Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 222
Beginning Future Empathy
Based on the track “Somewhere Right Now In The Future” from the album “Inferno” by “Boards of Canada”.
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 gentle, introspective, and emotionally nuanced ambient journey with touches of melancholy and warmth.
Side A moves from delicate, fragile beauty and shimmering guitar textures into dreamy Balearic atmospheres, dark cyclical tension, and quiet personal reflection. Side B shifts between urban solitude, sparse haunting moments, and organic warmth before landing on pastoral serenity and nostalgic analogue haze.
Overall mood: Melancholic yet comforting, dreamy, and subtly nostalgic. It feels intimate and emotionally honest — like late-afternoon light turning into twilight. Perfect for reflective listening, quiet evenings, or focused deep immersion.
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

00:38:04 Binaural Space – Where’s My Guitar
Playful, slightly eccentric electronic with warm analogue charm and light-hearted quirkiness.
00:38:43 Fabiano do Nascimento – Das Nuvens
Gentle Brazilian acoustic ambience with soft guitar and floating, cloud-like serenity. Warm and organic.
00:41:42 The Zenmenn – The Invisible Landscape
Lush, pastoral ambient with beautiful melodic layers and dreamlike tranquility. Timeless and soothing.
00:50:33 Adrian Lane – Repent At Leisure
Reflective, melancholic ambient with subtle emotional weight and elegant minimalism.
00:53:16 Felbm – Phi
Smooth, jazzy downtempo with warm percussion and breezy, golden-hour vibes. Relaxed and groovy.

“Greetings all. Episode one-five-four of the Virtual Cassette Library. Subtitled Decide Views Packages. That’s the track you hear underneath, and it’s also a location you can find on a map. I filmed it—it’s up on YouTube if you’re curious.
I’m Trevor, presenting ninety minutes, two virtual sides, fifteen tracks each. Tonight you’ll hear Ranga on Secuencias Temporales, Augen from Womblabel, and FernLodge via Unexplained Sounds Group. Mark Barrott with Norma Winstone and Leo Taylor bring a celestial touch, while Steve Hauschildt and Martin Stürtzer stretch into kosmische and deep ambient zones. On the B side, Dolphins of Venice on Mahorka, Ekoplekz, Portland Vows, and my own track Project Admire Spreads drift through the signal. Jah Wobble, Kid Spatula, and Pyramids of Phobos add echoes of spoken word, IDM, and hauntological soundscapes.
Labels orbiting here include Adventurous Music, Cyclical Dreams, Third Kind Records, Wormhole World, and Balmat. Styles range from ambient and deep techno to ritual electronics, kosmische, jazz-funk, and experimental sound art. These transmissions stretch across places—Mexico City, Lisbon, Leipzig, Glasgow, and Uppsala—woven into the resonance of the library.
