Obsidian Mountain Quest
Good day to you listeners, wherever you are. This is Trevor.
Welcome to one of these spontaneous episodes – music from all over the world, sparked by a single track that appears somewhere inside the set. This episode titled Obsidian Mountain Quest is based on the track “dreamt i was born on a mountain” by “anthéne”, from the album “Air Signs” , which comes out on May 22 via channel supporting label DRONARIVM. All the other tracks happened to just fit the vibe.

If you can, subscribe, even if it’s just for the month it would be a great help.
So settle in, turn it up a bit if you can, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it.
No breaks, just the music.
00:00:00 Ali Wade – Xenophyophore
Deep, organic ambient exploring the mysterious world of xenophyophores—giant single-celled deep-sea organisms. Subtle, textural layers and slow geological movement create an alien yet immersive underwater atmosphere.
00:05:03 Tom Eaton – Before Obsidian(from Elements-Fire)
Warm, glowing ambient with rich, fiery undertones. Slow-burning pads and subtle melodic embers evoke the transformative power of fire and the moments just before intense change.
00:14:05 Martin Allin – Learning Is Remembering
Reflective, philosophical ambient built on gentle, evolving textures. A contemplative piece that feels like rediscovering forgotten knowledge through soft, unfolding soundscapes.
00:20:01 OGRE Sound – Insects That Haunted As Well As Fed
Atmospheric, narrative-driven ambient with a slightly dark, cinematic edge. Evokes the dual nature of nature—beauty and unease—through intricate, haunting textures.
00:23:33 jarguna – Soul of Ganga (with Lorenzo Squillari)
Spiritual, flowing ambient inspired by the sacred Ganges River. Deep drones, watery textures, and meditative atmospheres capture both serenity and ancient power.
00:32:40 arovane – youd
Delicate, intricate IDM-tinged ambient from Uwe Zahn. Microscopic details, glitchy fragments, and warm melodic threads create a beautifully fragile, polymer-like sound world.
00:37:07 Christophe Bailleau – Katpur (with Paradise Now)
Mysterious, moonlit ambient with subtle rhythmic undercurrents. Ethereal and slightly ritualistic, it drifts through nocturnal, vertical phases of sound.
00:39:05 Roderick Shoolbraid – Nonagon
Geometric, hypnotic ambient built around nine-sided symmetry. Clean, precise layers and evolving patterns create a sense of sacred geometry in sound.
00:43:01 Desprecio Nauseabundo – Desperate Loss of Material Things & its Obsessive Consequences
Dark, experimental ambient exploring obsession and loss. Dense, unsettling textures and collapsing structures form a psychological, noise-tinged descent.
00:52:07 Coco Francavilla – The Stars Dance in Circles
Celestial, dreamy ambient with graceful, orbiting movements. Shimmering synths and cosmic elegance evoke stars in eternal, circular motion.
00:54:48 Everyday Dust – Oblivione X
Vast, foghorn-laden landscape ambient. Immersive and cinematic, it paints forgotten valleys and distant, echoing oblivion.
01:03:32 Sebby Kowal – Shinjuku
Urban, nocturnal ambient capturing the electric pulse of Tokyo’s Shinjuku district. Neon reflections and bustling stillness blend into a moody, atmospheric portrait.
01:07:52 anthéne – dreamt i was born on a mountain
Light, airy guitar-based ambient from the Air Signs album. Gentle loops, swells, and natural textures evoke mountain-born freedom and wide-open skies.
01:13:48 Letters From Mouse – Quest Affric
Analogue-driven Scottish ambient with bubbling synths and exploratory spirit. A quest-like journey through misty, engrammatic landscapes.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 154
11 December 2025
“Greetings all. Episode one-five-four of the Virtual Cassette Library. Subtitled Decide Views Packages. 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 Trevor, presenting ninety minutes, two virtual sides, fifteen tracks each. Tonight you’ll hear Ranga on Secuencias Temporales, Augen from Womblabel, and FernLodge via Unexplained Sounds Group. Mark Barrott with Norma Winstone and Leo Taylor bring a celestial touch, while Steve Hauschildt and Martin Stürtzer stretch into kosmische and deep ambient zones. On the B side, Dolphins of Venice on Mahorka, Ekoplekz, Portland Vows, and my own track Project Admire Spreads drift through the signal. Jah Wobble, Kid Spatula, and Pyramids of Phobos add echoes of spoken word, IDM, and hauntological soundscapes.
Labels orbiting here include Adventurous Music, Cyclical Dreams, Third Kind Records, Wormhole World, and Balmat. Styles range from ambient and deep techno to ritual electronics, kosmische, jazz-funk, and experimental sound art. These transmissions stretch across places—Mexico City, Lisbon, Leipzig, Glasgow, and Uppsala—woven into the resonance of the library.
The eighth TVCL album is on Bandcamp for pre‑order—it drops when we hit sixteen tracks. Every comment, every like, every subscription keeps the frequencies flowing. So—headphones on, let time dissolve, and let the music claim you.
