house. I believe this will be the first release from his new studio in Liverpool. Keep your eye on his Bandcamp page for the official release date.
*The Metamorph – Cobalt
Deep underwater cave lit only by bioluminescent streaks of electric blue, slow currents carrying flecks of mineral that catch the light like floating sapphires.
Next the fourth exclusive of the show.
*Martin Archer & Claire McAllister – Underground
from the album Mast Year dropping on the Discus Music label on the 27th of March. There are loads of names to look forward to on this collage style release.
Dimly lit subway tunnel after hours, Claires floating improvised vocals and gentle jazz phrasings will take you underground.
Now let’s get industrial with some sub bass foundation. The penultimate track of this first half.
Wahn – A Place Slightly Wrong
from the album Echo Mist Light on the Mahorka label.
Fog rolling across an abandoned industrial yard at dawn, rusted machinery half-submerged in mist, everything familiar yet shifted just a degree out of alignment.
We end the A side with Corvid One Cassette – REST
from the album Two on a label to keep you radar tuned to, Black Pylon. A Cassette label curated by Lee Pylon and Nicholas Langley.
A single raven perched on a cracked cassette tape case in an empty room, feathers ruffled by a draught from an open window, the world outside hushed.
B Side –
We open this half with the living legend, Hainbach – BTM Blau
from the album Tagwerk on Spanish label, Industrial Complexx.
Analogue workbench at midnight, the Crumar DS-2, an early Italian synthesiser, pulsing gently as if the machine itself is dreaming.
Now Bruce Magill aka Low Altitude – Dan Y Wernen
from the whitelabrecs compilation masterpiece Shades
Welsh hillside at dusk, ancient stone wall curving into mist, wind carrying faint echoes of folk memory across heather and gorse.
Next I get to play one of my own pieces as no-one else will. In the intro, outro and scattered through each episode I create background soundscapes. When I’ve created 16 episodes I release them as an album. The three word titles of each piece are also geotags for spots on the planet that I have some sort of personal connection with. For example the title of this episode and the background you’re listening to now is situated.bike.guides which is the geographical location of the entrance to Omnipollos Church in Sundbyberg Stockholm. A Brewery and bar, creating some of the best craft beer on the planet. The title of this track is from the patch of grass outside my apartment. Enter any of the track titles from my albums and you can virtually stalk me. Anyway this is me, Trevlad – Hits Enjoyable Amended
from the album TVCL-09
Old mixing desk in a cosy attic studio, faders worn smooth from years of use, fairy lights twinkling above stacks of cassettes like a private constellation.
Now a release right up my alley. I love this sound, it reminds me of the 70s Canterbury sound of Dave Stewart. Passepartout Duo – From Tbilisi
from the album Pieces from Places
Narrow cobblestone street in old Tbilisi at golden hour, balcony flowers spilling over iron railings, distant church bells mingling with street musicians.
Now the fifth exclusive track from *Isograph – The Telling of the Bees
[same artist as Swimming Lesson, keeping traditions alive in sound]
Traditional beehive in a quiet garden at sunrise, bees humming in low golden light, keeper in veil gently lifting a frame, the hive whispering ancient secrets. This is from the first Isograph release which will see light of day later in the year. Here’s what Darryl told me about the track. “The telling of the bees is an old tradition from when lots of rural families kept a beehive for honey, propolis, etc. They would tell the bees about family news (births, deaths, etc.), which I think is just a beautiful thing to do, making the bees part of the family. The track is about all sides of that – the family news, and then at the scale of the bees hearing the news, and the whole thing is an attempt to reflect the lovely connection/regard for nature in this idea.” Cheer for that.
Now another artist I could probably contact for a coffee if I ever was in Edinburgh. Exit Chamber – We Can Get There Simply By Surviving (Previously Unreleased)
from the album The Passed Year 2025 on a global collective of artists known as Passed Recordings. The Bandcamp page says they’re based in Uppsala Sweden but I haven’t figured out what the connection is. Anyway,
Cracked pavement after rain, small green shoot pushing through concrete, resilient and quiet, the city noise fading into a hopeful hush.
Next described as being constructed to elicit feelings of calm, to unearth hazy memories of early innocence, and to lure the chaotic mind into the woods of sleep.
Glass Hive – Mother Of Many
from the album Glass Hive EP
Hive mind of glass shards catching light in a sunlit room, reflections multiplying endlessly, fragile yet infinite.
Now the sixth exclusive which will see light of day on 6 March.
*Oberlin – Never Take It For Granted
from the album The Gold Pit Sessions Vol. 2 out on German label oscarson.
Open window on a spring morning, curtains billowing softly, sounds drifting in with the scent of fresh earth, everything ordinary and miraculous.
Next an all time favourite artist of mine. The penultimate track of the show. Sébastien Tellier – Un Dimanche en Famille
from the album Kiss the Beast
Lazy Sunday table in a sun-dappled kitchen, half-eaten croissants, laughter echoing off tiled walls, time stretching elastic and warm. Available through Because Music & Horizons.
And that’s episode 182 wrapped in a bow of tape and wonder. Thanks for riding along on this sonic journey with its metaphysical flip at the halfway mark—perfect for a long walk, a mental wander, or a quiet moment alone with the universe.

To send us home hailing from, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Lorna Dune – Alverno
from the EP Mosfet
Mountain trail winding upward through pine and mist, sudden clearing revealing a vast alpine valley below, the air crisp with possibility. A self released Minimal House gem.
Until the next drop appears without warning… keep searching the dial. Cheerio…
