EXPANSIVE WAVES 27
Good evening… or morning… or whatever smeared fragment of clock time you’ve drifted into today. This is EXPANSIVE WAVES 27. I’m Trevor — your host, your unreliable cartographer of the long haul, your occasional sonic conspirator.
This one’s not built for the impatient. Eight pieces. Each one stretching beyond twelve minutes. Together they uncoil for over whatever time that takes. If you came looking for hooks, drops, or anything that resembles forward motion, best to paddle elsewhere. Or just dim the lights, let the room breathe, and allow the ceiling to become a slow-moving planetarium. That works too.
We begin somewhere near the edge of pull with friend of the channel Greek super drone artist Substak and his track Gravity Lapse
Imagine You’re suspended ten feet above your childhood bedroom floor. Everything that once had weight is gently forgetting its job. Books hover. A glass of water tilts but never spills. Your pulse slows until it matches the rhythm of dust motes doing lazy cartwheels in a moonbeam.
The room exhales. Gravity gives up mid-sentence. Substak lets the low end sag like warm taffy while metallic shimmers orbit your head. Stay here. Let your bones remember they’re mostly water.
…and when the floor finally decides to forgive you…
Cells Interlinked with Drift (Summer memories about spring) from the album Cold Spring Notes released on the ever present Cyclical Dreams.
Bare feet on wet grass that hasn’t decided if it’s still spring or already drowning in summer. A bicycle with playing cards in the spokes lies on its side. Someone is laughing three houses away but you can’t tell if it’s 1997 or yesterday. Cherry blossoms fall upward into a sky the colour of melted peach ice cream.
You thought you were driving home but the road turned into a river of pollen and half-remembered songs. Cells Interlinked keeps time with your nostalgia instead of a metronome. Close your eyes. The light behind them is the exact shade of June.
Next… we step through something older than language.
The Taps Of The Holy Trinity with The Passage
(Exclusive track from the upcoming album “Customs & Rituals of…” releasing on the Fenny Compton label on the 20th of June 2026)
Think Candlelight on stone walls older than your grandparents’ grandparents. Bare feet on cold stone. A single drop of water falls every few seconds. Each drip rearranges the molecules of your thoughts. Shadows have their own shadows here.
Listen. These aren’t notes. These are permissions. The Taps Of The Holy Trinity open a door that was never meant to stay closed. Walk through slowly. Something in the dark knows the real you.
From ritual… to sealed silence.
No episode of mine, it seems, is complete without a couple of artists from the Bulgarian label Mahorka. Whom which I’ve done a four part guest show on their wonder Planck Tone series. Ivo Petrov seems to have a knack of bringing fantastic artists together the first of this episode being Toni Dimitrov + Blanket Swimming with the title track from their release Hermetic
So you’re inside a sealed glass sphere floating in deep space. No panic, just warm recognition. Your breath fogs the inside of the glass and spells out forgotten Sigils. A single bulb burns perfectly still in zero gravity. Outside, stars move like slow schools of silver fish.
Hermetic. Sealed. Complete. Two minds braided so tightly the sound has no edges anymore. Just one continuous skin of tone. You are the vessel. You are also what’s inside the vessel.
And then the paths appear… whether you asked for them or not.
Andreas Rönnquist + rsn the second piece from the Mahorka label with the track invisible paths from their album within remoteness
Midnight in an endless bamboo forest. Moonlight cuts through the stalks in perfect geometric slices. Every few steps the ground becomes a mirror. You see versions of yourself walking parallel paths you never chose.
These paths are the anywhere. Andreas and rsn hand you a lantern made of negative space. Follow it. Or don’t. The forest doesn’t mind either way.
Somewhere in the middle of nowhere, someone is still adjusting the dials…
R&D and the track Adjust the Mixture from the album, Periscope Depth, performed at The Adventurers Guild.
Think an abandoned chemical laboratory at 3:33 a.m. Beakers bubble with liquid starlight. A scientist in a lab coat keeps turning knobs that control the weather inside your ribcage. The air tastes of copper and déjà vu.
R&D mixing states of being. One part memory, two parts future, a dash of never-was. Breathe it in. Your blood is learning new colours.
And just when you think the canvas is finished…
Friend of the channel Alex Ringess with Tableau #4 from his fantastic release Analog Abstractions.
Now, you’re standing inside a fresh painting. The oils are still alive. Mountains breathe. A river of mercury reflects a sky that contains every sunset you’ve ever ignored. The frame is optional.
Alex Ringess paints the silence between sounds. Step inside Tableau #4. The perspective is wrong in the best possible way.
Final orbit…
From Sydney, Australia, Bill Astro Music and the track Fragile Orbit from the album Trinary Solitude.
A small, imperfect satellite made childhood wishes tumbling end over end around a lonely planet. One more revolution and it might kiss the atmosphere and burn beautifully. For now, it sings.
We’re all in fragile orbit. Bill Astro reminds us how lovely that is. How temporary. How perfect.
Until the next fragment of drifting time pulls us back into the same warm current… this is Trevor, signing off from EXPANSIVE WAVES 27.
Cheerio…

