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. Episode 282. 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.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have 1,111 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. A reflective, slightly melancholic ambient journey through vanishing places, last forests, and hovering resonances. Side A opens in dense brainforests and soft sanctuaries, then blooms through disk errors, chosen confusion, Tokyo pavilions, and tired roads halfway from nowhere. Side B drifts into possible villages, orbital last forests, electric roads of trials, chalk coastal paths, invisible hovering worlds, and ends in the hazed industrial interzone of Motor City. Overall mood: Contemplative, atmospheric, and quietly expansive — full of soft disappearances, preserved light, and gentle forward motion. Perfect for deep listening, late-night reflection, or drifting through imagined landscapes. The tape unspools its visions.
Woodwind and spidery guitars open a dense forest of homemade percussion. Polypores – Seeing Absolutely Everything, Then Never Seeing It Again. Tenor recorder, piano, drums and kalimba rise into insectile textures and weaving repetitive melodies. The Brainforest expands in childlike layered motion, every surface alive with loose and slack exploration.
Sanctuary forms in swirling so-longs and dreamy murmured goodbyes. Halftribe – Sanctuary. Immersive tones drift through quiet open space, the field settling into soft reflective presence.
A disk error blooms into luminous data patterns. maps and diagrams – bloom.Solr- X a.41 [disk.err]. Signal fragments rearrange across open digital ground, each one expanding into new radiant forms.
Confusion gathers around a chosen image. Suncastle – Confusion. Sonic colours rise to meet the visual surface, opening into shared imaginative light.
A pavilion stands inside the sleeping Cityfield of Tokyo. Ryu Oshi – Denizen 3 — Pavilion. Offerings of orange light drift from a moving train window. Kami presence expands through electric piano and synthesizer duets, the urban subconscious glowing in mutual respect.
Tired tires roll across an unknown road of blurred memories. Far away Nebraska – And so it begins…. Ringing fills the open air while a storm moves through the mind. Halfway from nowhere the landscape stretches forward in steady motion.
The cassette reaches its midpoint and turns.
A village appears in quiet mirror light where realities fade into new truths. Nahal Kavand – The village where I might have lived one day. Field recordings from Tehran rise through heavy processing into thin layered soundscapes. Disappearances and vanishings open across the surface, time echoing deep within existence.
The last forests of Earth drift through silent orbital chambers. vOLKER rAPP – The last forests of Earth. ARP 2600 and SEM tones expand across vast greenhouse domes. The landscape holds the soft glow of preserved green light moving through space.
A road of trials opens in electric layered motion. Whettman Chelmets – Road of Trials (Electric Mix). Shoegaze ambient textures rise into wide reflective fields, the path expanding in luminous presence.
Beachy Head rises along the foot of the Downs under muted Ravilious colours. Gilroy Mere – Beachy Head. Train windows carry undulating textures, tempos and modulations. Clarinet, trumpet, flute and voice drift through chalk paths and coastal light, crystallizing into open sonic form.
Hovering resonance maps an invisible world drawn in wind and granular synthesis. Philippe Deschamps, The Goodnight Project – The Hovering Resonance. Organic drones and drifting textures expand across distant melodies, opening the boundaries of the ephemeral.
Motor City opens in dusty drum machinery and heavy echo. Sand Circles – Entering Motor City. Analog synths and derelict metropolis atmospheres rise through white sand, downtown haze and distant lights. The interzone expands in hazed industrial reverie.
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?

This has been Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, episode 281. Travel safely between the tracks. I’ll meet you on the other side of the next spool.
Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape. Trevor here. You’ve just pressed play on another fragile spool of the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 276. A twelve-track virtual cassette that flips itself at the halfway mark, whether you’re ready or not. 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 nostalgic, gently varied ambient journey through parting regrets, haunted cities, wildlife, and liquid illusions. Side A moves from crackling farewells and spectral urban spaces into sunflowers, foxes, returning places, and soft confusion. Side B shifts through weird islands, mythical unicorns, brief summer echoes, transistor revolutions, distant horizons, and ends in liquid dreams. Overall mood: Warm, reflective, and lightly mysterious — blending personal nostalgia with quiet wonder and soft experimental edges. Perfect for relaxed listening, late afternoons, or peaceful immersion. I’ll introduce Side A now. Side B will wait for the intermission, as is tradition. The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have 1,104 other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes.

This will be followed by another UK based artist LoveKrafty and the also nostalgic track Sunflowers from the 2020 release Rainbow Drifter. Then if I say Preston you’ll probably say Polypores. If you know Polypores then you’d probably not recognise this as being the same artist. I’ve chosen the track Foxes taken from his latest release Wildlife. It’s availabe on cassette through the Aural Canyon label. After that we head to Italy and an artist who ended yesterdays episode Far away Nebraska with the drifting drone tones of a track titled It’s been a while since I’ve been here from the album Halfway from nowhere which is out on Seil Records sub-label Kordel Records. Closing Side A is Tehran based Iranian artist Nahal Kavand and the lovely floating drones of the track Confusion from the album Echoes of a Fading Existence which is out on Lᴏɴᴛᴀɴᴏ Series which is the sub-label of rohs! records.

Then we find ourselves in Southsea, UK based artist swimming lesson. Now this is a super duper exclusive from a collective of absolutly wonderful souls that I’ve had the pleasure of knowing for a few years now.

Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here. Apologies for the sound quality today. I’m on holidays and find it hard to hard to get a spot quiet enough to record. Anyway… Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 257. A 12 track virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark. 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.

Overall mood: Contemplative, wondrous, and atmospheric with a strong sense of vastness and quiet power. Perfect for deep listening, nature connection, or late-night immersion. I’ve gone back to doing more podcast like episodes but I’ll do all the talking now as I put a lot of love into making seamless segued mixes. There is just one break halfway through to give the “virtual cassette” meaning. The shows are free for the first week and then go to my too few subscribers who get to enjoy the 257 episodes plus the 819 other shows whenever they like all for the price of… I actually don’t know what you can buy for €3 anymore.

Side B gives us inner and out space exploration from Oregon based Modular Synth artist Bart Hawkins. A meditative soundscape from Melbourne based friend Willebrant who’s sneaked into the mix twice. Then after the inspired Paul Beaudoin track we drift into a legend of the scene and one I’ve never been able to make contact with. Lee Anthony Norris, here as one of his many alter egos Moss Garden It’s available on lots of places including Fantasy Enhancing, Neotantra and NATURE BLISS. Penultimately from Trittau, Germany is Christian Fiesel with a release on Cyclical Dreams.

Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here. Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 255. A 12 track virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark. 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. Please leave a tip and subscribe to the Mixcloud channel every little helps. A gentle, nature-infused, and introspective ambient journey through seasons, plants, and storytelling. Side A flows from sunny rain and clear ambiguity into fleeting glimpses, resigned beauty, and rhythmic patterns. Side B gathers around campfires, buoys, synesthetic storms, momentary drifts, and golden mystical pillars. Overall mood: Warm, contemplative, and quietly wondrous with a strong connection to nature and emotion. Perfect for deep relaxation, morning listening, or peaceful reflection. Episode 255 is based on the track “Buoy.” by “Willebrant” from the release “Selected Works – Slowed and Reverb, Volume 2”. Which Australian artist Karl Willebrant sent me a couple of days back. The track is over 13 minutes long so it should be on an episode of Expansive Waves which is my long form music show. For the moment that’s on hold as I don’t have the will to do one. Mainly from lack of time but also from having to pay for the shows myself as I’m still, after years of trying, missing 2 subscribers from the channel in order to get a payout from Mixcloud. It’s super frustrating dangling on that edge for so long. Anyway a massive shout out to Richard Francés of Hylé Tapes for sending me their catalogue of wonderful releases. You’ll be hearing lots from Hylé Tapes in the near future. In other news, Substak has entered a track for my next compilation release “Quiet Figures”. Get your entry in before September 24th and join him and The Earl of Dean. Details on the Bandcamp page.

00:00:00 Pageant – Too Far A drifting, melancholic ambient piece with soft, distant swells and a sense of emotional distance. Gentle textures unfold like regretful memories viewed from afar—intimate yet unreachable. 00:04:41 Rhucle – B2. Rew Warm, tape-saturated ambient from Rhucle’s signature hazy style. Lo-fi loops and gentle field recordings create a nostalgic, rewound atmosphere full of quiet introspection and faded light. 00:07:40 Tewksbury – Karst Geological ambient inspired by limestone landscapes. Crystalline tones, subtle cracks, and slow-dissolving textures evoke underground caves, dripping water, and hidden hollow spaces. 00:10:10 dropTable – Wanna ditch class and go to the mall Playful, nostalgic lo-fi ambient with a carefree 90s/early 2000s teenage daydream vibe.

Deep pads and floating melodies create a sense of peaceful disorientation among distant stars and endless void. 00:24:34 Joerg Dankert – What Is That Curious, questioning ambient with shifting, uncertain textures. Subtle unease and wonder blend as unidentified sounds emerge from the shadows—mysterious and slightly surreal. 00:29:21 Pietro Zollo – Upward Ascending, hopeful ambient with rising drones and luminous layers. It feels like gentle elevation—moving from grounded stillness toward light and open sky. 00:36:20 SYMBOL – Street Machines Retro-futuristic synth ambient with mechanical pulse and nocturnal city energy.

Warm acoustic elements and crackling textures evoke old wooden barns, soil, and half-remembered rural summers. 00:45:45 Glinca – We Shall Be Like Dreamers Lush, surreal ambient that drifts between reality and reverie. Soft, cloud-like layers and gentle swells create a beautiful, immersive dream-state full of wonder. 00:54:05 Sad Graffiti – L’idiota Poignant, introspective ambient with a touch of melancholy. Sparse and emotionally raw, it feels like the quiet reflection of Dostoevsky’s fool—vulnerable and strangely wise. 01:04:33 Ulises Labaronnie – Part III Deep, evolving drone/ambient from the Argentine composer. Rich harmonic layers slowly unfold with a meditative, almost architectural sense of space and time. 01:11:55 Sulk Rooms – Details Are Important Meticulous, micro-focused ambient highlighting tiny sonic details. Intimate and slightly obsessive, it rewards close listening with hidden textures and quiet emotional depth. 01:16:29 Elise Plans – Cantoo (Everything Lasts Forever…) Bittersweet, expansive ambient exploring permanence and impermanence.

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.

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.

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.
