Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 268. 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 reflective, slightly dark ambient journey through memory, menace, quantum subtlety, and quiet acceptance.
Side A moves from flaming intensity and small-room nostalgia into protective shielding, occult precision, and wave-function deviations. Side B drifts through mossy mind-fog, returning places, hauntological guidance, Moog meadows, and ends on accepted suffering and powerlessness.
Overall mood: Contemplative, melancholic, and atmospheric — blending intimate warmth with subtle darkness and philosophical calm. Ideal for deep listening, late-night reflection, or quiet immersion.
I’ll introduce Side A now and Side B in the intermission. The shows are free for the first week and then go to my very few Mixcloud subscribers who get to enjoy the 1 093 other shows whenever they like.
As a subscriber you also get access to my new series Veil Frequencies based on a fictional world I’ve created called The Resonant Veil Enclave. Each episode is around three hours and recorded from one of the floors of the 24 buildings in the veil. You can read about it on my Substack page. Mixcloud subscribers also get the ever expanding version of the upcoming compilation titled Quiet Figures.
On this TVCL episode you’ll be aurally pleasured by James Bernard with the title track from his album “In A Small Room, Decades Ago” a love letter to the magical 90s. Grab a CD copy from the Past Inside the Present label.
This is followed by the shortest piece of the episode by Glass Roots and the 44 second gem “Merchant of Menace” from the 2020 nyp album “The Idiot” out on Triplicate Records.
Then a super exclusive from fellow Irishman Peter Fitzpatrick aka Circuit3 and the beautiful retro synth piece “Shielding From The Past” from the album “Metanoia: Music From Therapy” which can be pre ordered from the artists Bandcamp page and will also be released on the Mortality Tables label on the 14th of August.
The penultimate track of the first side of the virtual cassette is by the amazing James McKeown aka Hawksmoor with another track from his latest medieval inspired outing “Yclept Thorn” this time with the chilled piece “Ockham”. Out on the Library Of The Occult label.
Finishing off the first half, Fraser Rowan aka Ty Lumnus and his mind altering modular track “Deviations in the Wave Function” from his latest release titled “Resonances in the Hidden Field” which you can get a cassette version of through the Astral Discs label.
But first, to set the vibe is Ramsgates finest, Nick Bonell aka Lone Bison with not only the opening tune from episode but the opener from his latest album “Longshore Drifting” out on channel champion label Castles in Space. This is “Down in Flames”.
Now settle in, turn it up a bit, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it.
One side flip, just the music.
Welcome sonic travellers to the B side. Six tracks down and six to go.
You’ll hear a gem from the 1978 album “Adonia” by Hervé Picart aka Ose and the synth dreamy track “Retour sur Adonia”. Get your CD or vinyl copy from the Bureau B label.
This is followed by another Belbury Poly track who I played in the previous episode. Here with “Your Way Today” from the wonderful album “The Owl’s Map.” Now available on Belbury Polys Bandcamp page.
After that Shropshire based Tom Kennedy aka Swansither and the pulsing “Moog Meadows” from another compilation you should have “Undulating Waters 10” the final release by the legendary Woodford Halse label.
Then the penultimate track for today comes in the form of recent friend of the channel and Hylé Tapes curator Richard Francés, here together with visual artists Faustine De Bock and Simon Girard aka Konpyuta here with the arp infused track “Accept Suffering” from the 2024 album “Music for Healing” which you can get on a pretty pink tape via the Planisphère label.
Finishing us off is the pumping beats of Ali O’May and Frazer Brown aka Dohnavùr and their banger “Powerless” from their recently released “We Owe Each Other Everything” album out on, yes, Castles In Space.
But first, friend of the show, Everyday Dust with some wonderful polyrhythmic noodlings in the track “(To Cut A Long Story Short) I Mossed My Mind” from his latest collection of archive finds titled “The Relic Room” which you can get on the Dustopian Frequencies label. Enjoy…

A gentle, seasonal, and introspective ambient journey through light, warmth, cold textures, and personal discovery.