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 155
13 December 2025
“Greetings all. Episode one-five-five of the Virtual Cassette Library. Subtitled Ducks File Likewise. That’s the track you hear underneath, and it’s also a location you can find on a map. I filmed it—it’s up on YouTube if you’re curious.
I’m your host Trevor, presenting you with ninety minutes, two virtual sides, fifteen tracks each. You’ll hear Suncastle, Gelbart, Aythar, Prairiewolf, and deepspace. Loula Yorke, Barker, and Michael Brückner drift into kosmische and ambient zones, while Strangebird~Sounds, Orfin, and Multiplex carry us into the B side. Later, Rodrigo Passannanti, Ben Holton, and Shugorei appear alongside Stone Anthem and Exit Chamber. All woven into the resonance of the library.
This episode also marks one year since the passing of Arni Gretar also known as Futuregrapher. His track Bryndís is included here as a tribute, a reminder of his spirit and the Icelandic currents he brought into electronic music.
Labels orbiting here include Imaginary North, Projekt, Mahorka, Third Kind Records, and Cyclical Dreams. Styles range from ambient and drone to kosmische, experimental electronics, and hauntological textures. These transmissions stretch across places—Berlin, Toronto, Reykjavik, Brighton, and Buenos Aires.

30 October 2025
///isolated.elastic.ripples.
Welcome, sonic wanderers. You’ve arrived at Episode 136 of The Virtual Cassette Library.

Styles for this episode range from microtonal to techno, from electronica to psychedelic soul. The musical keys in focus are D major and B minor.
This episode contains three tracks you’ve probably never heard before. from the soundtrack to the 22 collected essays Die Verschiebung der Zeit by Corina Retzlaff. I play the track Der Zeitgeist by Hendekagon available through Adventurous Music. this is followed by no stranger to the channel Greek artist Kostas Giazlas, better known as, Onepointwo, with the track, Shadow Dance from his album Melodies dropping on the 28th of November via Subexotic Records. The third exclusive track is by Dan Bean and is called Keine Bin from his upcoming album Bassduets dropping on the London based label which Dan himself curates Old Technology. Other labels and artists worth mentioning are Misha Panfilov who I saw last night here in Stockholm. Cheers Misha and crew for a wonderful gig, also Cyclical Dreams, Fragile X, Projekt Records, mRn, Mahorka Records, Bit Cloudy, Paul Beaudoin, Everyday Dust, DRONARIVM, Bathysphere Records, and, Mirai No Hagaki.

Trevor’s Virtual Cassette Library 094
Collision Spell.
Trevor here, transmitting from home base Sollentuna, Sweden. This is your gateway to another immersive expedition through sound—Trevor’s Virtual Cassette Library 094 A 90-minute journey with a metaphysical flip at the halfway mark—perfect for a long walk, a mental wander, or a quiet moment alone with the universe. Today’s flight is sponsored by the labels that keep our circuits humming: whitelabrecs, Mahorka, Ingrown Records, Adventurous Music, and, oscarson.
Artists on the show who have sent me material: Trem 77, and, The British Stereo Collective.
Special thanks to Free Album Codes—always fueling the episodes with Bandcamp gems. 🙏
Also shout outs to, aeon music, Max Williams, and Fonodroom, for the follows, likes and comments.
Today’s episode includes two exclusive tracks from upcoming releases. On the A side the track The Fifth Compass Point Dub from the single The Fifth Compass Point by Bristol outfit Trem 77. Inspired by the concept of the fifth compass point. An idea beyond directional coordinates. Through the center point of the compass rose runs an axis that can be imagined as an array of transecting lines running through that point. More than a center point, it is an intersection that could include time running forward and backward in all directions away from the two dimensional compass plane. In this sense, it might be the truest symbol of the here and now. Is it the heart center, a jumping off point for experiencing all that there is, or both simultaneously?
The B side features an upcoming release from the Italian composer and multi instrumentalist Bruno Bavota. Here with the track, when we collide, from the album, I’m losing you, which will be released on German label oscarson on September 19. The
record showcases Bruno’s signature combination of acoustic piano and subtle electronics, now
enriched with expressive string arrangements performed by violinist Laura Masotto.
The album is a meditation on loss in its many forms — from absence and nostalgia to quiet
acceptance. Through looping piano motifs, gently pulsing electronics, and emotionally resonant
strings, I’m Losing You invites listeners into a vulnerable, immersive world of sound and feeling.
With this release, Bavota further refines his neoclassical voice, offering a moving and cinematic
work that speaks to both personal emotion and universal experience.
I won’t be commenting between the tracks. You can do that on the time line. Don’t be shy.
