Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 212
Hypnotic and dreamlike, often sitting in liminal spaces.
Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to episode 212 of the Virtual Cassette Library. This is a 60 minute virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark.
This episode is based on the track “Tower of Butterflies” by Innis Chonnel & Loris S. Sarid from the album “Looking For Mount Sylvan” which dropped on the 10th of March via The 12th Isle label. Also a massive thank you to Driftworks, Lunar Module which is the CD imprint of Castles in Space, Audiobulb, Amulet of Tears, Trem 77, and Third Kind Records for sponsoring the episode with material.
This mix carries a moody, introspective, and slightly surreal nocturnal atmosphere. It moves through themes of isolation, transformation, thresholds, and fragile beauty. There’s a strong contrast between cold urban desolation and organic, fluttering delicacy — from concrete fields and body worms to towers of butterflies and sunlit solitude. The overall feeling is hypnotic and dreamlike, often sitting in liminal spaces (half-awake, melting forms, interrupted signals), with a subtle undercurrent of unease balanced by moments of quiet wonder and graceful movement.
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.
Side A
00:00:00 Ghostloop – Concrete fields
Bleak yet atmospheric ambient depicting empty urban sprawl. Grey, expansive drones and subtle industrial textures create a haunting sense of isolation in man-made wilderness.
00:04:30 The Green Kingdom – The Owls
Mysterious, nocturnal ambient with soft, watchful tones. Gentle rustling textures and warm synths evoke hidden eyes in the dark and the quiet wisdom of the night.
00:06:37 Camp of Wolves – Little Black Eyes
Intimate, shadowy ambient with a feral edge. Delicate yet unsettling layers suggest small, gleaming eyes watching from the undergrowth—curious and slightly menacing.
00:10:33 Saïph – Psyché du figurant (128)
Abstract, hypnotic ambient/electronic exploration. Minimal rhythms and fragmented textures probe the psyche of an anonymous background figure—detached and surreal.
00:13:10 Ida Urd & Ingri Høyland– Melting Cubes
Fluid, dissolving ambient with geometric forms gradually breaking down. Soft, melting tones and crystalline details create a beautiful, impermanent sonic sculpture.
00:15:24 Future Children – New mythology part 3
Speculative, glowing ambient weaving contemporary myths. Warm, hopeful layers and subtle narrative movement suggest emerging stories for a new generation.
00:22:18 The Black Dog – Sleep Deprivation 39: Threshold Ov Wakefulness
Disorienting, liminal ambient from the legendary duo. Pulsing, sleep-deprived textures sit on the fragile edge between dreams and reality—tense and immersive.
00:25:53 Phexioenesystems – Body Worm
Organic, microscopic body-horror-tinged ambient. Creeping textures and intimate biological sounds evoke parasites, transformation, and internal hidden worlds.
Side B
00:30:33 Neuro… No Neuro – Words On Branches
Delicate, branching ambient with organic-electronic hybridity. Gentle, tree-like structures and whispered fragments feel like thoughts growing naturally in a quiet forest.
00:34:46 Innis Chonnel & Loris S. Sarid– Tower of Butterflies
Light, fluttering ambient full of movement and grace. Swirling, kaleidoscopic layers build an elegant, fragile tower of color and motion.
00:39:28 Loris S. Sarid – One Million Streams (feat. Tony Morris)
Flowing, multi-layered ambient celebrating convergence. Rich, interwoven textures suggest countless individual streams merging into something vast and beautiful.
00:40:22 Teatre – Frostbite
Cold, crystalline ambient with a biting edge. Sharp yet beautiful frozen tones capture the painful beauty and isolation of extreme chill.
00:44:01 Trem 77 – Glister (Overland mix)
Shimmering, overland ambient with subtle rhythmic drive. Glistening textures and wide-open movement evoke traveling across sunlit or moonlit terrain.
00:46:49 Spectrical – Sunlit Solitude
Warm, radiant ambient focused on peaceful isolation. Golden, glowing drones and soft reflections create a comforting sense of being alone in bright, open space.
00:53:11 Sleep Chrysalis – Smoke Signal, Interupted
Hazy, fragile ambient with broken communication. Drifting smoke-like textures and gentle interruptions evoke messages fading into the distance.
