Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here. Welcome to the new Virtual Cassette Library – music from all over the world, sparked by a single track that sets the tone for the set. This is a 60 minute virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark. If and when I get a couple more subscribers then I’ll go back to doing 90 minute versions, complete with commentary. This episode is based on the track “Tenebris” by friend of the channel Gareth Evans, also known as own as HDRF. Available on the upcoming compilation “The Mystery of the Night”. Dropping June 26 on my own Bandcamp page. There is still time for you to get your entries in. If you make music 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. And if you’re enjoying the channel, please consider subscribing — even if it’s just for a month, it makes a real difference. So settle in, turn it up a bit if you can, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it. No breaks, just the music.
Side A 00:00:00 Edward Givens – Somber Meditation A deeply introspective and solemn ambient piece with minimalist piano and subtle atmospheric layers. It creates a contemplative, almost sacred space for quiet reflection. 00:06:04 Talkdemonic – Two Weeks Cinematic ambient/post-rock from Kevin O’Connor. Driving yet melodic rhythms and evocative textures build a sense of emotional urgency and forward motion. 00:07:32 Ghostloop – Wired dialogue Minimal, melodic drone ambient with gentle, interconnected layers. It feels like a quiet conversation between electronic voices—intimate, thoughtful, and unfolding in real time. 00:11:37 Spheruleus – Olympus Days Warm, mythic ambient from The Lost Catalogue. Glowing drones and celestial textures evoke sunlit marble ruins and timeless, god-like serenity. 00:14:30 Silence & The Unwinking Minds – Conjure Textural, immersive ambient blending lush electronics with gritty, tape-saturated edges. A slow invocation that conjures unexpected beauty from tension and shadow. 00:17:45 36 – Symmetry Systems (Indigo) Elegant, crystalline ambient from Dennis Huddleston. Perfectly balanced harmonic layers in deep indigo hues create a sense of infinite symmetry and emotional clarity. 00:20:04 HDRF – Tenebris Dark, mysterious ambient exploring the enigma of night. Rich, shadowy drones and subtle nocturnal details draw you into the unknown. 00:23:43 Bahrambient, Retland, Kilometre Club – Cumulonimbus (Lauge Rework) Expansive, cloud-like ambient with soaring, stormy grandeur. Lauge’s rework adds depth and movement to these towering, atmospheric formations. Side B 00:26:48 OID – Rodn Intriguing, paradox-laden ambient with unique sonic character. Dense yet spacious, it rewards deep listening with hidden details and shifting perspectives. 00:34:50 Binaural Space – Artificial Storm Immersive, spatial ambient simulating a manufactured tempest. Binaural recording techniques place you inside swirling winds and electric tension. 00:37:15 Oberlin – (It Is A) Taboo Raw, underground ambient/electronic exploration. Bold and slightly transgressive textures push boundaries in a hypnotic, session-style recording. 00:46:51 Ed Herbers – Calculated Risk Cinematic, narrative-driven ambient with a sense of quiet peril. Tense yet beautiful layers evoke high-stakes decisions in unknown territory.
Virtual mixtapes for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists, two sets. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
“Evening all. Episode one-five-zero of the Virtual Cassette Library. Subtitled Nothing Them Myth. That’s the track you can 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. Ninety minutes, two sides, fifteen tracks each. Tonight you’ll hear Enofa, Mint Deluxe, and my own piece Isolated Elastic Ripples. Andrew Spackman, Akira Film Script on whitelabrecs, and Talkdemonic are in the mix. Later on, Harald Grosskopf, Polypores, and Please Close Your Eyes bring their worlds of ambient, kosmische, and experimental electronics. Labels orbiting here include Third Kind Records, Kahvi Collective, Ingrown, Imaginary North, and Projekt. On the B side: amble, Toxic Chicken, Rob Dobson, Sun Rain, and Moray Newlands. Genres drift from drone and ambient to leftfield folk textures and cosmic synth explorations. The eighth TVCL album is on Bandcamp for pre‑order—it drops when we hit sixteen tracks. Every comment, every like, every subscription keeps the frequencies flowing. So—headphones on, let time dissolve, and let the music claim you.”
