Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 205
Open-hearted, wistful, and emotionally rich with a strong cinematic feel.
Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to episode 205 of the Virtual Cassette Library – music from all over the world, sparked by a single track that sets the tone for the set. This is a 60 minute virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark. If and when I get a couple more subscribers then I’ll go back to doing 90 minute versions, complete with commentary.
This episode is based on the track “mabel” by Linear North from the album “We Thought It Was Normal”. Shout out to Linear North for sending me the album. Also shoutouts to Mystery Circles, Mahorka, Cyclical Dreams, Imaginary North and Rupert Lally for sponsoring the channel with material.
Also thanks to CommsBreakdown for being the latest artists to appear on the upcoming compilation The Mystery of the Night. There’s still time to get yours in. June 24th is the deadline.
This is a flowing mix of expansive ambient, emotional introspection, and gentle cinematic storytelling.
Side A opens with wide-open airy landscapes and healing warmth before moving through melancholic waltzes, intricate rhythms, and reflective urban tones. Side B brings playful quirkiness, hazy nostalgia, romantic filmic moments, and closes with darker, ritualistic depth.
Overall mood: Open-hearted, wistful, and emotionally rich with a strong cinematic feel. It shifts from bright, spacious hopefulness into warmer nostalgia and subtle darkness — ideal for thoughtful listening, road trips, or evening reflection. Intimate yet expansive with lovely emotional range.
If you make music, or are a label, and would like to be featured, send your file links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I’d love to hear what you’re working on.

Good evening… or morning… or whatever smeared fragment of clock time you’ve drifted into tonight. This is EXPANSIVE WAVES 26. 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 three hours. 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.
Big thanks to Ivo Petrov at the Mahorka label for nudging me into a Plank Tone. I got gloriously lost and ended up delivering four. The first surfaced on April 8th. Tonight you’ll hear more of those strange, unhurried faces — independent corners, leftfield wanderers, music that refuses to be hurried.
We open with a twenty-four-minute soup. For anyone who’s ever been in a band, this is that glorious end-of-session moment when everyone’s a little fried and the music starts melting at the edges.
Merlin’s Spell — Merlin’s Spell [Full Demo]
A warm, hazy collective trance where sounds blur into one another like ink dropped in still water. Recorded back in 1978, gently refurbished for 2026. Out on The Dream Journal Institute — every penny heading to local libraries and quiet good causes.
That was Merlin’s Spell with Merlin’s Spell. Settle in now. Let the kettle do its slow work. Let the cat claim your chest like a small, purring dictator. Let the outside world keep spinning without you for a while.
Next, a dear friend of the show: Drew Huddart, recording as Scholars of the Peak. Fresh from a live set at Dubrek in Derby — the whole concert, audience whoops and all, because Drew decided not to chop it into polite pieces. Glorious nostalgic synths that feel like warm Sunday light through old lace curtains in the Peak District.
Scholars of the Peak — Live @ Dubrek Studios, Friday 10th April 2026
Bleeps and warm analogue sighs drifting through a room full of gentle human noise — the kind of set that makes you nostalgic for the future.
Now we arrive at the longest single piece I’ve ever slipped into this programme — a full hour, trimmed by a few cheeky seconds just so the software would swallow it. This is serious business.
OdNu + Ümlaut — Metamorphoses
An ever-shifting ambient landscape that never settles, never repeats, never lets you look away. Not lazy drift — this is meticulous, constantly breathing evolution. Out on Audiobulb, arriving June 6th. Prepare to be quietly astonished.
An old favourite now — the Russian master x.y.r. who can drop you straight into deep jungle with nothing more than a few well-placed field recordings and patient tones.
x.y.r. — altered zone (longform edition)
Birdsong threading through endless green layers, turning any room into a porch overlooking humid canopy at dusk. Tip for fellow travellers: when in doubt, add birds. They open windows that weren’t there before.
Back into the Mahorka family, 2019 vintage.
Thomas Park — Failsafe
Blade Runner rain on a corrugated tin roof, random synth trumpet stabs cutting through toxic haze. Neon signs flickering in puddles that never quite dry.
Still in the Mahorka stable, this time 2014.
Ab uno — Remorae (b side)
Deep drone waters where subtle synth lines move like slow silver fish just beneath the surface — barely visible, yet impossible to ignore once you notice them.
Penultimate unfolding, from The Jewel Garden label’s compilation.
Floating House Ensemble — Seven
Sax and strings delicately sprinkled over choral swells, like light catching on the edge of a slow-moving tide. As the Bandcamp page quietly reminds us: “I stood there, the whole day wrapped around me. I stood there, crying, smelling vine.”
And so the waves begin their gentle retreat for another evening. Eight long forms. Eight patient unfoldings. If any of them settled into the quieter corners of your night, you’ll find the links and love on the episode page at trevor.se and in the Mixcloud comments.
Feel free to leave something on the timeline — a half-thought, a soft sigh, or even a single emoji that somehow contains the entire universe.
We close episode twenty-six with Michael Plaster, recording as yttriphie.
yttriphie — Paddock of Skies
Twinkling space music from the album Solipsis on Projekt Records — delicate starlight that slowly swells until the whole sky feels like it’s breathing with you.
Until the next fragment of drifting time pulls us back into the same warm current… this is Trevor, signing off from EXPANSIVE WAVES 26.
Cheerio…

Ode to the fem 2
00:00:00 Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith – Thoughts On The Future
https://kaitlynaureliasmith.bandcamp.com/track/thoughts-on-the-future
(from the album *Thoughts On The Future*) Nettwerk label.
