25 April 2026
Skivcentrum in Uppsala where I bought Bitches Brew.
Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
Hey. Welcome. This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library. Episode one-nine-six.
We’re still pretending it’s a radio show for the sonically adventurous. But really it’s just me and the frequencies in an empty apartment while the world outside forgets we exist.
Stream it free for seven days on Mixcloud.
The background track is available on Trevlad’s TVCL 11 on Bandcamp. The episodes are sonic journeys with metaphysical flips at the halfway mark—perfect for long walks, mental wanders, or quiet moments alone with the universe.
No schedule. Just the mood and the margins.
This episode is broadcasting from a record store in Uppsala where I bought Bitches Brew.
Headphones on. Let time dissolve. And let the frequencies claim you.

That was THE GAYE DEVICE – Neon Hymn To The Infinite… before that Moray Newlands – The rope will bind the seven books at once… and earlier Subphotic with Nothing Changes.
Moving deeper now.
We have BUNKR – Circling the Monolith, from my own catalogue on Bandcamp.
Then the collaborative piece Brass Clouds, Fog Net, & Volcanic Pinnacles – Decompression (Nocturne) on Bathysphere Records.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 190
04 April 2026
Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
Hey.
Welcome back… or maybe you just crawled in through a crack in the wall.
This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library. Episode one-nine-zero.
We’re still pretending it’s a radio show for the sonically adventurous.
But really it’s just me and the frequencies arguing in an empty apartment while the world outside forgets I exist.
Stream free for seven days on Mixcloud.
Background track tonight available on Trevlad’s TVCL 11. A sonic journey with a metaphysical flip at the halfway mark — perfect for a long walk, a mental wander, or a quiet moment alone with the universe.
Massive shout out to Iso Brown for spotlighting the channel — gave me about three hundred new followers and maybe one new listener. Also big love to my latest follower Alan Ranta, who’s recently done an astonishing 11 and half hour retro library mix.
Anyway
Headphones on.
Let time dissolve.
And let the frequencies claim you.
We’re bunching it tonight — four transmissions at a time. Like weird little dreams stitched into the set. No schedule. Just the mood and the margins.
Tonight’s episode is broadcasting from… healers.dominate.slices.
Eric Ericsonhallen — Event centre in Stockholm. Now it’s just a coordinate for whatever this episode is.
Let’s go.
FIRST CLUSTER
First — Apta with “Falter”. Manchester, UK,Dream-pop haze wrapped in post-punk bones.
Then Passepartout Duo — “From Belgrade”. Verona, Italy, Live-wire travelogue piece from their Pieces from Places series. Synth lines that feel like walking through the city.
Third — Pulselovers and “Timbral Awake”. Deep electronic drift from Doncaster, UK, textures that shift like light through old film stock. Via Woodford Halse.
And closing this one out: Maggie Nicols, Robert Mitchell & Alya Al Sultani — “Inner Sanctum”. Intimate, improvised vocal and piano ritual. Three voices weaving a small cathedral out of breath and keys. via Discus Music.
Here we go.
SECOND CLUSTER
Next bundle of four, fresh from the margins:
Italian artist Lorenzo Bracaloni aka Fallen — “This World is quickly Fading”. Fragile, dissolving sound that feels like the last light of an ending day. Via Bulgarias Mahorka label who I am guesting soon on their Planck Tones channel.
Then my own little transmission: Trevlad with “Retrial Twinge Memo”. Taken from the TVCL 10 vaults. A twinge of memory on retrial and a spot on the platform of my local train station.
Followed by Lorna Dune — “Void Coefficient”. Milwaukee, Wisconsin based, Sharp, precise electronic study from her Mosfet EP. Power flows and empty spaces.
And rounding it off: Hong Kong based Anita Tatlow & Runaway Horses with “lunar phase”. Gentle ambient vocal drift, like moonlight leaking through blinds. Via Echoes Blue Music.
Drift with me.
THIRD CLUSTER (pre-B Side)
Third cluster already. The night is getting loose.
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard — “Doom City”. Melbourne, Australia, Microtonal chaos from Flying Microtonal Banana. The pollution gods are laughing. Via the p(doom) label.
Then Mark Ellery Griffiths with “Synthi Sequence A”. Pure UK synth archaeology. Sequences breathing through old EMS circuitry like ghosts in the machine.
FOURTH CLUSTER (B Side)
Alright. Four more transmissions bleeding through.
