Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 293
www.mixcloud.com/djsofabed/tvcl-293/
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 gentle, dream-facing ambient journey through insectile moonlight, library warmth, and far-shore destinations.
Side A weaves moonflower percussion and analogue arrival into placid Italian night, New Mexico autumn weather, infinite healing time, and a lullaby held behind rain-glass. Side B opens with a whistle toward emotion, then settles into open dusk sky, eleven minutes of analogue hope, close string resonance, a voyage to Beta Virginis, and memory finding water again.
Overall mood: Soft, hopeful, and quietly celestial — full of dusk light, small window-reflections, and patient unfolding. Perfect for twilight listening, falling asleep, or sitting with what still waits on the far shore.
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.
00:01:17 Polypores – Moonflower
Polypores – Moonflower. Tenor recorder, guitars, piano, drums, kalimba and homemade percussion weave insectile textures. Loose slack layers build dense walls of melody dedicated to Violet.
00:05:36 The British Stereo Collective – Arrival
The British Stereo Collective – Arrival. Benny and Björn’s melody becomes analogue library light among other covered transmissions.
00:07:44 Piero Umiliani – Placida Notte
Piero Umiliani – Placida Notte. Fantasy, the lost Telesound chapter, returns on the composer’s centenary. Analogue synthesizers, light orchestration and smooth rhythms share one playful science-and-nature dream.
00:10:49 Heron & Crane – Over Autumn
Heron & Crane – Over Autumn. Clouds hover above New Mexico desert. Celtic harp, new-age synth, lap steel and Moog sequence travel from Charlottesville to Columbus in all-instrumental weather.
00:13:32 ALURIA – Infinite Time
ALURIA – Infinite Time. Healing soundscapes make their FORM@ debut on SLIT ART, opening an original worldview.
00:20:49 Lab’s Cloud – Lullaby for Dreamers
Lab’s Cloud – Lullaby for Dreamers. Rain, snow, wind and twilight move outside the glass. Interior warmth holds ethereal textures and small window-reflections.
The cassette reaches its midpoint and turns.
00:26:48 Henrik Meierkord & Suseti – The whistle
Henrik Meierkord & Suseti – The whistle. Strings and atmospheric new-age tones invite each listener toward their own emotion.
00:29:58 The Green Kingdom – Open Sky
The Green Kingdom – Open Sky. Softly processed piano, reverb-soaked guitar and sampled textures settle into airy dusk. Vespera names the hour.
00:33:35 Circuit3 – The Hope
Circuit3 – The Hope. Peter Fitzpatrick and Vince Clarke build an eleven-minute melodic drone landscape. Analogue machines carry notebook fragments into spacious instrumental light.
00:43:38 Aki Yli-Salomäki & Kreeta-Julia Heikkilä – Viriää
Aki Yli-Salomäki & Kreeta-Julia Heikkilä – Viriää. Violin and viola meet subtle synthesizer undercurrents. Slowly unfolding structures of timbre and resonance keep acoustic closeness.
00:46:06 Thaneco – Destination Beta Virginis
Thaneco – Destination Beta Virginis. Minimoog, Matriarch, Eurorack and mellotron voices soundtrack tau approaching zero. Bluish-green vegetation waits at the far shore of a new bang.
00:55:26 Teatre – Memory
Teatre – Memory. Amulet of Tears gathers the piece as a dry life finding water again.
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?

Alone on the Dance Floor 08
For those that dance to a different tune.
A place to let loose. A short break from the ambience that usually dominated the channel.
Back with another outing of Alone on the Dance Floor.
This series comes out whenever I can make the time to create them. Like all my shows.
I am not affiliated with any station and do not get paid for this work.
I rely entirely on labels and artists sending me material, an unquenchable thirst for sharing great sounds, a handful of Mixcloud subscribers and a few sales from Bandcamp.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 164
7 January 2026
Virtual 90 minute mixtapes for the sonically adventurous. 30 artists, two 45 minute sets. A spoken intro followed by music only show. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
“Hello, Trevor here, and this is episode one‑six‑four of the Virtual Cassette Library. Today’s theme is Retain Happier Obeyed—which, as usual, is both the track you’re hearing underneath and a location you can find on a map, if you’re the sort who enjoys chasing coordinates on What3Words.
We’ve got ninety minutes ahead—two sides, fifteen tracks each. Some names you’ll know, some you won’t, and that’s half the fun.
On the A side there’s an exclusive by Foster Neville titled, Mow Cop, from the album, Through Lands Of Ghosts. Dropping on the 16th of January via Subexotic Records.
On the B side there’s a sort of exclusive by Hendekagon. Who’ve done a magical soundtrack to accompany the book Die Verschiebung der Zeit (The shift in time) by Corina Retzlaff out on Adventurous Music.
Also the track, Magical Interval, by John Haughey & Tarotplane is from their up coming Woodford Halse release called, WF 98 – Errata.
Now then, starting back on episode 156, there’s a little cipher game running through the series. Each episode, during the intermission, you’ll hear a number. Scribble it down. After ten episodes, you’ll have the full sequence. Put the pieces together, crack the cipher, and you’ll unlock a code that knocks ninety‑five percent off anything on my Bandcamp page. Which means you can scoop up the whole discography for about two quid. It’s not meant to be difficult—just enough to keep you awake at night wondering if you’ll get it right.
The sort of thing you might stumble across late at night on a shortwave dial, wondering if you imagined it.
So—headphones on, let time dissolve, and let the music claim you.”

Tonight, we embark on a 90-minute journey through sound—crafted for walking meditations, mental meanderings, and quiet communion with the cosmos. No commentary between tracks. No interruptions. Just pure sonic immersion.

From Isien’s spooky entanglement to Teeth Of The Sea’s Artemis, the journey crescendos into Exit Chamber’s In the Darkness, Hope, and Christian Wittman’s Threshold of Silence.
