Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 325
Hello there, listeners. It’s me. Trevor.
You’ve pressed play on another Virtual Cassette Library. Twelve tracks. Two sides. A little plastic ghost that flips itself at the halfway mark, like a polite pancake.
If you make music, or you run a label, or you simply own a shed full of strange noises and would like them filed somewhere warm, send your links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I read every one. Promise. I read them with both eyes and, on special occasions, a third one.
The shows stay free for the first week, wandering about with their shoelaces undone. After that they slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have over eleven hundred other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes, which in my experience is usually Tuesdays, or during eclipses, or when the kettle boils. Subscribers also receive the expanding series of three-hour adventures titled Veil Frequencies, which is less a mixtape and more a long walk through a curtain that may be sentient.
Now. Each of these episodes is a two-part outing, just like the classic cassette. Unlike mixtapes or playlists, these two sides are curated as proper DJ sets, six tracks segued into one continuous mix, stitched together so carefully you can barely see the thread. Unless you look.
I hope you enjoy the adventure. Mind the flip.
A porch that has already sat down, then a future you already remind someone of.
Side A cools piano phrases on a veranda still holding salt in the grain, teaches a scrap giant to stay kind while made of girders, paints sand purple-black for as long as you are looking, lets a Finnish sentence glide away, shares rust and wave in a hallway with every door on the latch, and finds winter already standing behind the pane. Side B leaves offerings past the last familiar planet, walks false suns politely in their lanes, keeps the hands through a damp postcard, rings a suburban tram once at a stop that knows your name, continues the second investigation under five triangles, and remembers a future in three parts with sense set aside.
Overall mood: Contemplative, slightly seasonal, and quietly kind — full of unlatched corridors, damp postcards, and titles that have already arrived. Perfect for dusk listening, porches after the heat, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.
Mood mist: a porch that has already sat down, a giant made of scrap learning manners, sand painted purple-black, Finnish for something slipping softly off, corridors of rust and wave, a pane with the cold season standing behind it.
00:02:18 Jogging House – Veranda
https://jogginghouse.bandcamp.com/track/veranda

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 324

I hope you enjoy the adventure. Mind the flip.
A water lily at a threshold, then a seven that has already shifted south.
Side A opens the door on a nymphaea before the official date, shares fear, rage and love in under a minute, walks the warm marble of a city still standing in the name, lets the wind keep both hands in its pockets and still carry you, files roots under a clause, and blushes a 1970 library record with the flute still warm. Side B marries a rope to itself, lets undesignated buildings prefer to meet, studies a field still learning the season, treats the tuning as the piece, lets the night accept the fire, and turns seven toward the warmer wall.
Overall mood: Contemplative, slightly tender, and quietly architectural — full of thresholds, pencil blueprints, and gardens that leave the gate open. Perfect for dusk listening, fields still learning the season, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.
Mood mist: a water lily at a threshold, three feelings in under a minute, a city of marble still standing in the name, a wind that kept us, roots under a clause, a library record blushing in 1970.
00:02:18 (Exclusive) Corrado Saija and Elia Piana – Nymphaea II
https://driftworks.bandcamp.com/
Album: Limen. Label: Driftworks Full release – Friday 16th October

00:09:01 Still & JRNDM – EFESO
https://pablosanguinetti.bandcamp.com/track/efeso
Ephesus, the marble still warm in the name. A library of columns, and the groove walking between them.
00:11:56 Scholars of the Peak & Warmfield – The Way the Wind Held Us
https://warmfield.bandcamp.com/track/the-way-the-wind-held-us
Single: The Way the Wind Held Us.

