EXPANSIVE WAVES 20
3 December 2025
Good evening, or morning, or whatever fragment of time you’ve found yourself in. This is Expansive Waves, episode twenty. I’m Trevor—your host, your guide, your occasional sonic conspirator.
Tonight’s programme is not for the hurried. Eight pieces, each longer than twelve minutes, each more patient than the last. If you’re expecting choruses, drops, or anything resembling urgency, you may want to try another channel.
We begin, as always, not with a bang but with a murmur. The track you’re hearing underneath me is from my own unreleased album, TVCL 08. It’ll be out when it’s ready—sixteen tracks, no sooner. You can find it on Bandcamp under Trevlad, if you’re the curious sort.
So, settle in. Let the kettle boil. Let the cat sleep. Let the world spin without you for a while.
Right, we are starting off tonight with a deep dive into primitive droning territories, courtesy of Patrick R. Pärk. He is based in Denver, Colorado, and is clearly a devotee of the kosmische sound. This piece is ‘Music As An Awesome Healing Force,’ which appears on his album Luminous Rainbow Pulse, released on November 7. His sound covers Berlin School, electronic, experimental, drone, and krautrock.
Next up, we travel to Luxembourg for Maxence Dubroca & co, who is an experimental composer and arranger, and the frontman of Projet -> Renard) Ost) the company being Anita Franz & Simon Gris. The work we have here is ‘Counsel: A Roam Is Not Consequent,’ lifted from the Jump Badger Jump album, which saw release on July 16. This is wonderfully slow material, categorized as ambient drone, electroacoustic, minimal, and slowcore.
Marvelous. We move now to the UK, specifically Sheffield, for Hervé Perez. Hervé Perez is a sound artist, composer, and improviser, and his work is released via nexTTime production studios. This is a live recording, ‘nada 22, live stream 02 10 2024,’ released October 2, 2024, and takes up the largest part of the episode clocking in at 53:20. Hervés’ sound falls under electronic, electroacoustic, experimental electronic, improvisation, and new jazz. This is the sort of evocative work that uses disquiet and dissonance to open imaginary cinematic worlds.
We turn now to a journey from Jarguna, Odile Bruckert, and Henrik Meierkord. This is ‘Sleeping Among the Rice Fields,’ featured on their album Furrows of Memory. Projekt Records, which is America’s premier independent label specializing in passionately intense introspective music in the ambient, electronic, ethereal, and darkwave genres, released this piece on November 21. The work has a beautiful world, new age vibe. This is music that flows and takes you gently on a peaceful meditation.
Following that, we hear from SourceCodeX, a multi-instrumentalist specializing in synthesizers and guitar, working out of Washington, D.C.. This is ‘Clouds Parting Soon,’ which is part of the REBIRTH ~ 10TH ANNIVERSARY REMASTERED RELEASE, out on November 16. His sound covers ambient, electronic, progressive rock, and synth rock. SourceCodeX stated that listening to Steve Roach’s Structures from Silence is what turned him into an ambient artist. This is utterly splendid to my taste, described by others as an incredibly immersive experience and epic, mysterious, moving, and beautifully produced.
Next up, we have Ümlaut, with the piece ‘Pulling all the sky’. This track is featured on EX! Zine Edition 4 from Adventurous Music, released on November 24. Adventurous Music, based in Leipzig, Germany, is a non-profit micro-label promoting experimental music. Pulling all the sky provides a contemplative and trippy soundscape, it contains field recordings with bird song which I have a soft spot for.
We turn to Asheville, North Carolina, now for Spooqs. This is the complete ‘BIOMES (Full Suite)’, which came out on November 14. Spooqs calls his efforts Electronic Impressionist Instrumentals, creating mood music for imaginary spaces. As this is a full suite you’re are in for quite a trip.
And finally, to close out this installment of Expansive Waves, we have a beautiful, enveloping drone from a channel regular, Willebrant. This is Karl Willebrant, a bassist and producer from Naarm/Melbourne, Australia, running an ambient field drone project. This piece is called ‘A Knight on a Boat (slowed and reverb),’ from his collection The Knight Seas, which saw release on November 7. It is firmly placed in the ambient drone, electronic, and meditation categories. Fans describe the album as divine and providing real gentle ambience to lose yourself in.
🎧 Outro And now, as we approach the final piece, a few words before we vanish again. Thanks for sticking around. Really. These episodes aren’t designed for mass consumption, and neither are you. I’ll be back when the wind changes or the tape runs out—whichever comes first. No schedule, no promises. Waves, that’s all we have. If you liked what you heard, support the artists. Buy their music. Whisper their names into the void. It helps. You can stream this episode on Mixcloud at djsofabed/expansive-waves-20, and find all the links and credits on the episode page at trevor.se. Drop a comment if you feel moved. Or don’t. Silence is underrated. Until next time—stay resonant, stay expansive, and let the soundtrack of the universe find you. Take it away Willebrant.