Overall mood: Serene, contemplative, and quietly wondrous with a strong connection to nature and emotion. Perfect for deep relaxation, morning listening, or peaceful reflection.
I’ve gone back to doing more podcast style episodes but I’ll do all the talking now in the intro as I’ve put a lot of love into making seamless segued mixes. There is just one break halfway through the episode to give the “virtual cassette” title a meaning. The shows are free for the first week and then go to my very few subscribers who get to enjoy the 259 episodes plus the 821 other shows whenever they like all for the price of… I actually don’t know what you can buy for 3 quid. It used to be a coffee.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 258

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 258. 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 quirky, colourful, and atmospheric ambient journey through vintage whimsy, seasonal introspection, and urban environments.
Side A moves from posh timepieces and color seas into winter frost, fluid transference, cloud gazing, and returning light. Side B shifts through modular habitats, Trieste streets, secure institutions, and cinematic projections.
Overall mood: Playful yet contemplative, warm, and slightly uncanny with a mix of nostalgia and modern reflection. Perfect for adventurous listening or relaxed evenings.
I’ve gone back to doing more podcast like episodes but I’ll do all the talking now in the intro 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 258 episodes plus the 820 other shows whenever they like all for the price of… I actually don’t know what you can buy for €3 anymore. It used to be a coffee.
Episode 258 is based on the track “Habitat 67” by my friends “The Twelve Hour Foundation” from the release “Expanded & Repurposed” coming out on their Bandcamp on July 27th.
On this episode you’ll be aurally pleasured by Queens, New York based Chris Moore aka Light Vortex with the sound art track “Awash In A Sea Of Color” from the album “Aurora In Georgian Bay” out on Mortality Tables.
My friend of the channel Matthew Davies aka Vic Mars with the Chilled piece we all need right now “Winter II” from his collection of must have tracks “From Different Landscapes”.
A beat driven piece by Paris, France based Stephane Laporte aka Domotic from his amazing 36 track album which I’ve been playing a lot recently “Fourrure Sounds Vol. 3 to 6” out on Virtual Cassette supporting label Astra Solaria Recordings.
Then Canadian artist Grant Gard, who records as landtitles with the clarinet infused track “staring at the clouds” from the album “geographic beings, phosphorus mountains” out on whitelabrecs.
After that Tucson, Arizona based Kirk Markarian aka Neuro… No Neuro with the ambient swelling track “You Wasted Your Time” from the album “MemLoss” out on the Sheffield based Audiobulb label.
Then from the latest Cyclical Dreams label release comes the wonderfully stereo panned piece “The Light That Returns” by Adam Filip from the album “The Returning Circle”.
Ending the A side is Michael Plaster aka yttriphie with the Boards of Canada tinged “A Narrow Field of View” from the album “Solipsis” out on Projekt Records.
Starting off Side B is the inspiration for this episode and one of those bands that are instantly recognisable and just a good mood pill in general. They are of course Polly Hulse and Jez Butler collectively known as The Twelve Hour Foundation. With a track from their latest release “Expanded & Repurposed” with the track “Habitat 67” featuring the brilliant Alan Gubby of Buried Treasure / Revbjelde fame adding vibraphone to this classic.
This flows into Brutalist architecture inspired “Rozzol Melara [Triest]” by Fredy Engel aka MiDi BiTCH from another Cyclical Dreams release titled “Habitat”.
Then the penultimate piece for today comes in the form of another favourite artist from the past few years Cate Francesca Brooks and the hypnotic piece “Secure Environments Ltd” from the album “For Your Security”.
And finishing us off is the 18 minute 25 second piece “Untitled 1 [a,b,c,d,e]” by The Projectionist from the rather special label The Dream Journal Institute whose artists don’t seem to actually exist yet they are not AI. This track would have ended up on an episode of Expansive Waves but I’m not doing them any more as they just aren’t worth it. Too much time equals too few listeners.
But setting the vibe for all of this is Portsmouth based legend Keith Seatman with his track “A Posh Hat and Timepiece” from the album “Counting To Ten Then Back Again” out on Castles In Space.
So settle in, turn it up a bit, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 255

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.

Also the fantastic collaboration of zakè, Ossa, ASC with a release on zakés own Bandcamp page.
Ending the episode is Danish artist øjeRum with a release on Lithuanian label Amulet of Tears who has also supported the channel with loads of releases.
But first out to start the ball rolling Toronto based artist Chad Skinner also known as Sun Rain with his track May from the Imaginary North release Lake Effect: Quiet Music From Toronto.