00:15:05 Subordinate Clause – Cafraster
https://meansmag.bandcamp.com/track/cafraster
Album: MEANS 7: Grass Roots. Label: MEANS

Seventy, restored. Four Flies lifting the velvet and finding the flute still warm.
Mood mist: a rope married to itself, buildings that prefer to meet, a field still learning the season, a tuning that is the piece, a night glad of the flame, a seven that has already shifted south.
00:23:10 Nickolas Mohanna – Eye Splice
https://nickolasmohanna.bandcamp.com/track/eye-splice

00:48:46 Ótal – Tuning Study
https://thejewelgarden.bandcamp.com/track/tuning-study

The same garden, a few beds along. The piece is the tuning. The Jewel Garden letting the string find itself.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 314
Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.
Trevor here. You’ve pressed play on another Virtual Cassette Library. Twelve-track virtual cassettes that flips themselves at the halfway mark.
If you make music, or run a label, and fancy a place in the library, send your links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I read every one. Promise.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have over eleven hundred other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes. Subscribers also receive the expanding series of 3-hour adventures titled Veil Frequencies.
Now imagine each episode as a colossal rotating stage — a great mechanical blooming lotus. You, the audience only ever glimpse a sliver of it at a time. Every artist is allotted the exact time it takes them to perform their piece. Then they rotate out of view, and the next act glides in. The stage spins at whatever speed the track demands.
The names of the artists and labels I’ll mention before each set — or “side,” as the cassette alchemists call them. Six little incantations per set, plus a general mist of what mood to expect.
Now the stage begins to turn.
Roads that remember their own headlights, then loneliness painted in two colours that match the Earth.
Side A drives Mulholland in 1937 with the windows down, borrows names for unknown places the way lungs borrow air, lives in the comma of a virga that never lands, otherizes you into a pleasant hum, steps into a Toronto river that has already left for the lake, and works the grove after hours at the speed of sap.
Side B opens the other six petals: an altostratiform spirit message from Cloud School, Haku drawing a thin white line across Vespera, autumn filing unopened wishes so they can fall unnoticed, a serenade from a field that forgot its stars on purpose, a Brasstown Bridge baptism you did not schedule, and pale blue and white echoing until loneliness looks like a planet.
Overall mood: Contemplative, watery, and quietly migratory — full of Imaginary North hush, Passed Oceans dunkings, and weather that keeps the certificate. Perfect for dusk listening, dry shoes beside the river, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.
Mood mist: roads that remember their own headlights, places without maps, rain that never quite reaches the ground, a buzz turned into a stranger, water that refuses to be the same twice, a grove that works the field after hours.
00:04:20 Elijah Fox – Mulholland Drive 1937
https://elijahfox1.bandcamp.com/track/mulholland-drive-1937
From the album: Ambient Works for the Highways of Los Angeles. Year: 2025
Mulholland before the billboards learned to talk. 1937 still driving with the windows down, the city below not yet sure it is a city.

https://imaginarynorth.bandcamp.com/track/breathing-and-vibrant
From the album: Names of Unknown Places Label: Imaginary North. Year: 2026

From the compilation album: Lake Effect: Quiet Music From Toronto. Label: Imaginary North. Year: 2026
Heraclitus in Toronto. The river you stepped in has already left for the lake. Quiet music keeping its shoes dry.
00:18:37 Willebrant – Grove
https://willebrant.bandcamp.com/track/grove-4
From the album: Fieldworks. Year: 2025
Grove. Fieldworks filed under trees that do not clock off. The stage turns at the speed of sap.
The lotus folds. The other six petals open.
Mood mist: mid-level cloud sending post, dusk wearing a white mask, autumn keeping the unopened envelopes, a field that sings back, a bridge that dunks you anyway, loneliness painted in two colours that match the Earth.
00:24:14 Towering Vertical – Altostratiform Spirit Message