Adrian Lane — “Reach For The Horizon”. Warm, horizon-staring ambient. Via whitelabrecs.
Benge — “Four Forty Two”. Precise, machine-soul electronics.
Asheville, North Carolina based Spooqs — “Hygge (Demo)”. Cozy but slightly unhinged.
And Djrum — “Three Foxes Chasing Each Other”. Breakbeat mysticism in full flight. Via Houndstooth.
Side B is now live.
FIFTH CLUSTER
Fifth cluster. We’re deep in it now.
CIALYN — “Sun Childs”. Bright, glowing electronic lullaby from Lille, France
Aucuba Replica — “Noni”. Strange fruit, stranger frequencies. Via Secuencias Temporales.
Ori Kaplan & Lihu Melamed — “Shangri La”. Mystical, searching jazz-tinged wander. Via Batov Records.
And Psyché — “Sabir”. Hypnotic, ancient-future pulse. Via Four Flies Records.
Still with me?
FINAL CLUSTER
Last cluster. Final transmission before the static wins. A long and a short piece.
Frankfurt Am Main, Germany based Jogging House — “Parker”. Slow-burn ambient reflection. Via artist curated Seil Records.
And finally Los Angeles, California based Elijah Fox — “Glass House / Clear Pool”. Crystalline, watery piano and electronics.
That’s the whole set.
Thanks for floating here with me.
I hope the journey sends you in the direction of these artists. All the links and purchase paths are illuminated at trevor.se, on Trevor Lewis on Substack, and marked in the timeline.
If you’re still listening… you’re in the club.
No meetings. No rules. Just dust and frequencies.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 189
Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
03 April 2026
votes.riddle.tuck.
Brams burgers – great burger joint. Now it’s just a coordinate for whatever this episode is.
Hey.
Welcome back… or maybe you just crawled in through a crack in the drywall.
This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library. Episode one-eight-nine.
We’re still pretending it’s a radio show for the sonically adventurous, but really it’s just me and the frequencies arguing in an empty apartment while the world outside forgets I exist.
Headphones on.
Let time dissolve.
And let the frequencies claim you.
We’re bunching it tonight – four transmissions at a time, like weird little dreams stitched into the set. No schedule. Just the mood and the margins.
FIRST CLUSTER
Four signals crawling out of the high passes and the liberation fronts.
Sonic-Soma – Kinnaur Calling – Cities and Memory, Nepal field recordings turned into sonic soma.
The Music Liberation Front Sweden – Astra Shambotica – Submarine Broadcasting, astral jazz revolution.
Grosso Gadgetto – Quadrata Dodus Act 2 – Bulgarian label Mahorka, who might be the reason for me not doing these episodes for a few days. Keep an eye and ear out for future Planck Tone episodes I may be guesting.
Willebrant – Dell – atmospheric drone from down under. Birds in the rain. A must.
You just survived the first transmission: Sonic-Soma, The Music Liberation Front Sweden, Grosso Gadgetto, and Willebrant.
The space between us is definitely thinner now.
SECOND CLUSTER Brain shells cracking open, hits amended, voids flattered, dust explained. Zerfranzt – Hirnschale – which means skull or, the nicer translation of, Brain case from Kaiseki Digital, who I’ve been playing lately as Free Album Codes has provided me with codes for some early releases from 2018. German synaptic spill. Trevlad – Hits Enjoyable Amended – self-released soundscape from the episode of the same name. A repeat name from the spot where I try and sleep most nights. This one’s from the album TVCL 10 and has nothing to do with the track of the same name from TVCL 09. Puscha – Sycophanatic – NEN, Melbourne cinematic hypnosis. Provided by Fonodroom. Everyday Dust – Without Explanation – Dustopian Frequencies, Scottish drone stories that evaporate.
You just floated through Zerfranzt, Trevlad, Puscha, and Everyday Dust. Halfway mark is creeping up. I’m starting to feel that metaphysical flip? The universe just winked at you and kept walking.
THIRD CLUSTER (pre-B Side)
Edges blurring, bodies floating.
phorme – blur – Kaiseki Digital, Australian meditative haze from NSW. Also from 2018.
Takashi Kusano – Floating – Sounds for the Soul, Japanese levitation.
And then comes the B Side…
phorme and Takashi Kusano just lifted you clean out of gravity.
Now the bench is empty and the cats are from hell.
FOURTH CLUSTER (B Side)
Empty benches, hellcat beats, half-human wires, clinical worms.