EXPANSIVE WAVES 27

Good evening… or morning… or whatever smeared fragment of clock time you’ve drifted into today. This is EXPANSIVE WAVES 27. 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 whatever time that takes. 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.
We begin somewhere near the edge of pull with friend of the channel Greek super drone artist Substak and his track Gravity Lapse
Imagine You’re suspended ten feet above your childhood bedroom floor. Everything that once had weight is gently forgetting its job. Books hover. A glass of water tilts but never spills. Your pulse slows until it matches the rhythm of dust motes doing lazy cartwheels in a moonbeam.
The room exhales. Gravity gives up mid-sentence. Substak lets the low end sag like warm taffy while metallic shimmers orbit your head. Stay here. Let your bones remember they’re mostly water.
…and when the floor finally decides to forgive you…
Cells Interlinked with Drift (Summer memories about spring) from the album Cold Spring Notes released on the ever present Cyclical Dreams.
Bare feet on wet grass that hasn’t decided if it’s still spring or already drowning in summer. A bicycle with playing cards in the spokes lies on its side. Someone is laughing three houses away but you can’t tell if it’s 1997 or yesterday. Cherry blossoms fall upward into a sky the colour of melted peach ice cream.
You thought you were driving home but the road turned into a river of pollen and half-remembered songs. Cells Interlinked keeps time with your nostalgia instead of a metronome. Close your eyes. The light behind them is the exact shade of June.
Next… we step through something older than language.
The Taps Of The Holy Trinity with The Passage
(Exclusive track from the upcoming album “Customs & Rituals of…” releasing on the Fenny Compton label on the 20th of June 2026)
Think Candlelight on stone walls older than your grandparents’ grandparents. Bare feet on cold stone. A single drop of water falls every few seconds. Each drip rearranges the molecules of your thoughts. Shadows have their own shadows here.
Listen. These aren’t notes. These are permissions. The Taps Of The Holy Trinity open a door that was never meant to stay closed. Walk through slowly. Something in the dark knows the real you.
From ritual… to sealed silence.
No episode of mine, it seems, is complete without a couple of artists from the Bulgarian label Mahorka. Whom which I’ve done a four part guest show on their wonder Planck Tone series. Ivo Petrov seems to have a knack of bringing fantastic artists together the first of this episode being Toni Dimitrov + Blanket Swimming with the title track from their release Hermetic
So you’re inside a sealed glass sphere floating in deep space. No panic, just warm recognition. Your breath fogs the inside of the glass and spells out forgotten Sigils. A single bulb burns perfectly still in zero gravity. Outside, stars move like slow schools of silver fish.
Hermetic. Sealed. Complete. Two minds braided so tightly the sound has no edges anymore. Just one continuous skin of tone. You are the vessel. You are also what’s inside the vessel.
And then the paths appear… whether you asked for them or not.
Andreas Rönnquist + rsn the second piece from the Mahorka label with the track invisible paths from their album within remoteness
Midnight in an endless bamboo forest. Moonlight cuts through the stalks in perfect geometric slices. Every few steps the ground becomes a mirror. You see versions of yourself walking parallel paths you never chose.
These paths are the anywhere. Andreas and rsn hand you a lantern made of negative space. Follow it. Or don’t. The forest doesn’t mind either way.
Somewhere in the middle of nowhere, someone is still adjusting the dials…
R&D and the track Adjust the Mixture from the album, Periscope Depth, performed at The Adventurers Guild.
Think an abandoned chemical laboratory at 3:33 a.m. Beakers bubble with liquid starlight. A scientist in a lab coat keeps turning knobs that control the weather inside your ribcage. The air tastes of copper and déjà vu.
R&D mixing states of being. One part memory, two parts future, a dash of never-was. Breathe it in. Your blood is learning new colours.
And just when you think the canvas is finished…
Friend of the channel Alex Ringess with Tableau #4 from his fantastic release Analog Abstractions.
Now, you’re standing inside a fresh painting. The oils are still alive. Mountains breathe. A river of mercury reflects a sky that contains every sunset you’ve ever ignored. The frame is optional.
Alex Ringess paints the silence between sounds. Step inside Tableau #4. The perspective is wrong in the best possible way.
Final orbit…
From Sydney, Australia, Bill Astro Music and the track Fragile Orbit from the album Trinary Solitude.
A small, imperfect satellite made childhood wishes tumbling end over end around a lonely planet. One more revolution and it might kiss the atmosphere and burn beautifully. For now, it sings.
We’re all in fragile orbit. Bill Astro reminds us how lovely that is. How temporary. How perfect.
Until the next fragment of drifting time pulls us back into the same warm current… this is Trevor, signing off from EXPANSIVE WAVES 27.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 223
Atlas Dream Habit

Based on the track “Escape to Dream” from the album “Escape to Dream” by “Solace Road”.
Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. A 60 minute virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark.
A tender, atmospheric ambient journey centered on introspection, escape, and emotional depth.
Side A drifts through gentle dreamscapes, delicate melodies, and fragile, watery textures — evoking longing, memory, and quiet reflection. Side B expands into luminous, slowed, and alchemical territory before shifting toward vivid cosmic and dark energy realms.
Overall mood: Dreamy, melancholic, and emotionally resonant with a strong sense of space and solitude. It feels intimate yet vast — like drifting between inner thoughts and the cosmos. Ideal for deep listening, late-night reflection, meditation, or unwinding.
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.
So settle in, turn it up a bit, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it.
One side flip, just the music.