https://driftworks.bandcamp.com/track/pale-blue-and-white
From the album: Echoes of Loneliness. Label: Driftworks. Year: 2026
Loneliness echoing until it looks like a planet seen from too far away. Driftworks closing the spool before the color dries.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 311
Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.
Trevor here. You’ve pressed play on another Virtual Cassette Library. Twelve-track virtual cassettes that flips themselves at the halfway mark.
If you make music, or run a label, and fancy a place in the library, send your links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I read every one. Promise.
Tips and subscriptions keep the reels turning. Every little helps the library stay open after dark.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have over eleven hundred other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes. Subscribers receive the expanding series of 3-hour adventures titled Veil Frequencies.
Right then, my glittering cassette moths…
It’s time I had a quiet word with the universe about this Virtual Cassette Library lark of mine. Lately it’s been drifting off like a helium balloon made of old mixtape innards, floating away from the original bonfire of my intentions. I need to yank it back by its magnetic tape tail before it disappears into a cloud of forgotten B-sides.
I’ve just been bathing in the first episode of The Signal by Wall of Ambient — Harry Towell and James Osland swimming through the ambient oceans like two elegant seahorses in velvet capes. Go and drink it in on Substack. And while you’re there, follow me like a loyal moth to my flickering neon sign.
Anyway, Harry said something that pinged my third eye: concept is the beating heart of an album. And I suddenly realised that even though I pluck these tracks from their original conceptual wombs, my shows are actually stitched together with their own secret concepts. Lately I’ve been chattering between tracks like a magpie on a telephone wire and the concept has been leaking out like cheese from a toasted sandwich.
So what’s the concept, you ask, while adjusting your imaginary pipe?
Well, I’ve spent my entire working life lurking on and around stages like a quiet caretaker with glitter under his nails. I see each episode as a colossal rotating stage — a great mechanical blooming lotus. The audience only ever glimpses a sliver of it at a time. Every artist is allotted the exact time it takes them to perform their piece. Then they rotate out of view like a peacock into fog, and the next act glides in. The stage spins at whatever speed the track demands — slow and syrupy or frantic and glittering.
I still want to whisper the names of the artists, the albums and the labels, so I’ll do that before each set — or “side,” as we cassette alchemists call them. Six little incantations per side, plus a general mist of what mood to expect.
Now… shall we let the stage begin to turn?
So episode 311 is a weathered, slightly spectral ambient journey through closing dive bars, overlapping canopies, and monuments that have already begun to kneel.
Overall mood: Contemplative, analog, and quietly dilapidated — full of forgotten light, phase transitions, and sockets still whispering in the dark. Perfect for late listening, empty stages, or sitting with the ivy while it finishes the sentence.
Side A lets shadows clock off at the edge of the universe, waves from a missed railway cutting, shares a stereo canopy, opens a December jar six months late, weathers the ivy through human architecture, and climbs dilapidated monuments only to accept itself.
00:05:30 Kh3rtis – As Shadows Fall Away
https://kh3rtis.bandcamp.com/track/as-shadows-fall-away
A dive bar at the edge of the universe closing its curtains. Shadows clocking off. You are left holding the light they forgot to take.
00:10:28 Sunshine Playroom / Prozapine – The Ultimate
A MicroKorg dressed as 1974 television, waving from a railway cutting that only exists when you miss it.
00:12:06 Chihei Hatakeyama & Jupi/ter – Canopy
https://ambientologist.bandcamp.com/track/canopy
Two canopies overlapping until the stereo field forgets which tree belongs to which country. Peace wearing someone else’s coat.
00:19:04 Matt Lowery – 12-13-24
https://mattlowery.bandcamp.com/track/12-13-24
The thirteenth of December kept in a jar and opened six months later. Modular dust that still remembers the day it was captured.
00:20:20 The Microgram – Weathered
https://kaisekidigital.bandcamp.com/track/weathered
Human architecture kneeling so the ivy can finish the sentence. A facility learning how to weather.
00:24:05 Blank Embrace – Dilapidated Monuments
https://kaisekidigital.bandcamp.com/track/dilapidated-monuments
Dilapidated monuments on a tundra that ends in a mountain you climb only to accept yourself. The stage turns very slowly here.
Side B argues in black and white until a drop becomes a drum, leaves the singers behind in Midas plumbing, hands in exam music before the piece ends, leaks a green chorus through melted glass, takes on new Beagle waters, and coils after midnight on a Yamaha four-track.
00:33:21 Amotken – Gota
https://mahorka.bandcamp.com/track/gota
Black and white arguing inside a twenty-year-old Mexican machine. A drop of water deciding it is also a drum.
00:37:39 El Michels Affair – Anticipate (Instrumental)
https://elmichelsaffair.bandcamp.com/track/anticipate-instrumental
The singers have left the building. What remains is the Midas plumbing — brass, choir-shaped air, a saxophone ghost clocking in for overtime.
00:40:31 The Sound Catelouge – Phase Transitions
https://theastralrealms.bandcamp.com/track/phase-transitions
Exam music found inside a textbook sleeve. Phase transitions for students who must hand in their papers before the piece ends.
00:42:50 Phil Geraldi – Chorus in Green
https://chakrawhip.bandcamp.com/track/chorus-in-green
Alien country radio leaking through melted glass. A chorus in green that never quite reaches the hook.
00:45:35 Tim Stebbing – New Waters
https://cyclicaldreams.bandcamp.com/track/new-waters
HMS Beagle still taking on new water in 2026. Sequencers collecting specimens the Atlantic has not finished naming.
00:52:28 DOMOTIC – Serpenting
https://domotic.bandcamp.com/track/serpenting
*A Yamaha four-track recorded after midnight, coiling like fur that learned to hiss. Vintage sockets whispering to each other in the dark.
*