Substak – Empty Bench – Daydreamers, Greek meditative park-bench snippet.
Le Morte d’Abby – Nyanko No Jigoku Beat – dark electro from the neon underworld.
Jilk – Half-Human – Bricolage, Glasgow idm hybrid soul.
The Foot & Leg Clinic – Worms 2 – alternative rock diagnosis under fluorescent lights.
You just sat on Substak’s Empty Bench, got bitten by Le Morte d’Abby’s hellcats, glitched with Jilk, and received a full worm examination from The Foot & Leg Clinic.
Your body is now 40% frequency.
FIFTH CLUSTER
Appetizers of life, grace with nothing, tidal animation tags, Nordic sea breath.
The Appetizers – The Life – Italian roots reggae funk from Rome.
Rejoicer – Grace Was Happy (I Found Nothing) – LA epiphany of joyful emptiness. Sounds as if Weather Report did music for film.
Record Of Tides – Yoshimoto Animation Tag – Mahorka hauntological Japanese cels on the tide. Glitchy 8-bit crackles.
Albin – Havet – Paltunes, Swedish sea inhaling your thoughts. Everything Albin Johansson touches glows with a nostalgic warmth I can never get enough of.
You just tasted The Appetizers, let Rejoicer’s Grace smile at nothing, rode Record Of Tides’ animation waves, and sank into Albin’s Havet.
The apartment is underwater now.
FINAL CLUSTER
Rain shelter geometry and half-a-day London melt.
Kikagaku Moyo – Amayadori – Guruguru Brain, psychedelic Tokyo forest clearing.
ff8282 – london / half the day – 4000 Records, fractured electronic daydreams.
You just sheltered with Kikagaku Moyo and melted through half a London day with ff8282.
That’s the whole set.
Thanks for floating here with me.

EXPANSIVE WAVES 25
26 March 2026
Good evening… or morning… or whatever fragment of time you’ve found yourself floating in. This is Expansive Waves, episode twenty-five. I’m Trevor—your host, your guide, your occasional sonic conspirator.
This programme is not for the hurried. Eight pieces. Each longer than twelve 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. Or just turn the volume down and stare at the ceiling. That works too.
Massive shout out to Iso Brown on Mixcloud, who spotlighted the show and sent a fresh wave of new followers crashing in. Welcome, newcomers. I usually mention new followers but out of the 200 new followers I’m guessing that maybe one or two will like or comment, but if you do I will mention you and your channel in the next episode. I hope you enjoy the many strange faces of these outings—independent artists, leftfield corners, music that refuses to be in a rush.
We begin with what has been described as the album of the year so far.
Deep Earth Network – Land 2
https://richardnorris.bandcamp.com/track/land-2
Ancient soil breathing through cracked speakers while forgotten BBC voices whisper about ley lines and the first gods who were mostly moss.
So settle in. Let the kettle boil. Let the cat sleep on your chest like a small, warm dictator. Let the world spin without you for a while.
That was Land 2 by Deep Earth Network from the EP Land out on the Republic of Music label.
JSF – Time And Space, Compressed
https://theastralrealms.bandcamp.com/track/time-and-space-compressed
Your childhood bedroom at 3 a.m. stretched until the walls become nebulae and the glow-in-the-dark stars remember they were once real suns.
That was Time And Space, Compressed by JSF from the album Astral Airways out on The Dream Journal Institute
Gareth Evans aka HDRF – Flowergate Coda – a glimpse into HDRFs live set at Switched On 2025 in Whitby last November.
https://hdrf.bandcamp.com/track/flowergate-coda
A single flower made of stained glass slowly melting back into rain on the roof of an abandoned Victorian greenhouse.
That was Flowergate Coda by HDRF from the self released album H25L. Do grab this release yours truly feature on the first couple of tracks.
*Zyggurat is Pete Grimshaw’s experimental jazz project – Out of Darkness into Light
https://old-technology.bandcamp.com/
Release date 10th of April
Climbing the last step of a black marble staircase that ends in blinding white dawn, barefoot, with no memory of how many centuries you just walked.
That was Out of Darkness into Light by Zyggurat from the album Sphere to Sphere dropping April 10th on the Old Technology label.
Correlations – 3300 WELLSPRING TAPE PHASER REF
https://correlations1.bandcamp.com/track/3300-wellspring-tape-phaser-ref
Every cassette you ever owned playing at once inside a warm metal well, tape hiss turning into soft spring water that tastes faintly of solder and nostalgia.
