Welcome, sonic wanderers. You’ve arrived at Episode 143 of The Virtual Cassette Library. Plank Glides Enigma is the episodes subtitle, as well as the track you’re hearing in the background and its geographical location which I’ve filmed and can be experienced on YouTube. I’m Trevor and I curate these 90-minute genre bending drifts through frequencies from around the globe. No commentary. No interruptions. Just pure sonic immersion. Two, 45 minute mixes, 15 tracks per set with a side change half way. Imagine the listening experience like being at a music festival where the artists play on a rotating stage. Each act is allotted time for their piece and as it ends the next act takes over rotating into view. Styles for this episode range from beats to nature, from funk to new classical. The musical keys in focus are G sharp / A flat and F minor. In this episode we’re joined by some new friends of the channel like Sævar Jóhannsson and Red Stars Over Tokyo. As well as some familiar names like THE GAYE DEVICE, Mike Dickinson and Listening Center as well as supporting labels like Cyclical Dreams, Buried Treasure, Moolakii Club Audio Interface, Ingrown Records, Mahorka, Castles in Space and many more. All the artists and labels are the soul of this show.

Today’s episode includes two exclusive tracks from upcoming releases. On the A side the track The Fifth Compass Point Dub from the single The Fifth Compass Point by Bristol outfit Trem 77. Inspired by the concept of the fifth compass point. An idea beyond directional coordinates. Through the center point of the compass rose runs an axis that can be imagined as an array of transecting lines running through that point. More than a center point, it is an intersection that could include time running forward and backward in all directions away from the two dimensional compass plane. In this sense, it might be the truest symbol of the here and now. Is it the heart center, a jumping off point for experiencing all that there is, or both simultaneously? The B side features an upcoming release from the Italian composer and multi instrumentalist Bruno Bavota. Here with the track, when we collide, from the album, I’m losing you, which will be released on German label oscarson on September 19. The record showcases Bruno’s signature combination of acoustic piano and subtle electronics, now enriched with expressive string arrangements performed by violinist Laura Masotto. The album is a meditation on loss in its many forms — from absence and nostalgia to quiet acceptance. Through looping piano motifs, gently pulsing electronics, and emotionally resonant strings, I’m Losing You invites listeners into a vulnerable, immersive world of sound and feeling. With this release, Bavota further refines his neoclassical voice, offering a moving and cinematic work that speaks to both personal emotion and universal experience.
I won’t be commenting between the tracks. You can do that on the time line. Don’t be shy.
