Evening Embers Rise
Slowly building layers create a sense of quiet ascension and hopeful emergence.
Good day to you listeners, wherever you are. This is Trevor.
Welcome once again to one of these spontaneous episodes – music from all over the world, sparked by a single track that appears somewhere inside the set itself. This episode titled Evening Embers Rise is based on the track Rise by The Peace Race, from the album Shelter, which comes out on July 1 via the fantastic Mortality Tables label. All the other tracks happened to just fit the vibe.
So settle in, turn it up a bit if you can, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it. If you can subscribe, even if it’s just for the month it would be a great help.
Right then… here we go.
00:00:00 haruka nakamura – 彼方
A tender, shimmering piano-led piece from the Twilight era. Delicate melodies drift like distant memories across a soft, glowing haze—intimate, melancholic, and quietly luminous Japanese ambient at its most poetic.
00:03:00 NOT WAVING – Emotion 1.7 Cleanse
Cool, immersive electronic ambient from the Futuro project. Clean, spacious synth layers and subtle rhythmic undercurrents create a detached, cleansing atmosphere—minimal yet emotionally resonant.
00:08:52 Hollie Kenniff – Embers
Warm, glowing ambient with soft, flickering textures and gentle melodic fragments. Like the last light of a dying fire, it feels comforting, introspective, and healing—perfectly suited to its compilation’s mental health theme.
00:11:18 Rhucle & morimoto naoki – Kubomi
Subtle, layered ambient with intimate field recordings and warm tonal washes. “Kubomi” (hollow/depression) evokes quiet introspection and nostalgic reminiscence through delicate, overlapping soundscapes.
00:13:35 Tom Leclerc – Ker Diary #3
Gentle, diary-like ambient improvisation. Soft synths and organic textures unfold with a personal, reflective quality—peaceful and slightly wistful.
00:15:41 Slow Dancing Society – Do You Remember Me Like I Remember You
Nostalgic, emotionally charged ambient/post-rock drift. Swelling drones and distant melodic echoes explore memory, longing, and the bittersweet ache of recollection.
00:20:53 theAdelaidean – Deep Dreams at the End of the Earth
Vast, cinematic ambient that feels isolated and dreamlike. Deep, resonant tones and airy textures paint a picture of remote, otherworldly solitude.
00:45:14 JICS – monsoon evening
Humid, atmospheric ambient capturing the quiet tension and relief of a monsoon night. Warm drones, subtle rain-like textures, and gentle nostalgia blend into a reflective mood.
00:46:28 Oora – Un Giorno
Flowing, windswept ambient from Vento (“Wind”). Light, breathy textures and organic movement evoke a single day carried on gentle breezes—ethereal and meditative.
00:51:15 Omni Gardens & Zen Monk Jogen – Lifestyle Slow Motion
Laid-back, meditative ambient with slow-evolving tones and a peaceful, almost playful serenity. Perfect “meditation tonality” that invites deep relaxation.
01:10:26 The Peace Race – Rise
Uplifting yet restrained ambient/drone work. Slowly building layers create a sense of quiet ascension and hopeful emergence.
01:13:17 Stray Wool – Skins
Textural, intimate ambient focused on organic layers and subtle shifts. Feels raw and vulnerable, like shedding old layers in sound form.
01:15:46 Volker Rapp – Out of my Mind
Synth-driven, cinematic ambient with a futuristic, slightly dystopian edge (from a Blade Runner 2099 tribute). Immersive and atmospheric.
01:16:25 Richard Norris – Grains Of Light
Delicate, shimmering ambient from the Deep Listening series. Tiny grains of glowing sound accumulate into a beautiful, meditative whole—precise and luminous.
01:18:36 Émérance – Dans une telle immobilité
Still, contemplative ambient exploring deep immobility. Sparse, resonant tones create a profound sense of presence and quiet suspension.
01:26:59 Loopatronica – Helen Of Four Gates part 1
Long-form, evolving drone/ambient with hypnotic, looping structures. Mythic and immersive, it slowly unfolds like an ancient, unfolding ritual.
01:56:25 Luke Sanger – Snow In Spring
https://lukesanger.bandcamp.com/track/snow-in-spring
Delicate, wintry ambient with soft melodic touches. Evokes the surprise and beauty of unexpected snow during warmer days—gentle and bittersweet.
01:59:38 Minimal_drone grl – At the Edge
Sparse, edge-of-perception drone work. Minimal textures hover at the boundary of sound and silence, creating tension and deep focus.
Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 163
4 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‑three of the Virtual Cassette Library. Today’s theme is Vent Making Diverts—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 unreleased track by myself which can only be heard here—so if you’re collecting the oddities and outliers, this one’s for you.
On the B side, we’ve got an exclusive from Mist Signals—Someday Soon—taken from the upcoming Whitelabrecs compilation Sleeplaboratory6.0, which drops on the 17th of January to celebrate the label’s tenth anniversary. A decade of quiet experiments, soft-focus soundscapes, and late-night headphone magic.
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 rest of the show drifts through funk, Idm, ambient drift, modular murmurs, rare views, puddles, mythology, and the occasional monkey. 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.”