A vast, twilight desert stretches under a sky streaked with electric violet auroras. Floating modular synth orbs pulse softly like distant lanterns, while faint geometric patterns ripple across sand dunes that shift in slow, liquid waves.
00:07:01 Gollden – destiny #10
https://imaginarynorth.bandcamp.com/track/destiny-10
(from the album *Destiny*) Imaginary North label.
A neon-lit corridor in an abandoned cyber-city at midnight. Holographic cherry blossoms drift through cracked concrete, their petals glitching into fractal code as distant data streams cascade down mirrored walls in electric blue.
00:09:00 frostlake – Sundowner
https://discusmusic.bandcamp.com/track/sundowner
(from the album *Shattered Stone*) Discus Music label.
Golden-orange sunlight spills across a calm coastal harbor at dusk. Wooden boats rock gently on mirrored water streaked with neon reflections, while seabirds circle above crumbling stone quays where long shadows stretch like forgotten promises.
00:12:34 Christina Chatfield – Sutro
(from the album *Sutro*) Mysteries of the Deep label.
Fog rolls thick over ruined Victorian bathhouse ruins perched on jagged cliffs above the Pacific. Pale moonlight filters through rusted iron frameworks, illuminating scattered pearl-like droplets suspended in the mist and tangled reeds swaying in an unseen current.
00:19:12 Rosie Tee – Wishbone
(from the album *Night Creature*) Kikimora Records label.
A dimly lit attic room filled with antique mirrors and velvet drapes at midnight. A delicate bone-white wishbone hovers mid-air, cracking open to release swirling threads of crimson light that weave into spectral figures dancing on the walls.
00:22:47 Hannah Peel – Emergence In Nature
(from the album *Fir Wave*) KMP Music Ltd.
Emerald forest canopy at dawn, where sunlight pierces through leaves in sharp, crystalline beams. Tiny bioluminescent particles rise like fireflies in reverse, forming organic patterns that pulse and expand across moss-covered branches in rhythmic waves.
00:26:42 Garden Gate – A Dream Within a Dream
(appears on the album *Edgar Allan Poe*) Library Of The Occult label.
Endless nested corridors of antique bookshelves under flickering candlelight. Pages flutter open on their own, revealing layered dreamscapes: oceans within oceans, skies folding into more skies, each frame dissolving into the next like ink in water.
00:29:13 ena b. – Birds Dance
(from the album *Night Walk*) Secuencias Temporales label
A twilight meadow encircled by ancient willows. Hundreds of shadowy birds lift in unison, their wings tracing glowing arabesques against a bruised purple sky, spiraling upward in harmonious loops that mirror invisible currents of wind.
00:34:05 ANNABEL [lee] – Cat’s Eye
(from the album*DECAPODA*) Buried Treasure label
A velvet-black room illuminated only by a single luminous green cat’s eye gemstone floating at eye level. Refractions scatter emerald light across floating dust motes and half-seen feline silhouettes prowling along the edges of perception.
00:37:06 Daniella Tourgeman, Tomer Baruch – Mistor
(from the album *שפת עולם*) Kame’a Music label
Ancient stone alleyways in a fog-shrouded Mediterranean city at predawn. Soft amber lanterns cast trembling pools of light on dew-wet cobblestones, where whispers of mist curl around arched doorways hiding secrets in shadow.
00:41:34 Castle If – Missing 404
(from the album *darknet*)
A glitchy, pixelated library floating in digital void. Empty bookshelves flicker erratically, pages dissolving into error-code rain that falls upward, while a lone cursor blinks insistently in the center of an unreachable, cracked screen.
00:44:15 Sachi Kobayashi – Nostalgia
(from the album *More Than Just A Dream*) Stereoscenic Records.
A faded childhood bedroom bathed in warm afternoon sun through lace curtains. Old photographs on the wall slowly develop reverse—colors draining away—while a music box melody unwinds in slow motion, dust motes suspended like frozen memories.
00:49:26 Me Lost Me – Real World
(from the album RPG) Upset The Rhythm label.
A bustling urban street viewed through rain-streaked window glass at night. Neon signs blur into watercolor streaks of pink and cyan, pedestrians dissolve into abstract shapes, while reflections in puddles show an alternate, quieter reality beneath.
00:52:23 Little Dragon, April + VISTA – Layers
(from the album *Slipping Into Color*) Ninja Tune label.
Translucent geological strata glowing in deep earth tones underground. Each layer pulses with different hues—indigo, amber, rose—shifting and overlapping like sedimentary memories, with faint bioluminescent veins threading through the rock.
00:55:46 The Mistys – Nervous Mirror
(from the album *Situations | Useless Mouths*) Castles In Space label.
A cracked vanity mirror in a deserted ballroom under chandelier light. Reflections multiply infinitely, each version showing subtle distortions: trembling hands, shifting expressions, fractured eyes staring back with quiet unease.
00:59:42 marine eyes, IKSRE – Forgiveness
(from the album *Nurture*) Past Inside the Present (PITP)
Soft ocean waves lapping at a moonlit shore lined with sea glass. Gentle tides carry away shards of colored light, smoothing rough edges over time, while a pale horizon glows with quiet, healing luminescence.
01:04:36 Sababa 5 & Canay Doğan – Gaip
(from the singel *Gaip / Seher*) Batov Records
A bustling Istanbul bazaar at golden hour, viewed through haze of incense smoke. Spices spill in vibrant pyramids, lanterns sway overhead casting warm patterns on tiled floors, while distant calls blend into a hypnotic, wandering rhythm.
EXPANSIVE WAVES 24
07 March 2026
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…
