Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.
Trevor here. You’ve pressed play on another 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.
Today, Wednesday the 9th of September 2026 I’m in Dublin Ireland for my parents 65th wedding anniversary celebrations.
A twilight, slightly modular ambient journey through forgotten breath, moon gardens, and new constellations.
Side A opens in Zürich intimate forgetting and Berlin blue hour, then dips through Kansas-Welsh dream remix, coastal winter voices, Portland octophobic pulse, and Ostrava time-observation. Side B lifts into Amsterdam glowing trails, Bristol granular blue, a Home Normal moon garden, Melbourne tribute to Carme, a February ambient waltz, and a Preston snowflake preview.
Overall mood: Melancholic, textural, and quietly luminous — full of exclusive transmissions, tape-like processing, and small rooms opening onto larger weather. Perfect for blue hour, deep listening, or sitting still while the winter mix keeps breathing for you.
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.

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 warm, earthy ambient journey through shared currents, evening rituals, and what remains after the light fades.
Side A gathers jungle meetings and sacred tea, then moves through sunset marrow, mountain mist, solitary machine colour, and warm rainfall microliths. Side B opens liminal gazes and Holkham shorelines, then settles into piano placeholders, remaining polaroids, morning inlight, and a summer curve of insect hum.
Overall mood: Contemplative, healing, and quietly luminous — full of tape hiss, shoreline near-silence, and small rites of duration. Perfect for dusk listening, deep rest, or sitting with what stays.
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.
00:01:18 Biodiverse, Anee Molly & Canblaster – Unite
Biodiverse, Anee Molly & Canblaster – Unite. Jungle scan and echolocation gather as travellers of the past step into shared current. Illustration and tape hiss hold the meeting.
00:07:02 Time Rival – Sacred Tea
Time Rival – Sacred Tea. Tongue drums, kalimba, flute and sun-bleached saturation pour from a planner marked new music. The brew arrives cooked, oversaturated, warm.
00:14:09 Bålsam – Every Sunset
Bålsam – Every Sunset. Cicadas and river-rush enter the marrow. A mother’s voice message and a daughter’s unburdened tone sit among orchids and damp earth. Healing moves as pulse.
00:17:40 Maps and Diagrams – Mist on the Mountain
Maps and Diagrams – Mist on the Mountain. Loops and found sources cycle and fade. Subtle variation and decay keep happening in quiet instability.
00:21:40 Toàn – DEL 0
Toàn – DEL 0. A single Deluge machine, tape loops, harp and bowed tones layer into synesthetic colour. Solitude hangs as an invisible wall of texture.
00:26:01 zakè, Ossa, ASC – Microlith 8
zakè, Ossa, ASC – Microlith 8. Shimmering keys pour like warm rainfall. Analog lines, chest-deep bass and tape-saturated mist carry 90s ambient memory toward an ambiguous horizon.
The cassette reaches its midpoint and turns.
00:27:48 Philippe Blache – Let This Gaze Be Our Part
Philippe Blache – Let This Gaze Be Our Part. Liminal corridors and flowing memory open in meandering textures. Imaginary territories rise through melancholia and repetition.
00:33:47 (EXCLUSIVE) Richard Sage – Holkham
Richard Sage – Holkham. Tripod, Zoom and iPhone gather wave-analogues and shoreline seeds. Near silence wears its own palette.
00:41:25 Audio Obscura – Placeholder for Meaning
Audio Obscura – Placeholder for Meaning. Piano improvisation from Whitby finds its way after months of stillness. Pyramid shapes and late-year fruit settle into place.
00:48:55 Laurel Morgan & Yorkshire Modular Society – Remaining
Laurel Morgan & Yorkshire Modular Society – Remaining. Polaroids and modular breath keep what stays. Scrapbook pages hold the UK location in quiet duration.
00:53:21 David Cordero & Aiko Takahashi – Inlight
David Cordero & Aiko Takahashi – Inlight. Piano notes float as points of light. Modular tones gather in soft waves around the threshold of morning.
00:56:45 CIRC – Summer Curve
CIRC – Summer Curve. Insect hum and rustle become looped ethereal texture. Everyday night turns into a small sonic rite.
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.

Trevor’s Virtual Cassette Library 102
Neptune Sky.
Welcome to Trevor’s Virtual Cassette Library episode 102 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 partially sponsored by these generous labels: Astra Solaria Recordings, Castles In Space, ARCHIVES, Error Prone Records, Moniker Eggplant, Sonor Music Editions, Bricolage, rohs! records, Mystery Circles,
As well as these artists who have sent me material: Augen, The Green Kingdom, Phil Dodds from Allmanna Town.
Much love to my Co-Host the poet, the Psychonaut, Nanogod, for his visualisations of what’s going on during the episodes.
Special thanks to Free Album Codes—always fueling the episodes with Bandcamp gems. 🙏
Also shout outs to, aeon_music, and Ottervision, for the follows, likes and comments.
At least two of the tracks contain the Bucla Music Easel.
The A side contains “On The Waves Of Neptune” an exclusive from the album “Where Trees Go To Die” the latest offering from Stone Anthem, a hallucinatory journey through ambient textures, dense organic drones, and otherworldly frequencies. Layering field recordings, modular synthesis, and hushed vocals, the album was created in an attempt to maximise immersion and create a sonic field of bliss, a slow-evolving soundscape where perception bends and time dissolves. The album’s initial blueprint was created in a quiet hamlet in the Spanish mountains in 2023 with very little equipment. So the scenery of forests and mountains were a great influence on the album’s development. This is also from where all of the field recordings on the album were sourced.
Castles in Space is delighted to be working with this charismatic, vibrant and super-talented young artist. He’s just turned 18.
The B side contains an exclusive by colab who I know nothing about and I don’t believe are the Georgian Hard techno outfit. The track here, Troubled appears on the Bricolage labels 27 track compilation album X celebrating their 10th year of magical releases. It’s a ‘who’s who’ of the label past, present and future. Do check it out. Links to everything played are in the show notes and in the comments.
Otherwise Check out HDRFs musical journey on Invisible Waves – The Stories.
I won’t be commenting between the tracks. You can join nanogods poetic visualisations on the time line. Don’t be shy.