That was 3300 WELLSPRING TAPE PHASER REF by Correlations a self released track.
Michael Brückner – A Sequence of Colours – Parts 8
https://cyclicaldreams.bandcamp.com/track/a-sequence-of-colours-parts-8-10
Walking through a cathedral built entirely from slowly shifting stained-glass emotions—indigo guilt becoming emerald forgiveness becoming gold that has no name.
That was A Sequence of Colours – Parts 8 by Michael Brückner from the album A Sequence of Colours out on Cyclical Dreams
Projet -> Renard) Ost) – Avulsing Prometheus
https://maxencedubroca.bandcamp.com/track/avulsing-prometheus
The titan chained to the mountain suddenly realizing the eagle is just a very committed performance artist and the liver is optional.
That was Avulsing Prometheus by Projet -> Renard) Ost) who are Maxence Dubroca, Anita Franz & Simon Gris. This was from the album Jump Badger Jump.
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.
Feel free to leave a thought on the Mixcloud timeline. A sentence. A sigh. A single emoji that somehow says everything.
Until the next fragment of time pulls us back together… this is Trevor, signing off from Expansive Waves, episode twenty-five.
We end with 46 minutes from
DaFou – Time passing by, from the album Berlin Transit also out on Cyclical Dreams
https://cyclicaldreams.bandcamp.com/track/time-passing-by
Standing on a moving Berlin sidewalk at 4 a.m. while every second of your life files past like friendly ghosts waving from trams that never quite stop.
Cheerio…

Ode to the fem
00:00:00 Patricia Wolf – The Grotto
(from the album See-Through)
Balmat records.
Soft emerald light filters through a hidden cave entrance, illuminating dripping stalactites that gleam like wet crystals. Shadows shift gently across moss-covered stone walls as faint ripples spread across a shallow turquoise pool. Pale vines curl downward, touching the water’s surface, while distant echoes suggest unseen chambers opening further in.
00:02:54 marine eyes – suddenly green
(from the album to belong)
Past Inside the Present.
Early morning fog lifts from rolling hills, revealing fresh blades of grass sparkling with dew under a pale sky. Sunlight breaks through in soft patches, turning the landscape a vivid, almost luminous shade of spring green. Distant wildflowers sway lightly, and the air feels newly alive with quiet renewal.
00:05:50 IKSRE – Granite
(from the album Solar Return: Golden Hour Mix)
Imaginary North.
Ancient rock faces rise stark against a vast, open sky at dusk, their rough surfaces etched with veins of quartz that catch fading golden light. Wind moves across the stone, carrying subtle grains of dust, while the horizon blurs into warm amber tones, evoking timeless solidity and quiet endurance.
00:09:01 Panic Girl – Feathers Of Hope
(from the album Memories)
i u we records.
Delicate white feathers drift slowly downward through golden afternoon light, catching gentle currents in an open meadow. They settle softly on tall grass stems, some twirling upward again before landing, surrounded by distant wild blooms and a sense of uplifting lightness.
00:11:26 Volker Rapp – Out of my Mind
(from the album Blade Runner 2099)
Cyclical Dreams.
Neon reflections shimmer across rain-slicked streets in a futuristic cityscape at night, with towering holographic billboards flickering in electric blues and pinks. Distant flying vehicles streak overhead, their lights trailing like comets, while the scene pulses with synthetic glow and detached introspection.
00:11:58 Andrea Cichecki – Different Step
(from the album Drawn Into The Edge Effect)
Castles In Space.
Footsteps trace an irregular path along a narrow coastal ledge at twilight, where waves crash below against dark rocks. Mist rises from the sea, blending with soft purple hues in the sky, and small stones shift underfoot, marking a deliberate yet wandering rhythm.
00:15:24 glo – kenóō
(from the album associated with experimental/ambient contexts, often standalone or mix-featured)
Empty temple halls stretch into dim distance, lit only by faint lanterns casting long shadows on wooden floors. Incense smoke curls lazily upward, dissolving into stillness, while subtle echoes of distant chimes linger in vast, open space.
00:21:22 Sachi Kobayashi – Healing
(from the album Weathervane)
Stereoscenic Records.
Gentle sunlight filters through a canopy of leaves in a quiet forest clearing, dappling the ground with moving patterns of gold. A soft wind stirs wild grasses and small white flowers, carrying a sense of calm restoration that spreads outward like slow-spreading warmth.
