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 breathing, slightly cosmic ambient journey through mantra rooms, sunset light, and machine-soul plasma. Side A keeps a Brighton pulse, then moves through cadmium starling chambers, seaside sunsets, remixed inner-galaxy weather, a slowed descent, and a last-page fin. Side B opens with Glasgow fairy wonk and oxide walk-film, then finds a 2016 first track, Plantasia homage, Gadigal beach light, and new-age retro plasma leading into the bright. Overall mood: Warm, communal, and quietly expansive — full of shared rooms, analogue vignettes, and light that keeps arriving. Perfect for late mornings, deep listening, or sitting with the last page while the next reel still 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.