00:24:31 Amorphous Androgynous – Meadows
(from the album associated with their ambient/electronic works, often A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble series context)
Wide open fields stretch under a vast blue sky, dotted with clusters of wildflowers swaying in a warm breeze. Butterflies drift lazily between blooms, and distant tree lines shimmer in heat haze, evoking endless peaceful expanse.
00:27:42 the black Albumen – provokovieff
(from the album associated with Buried Treasure releases)
Buried Treasure.
Abstract geometric shapes float in deep black void, slowly rotating and intersecting with faint glowing edges in crimson and violet. Forms distort and reform like liquid metal, creating tension through precise yet unpredictable motion.
00:30:09 Pogo – Alice (Extended)
(from the album Broken Beats & Magic Snacks or extended rework context)
Vibrant cartoon woodlands come alive with swirling colors: oversized mushrooms glow in neon pinks and blues, teacups float mid-air, and checkerboard paths twist into impossible loops. Madcap elements whirl together in playful, accelerating chaos.
00:33:13 Emily A. Sprague – Horizon
(from the album Mount Vision)
RVNG Intl.
A flat, endless ocean meets a pale sky at dawn, with thin layers of pastel clouds drifting low. Subtle waves lap forward, reflecting soft rose and lavender tones that gradually brighten, holding a meditative line of infinite calm.
00:39:13 Scott Gilmore – Subtle Vertigo
(from the album Subtle Vertigo)
Spiraling staircases ascend into misty heights within an old tower, their steps worn smooth and bathed in diffused light from narrow windows. Shadows curve along curved walls, inducing a gentle, disorienting pull upward.
00:43:35 Cate Brooks – Curig
(from the album Horizons or related Ghost Box-inspired works)
Rolling Welsh hills under overcast skies, with ancient stone walls dividing emerald fields. Sheep graze quietly, and faint mist clings to distant ridges, evoking rural solitude and timeless pastoral quiet.
00:48:38 Tim Shiel – Between Ends (feat. Lonelyspeck)
(from the album Glowing Pains: Music From The Gardens Between)
Spirit Level
Twilight bridges connect shadowy urban fragments, suspended over dark water where city lights reflect in fractured lines. Echoing vocal fragments drift across the scene, marking a liminal space of transition and unresolved emotion.
00:50:09 Dean Honer, Supreme Vagabond Craftsman – I Saw The Frogman
(from the album Frogman)
A surreal pond at midnight, illuminated by moonlight: a humanoid figure with frog-like features emerges halfway from the water, wearing an old coat, staring curiously. Reeds sway around lily pads, blending whimsy with eerie folklore.
00:53:11 Hong Kong In The 60s – Disintegration, The Advisory Circle Reshape
(from the album Disintegration or reshape series)
Old film reels flicker with decaying 1960s Hong Kong street scenes: neon signs buzz and blur, crowds dissolve into grainy static, and colors bleed outward in slow analog decay, reshaped into haunting nostalgia.
00:56:08 Anita Tatlow – in hallowed spaces
(from the album the farthest star)
slow echo.
Sunlight streams through tall arched windows in an empty cathedral, illuminating dust motes dancing in golden beams. Stone pillars rise into shadow, and faint reverb carries the sense of sacred, resonant emptiness.
00:59:34 Lisa Bella Donna – Big Briar Cove
(from the album *Moogmentum (Presented by the Bob Moog Foundation)
*)
Thick briar thickets encircle a hidden cove along a rugged coastline, where tangled vines climb over weathered rocks. Waves roll in gently below, and wildflowers peek through thorns, creating a secluded, overgrown sanctuary.
Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 184
08 March 2026
Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
Welcome to Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, Episode 184, your virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. As per usual we’ll dive into 20 artists. All the shows have three word subtitles for places that have some meaning for me personally. These are also used as names for the background music in show intros and outros. This episodes’ subtitle is notes.seaweed.rashers and is the geolocation of a rather good Sushi joint in Bromma Stockholm, Takumi Ramen & Sushi, which serves Burrito sushi rolls. Anyway, These episodes drop about three times a week with no fixed schedule—just pure passion for independent music. So do follow the Mixcloud page and the socials to stay up to date. Picture yourself settling into a cozy nook overlooking a misty ocean, cassette player in hand, as we embark on this auditory journey. Kicking things off with Dune by Atabasca from the album of the same name, out on Killer Groove Records, released March 27, 2026.

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.