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 306
Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.
Trevor here. You’ve pressed play on another Virtual Cassette Library. Twelve-track virtual cassettes that flips themselves at the halfway mark.
If you make music, or run a label, and fancy a place in the library, send your links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I read every one. Promise.
Tips and subscriptions keep the reels turning. Every little helps the library stay open after dark.
A light, watery ambient journey through easy emergence, melting streams, and roads along the Downs.
Side A opens kepeä — light, easy — then moves through a Russian Standard retrospective, a stream that melts sideways, a Brainforest sanctuary dedicated to Violet, Lola skipping stones, and West Yorkshire crypt-light luminaire. Side B returns 2018 intrigue among workers and superiors, lets petals land softly on water, surges through a third ocean current, begins the Marienbad story again, and travels the Downs in Ravilious colour.
Overall mood: Contemplative, fluid, and quietly elegant — full of Passed Oceans, acoustic closeness, and elliptical cinema. Perfect for dusk listening, train windows, or sitting still while the stones keep hopping the surface.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have over eleven hundred other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes. Subscribers receive the expanding series of 3-hour adventures titled Veil Frequencies. They also get the ever-growing advance version of the forthcoming compilation Quiet Figures.

00:20:38 The Gaye Device – Luminaire
Ending side A and a champion of the channel mr. Andrew Howden, better known as The Gaye Device. I wanted to say this was an exclusive for my upcoming compilation Quiet Figures but research shows Andrew released it back in 2023 on his wonderful album “The Fallen Leaf” together with Ellen Southern. West Yorkshire reflective electronics. Jenny Lyon photography. Site singing and crypt acoustics sit inside the mix.
After that the cassette reaches its midpoint and flips.
00:24:20 Dadanaut – Morphinist
Opening side B. from the album Kabale. Dadanaut with “Morphinist”. Metropolis and Kästner’s School of the Dictators. A struggle for freedom and relief. 2018 intrigue returns.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 299
www.mixcloud.com/djsofabed/tvcl-299/
Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.
Trevor here. You’ve pressed play on another fragile spool of the Virtual Cassette Library. Twelve-track virtual cassettes that flips themselves at the halfway mark.
If you make music, or run a label, and fancy a place in the library, send your links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I read every one. Promise.
Tips and subscriptions keep the reels turning. Every little helps the library stay open after dark.
A tender, slightly grieving ambient journey through vanished names, still ponds, and conversations that continue after the person is gone.
Side A opens in collage-and-destroy rooms, then yearns through silent ways, burning homes written after a passing, an orange offered from a train window, stars over a city pond, and a mourning routine kept warm by analogue hands. Side B arrives with supermassive wasps and Neptune’s thirst, then integrates toward stillness, sits dans le noir, still talks about you in Padova cassette light, and ends in blue laundry-line wind.
Overall mood: Contemplative, intimate, and quietly elegiac — full of residual warmth, small awakenings, and light that keeps talking after the leaf has not yet fallen. Perfect for dusk listening, remembrance, or sitting still with what remains.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have over eleven hundred other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes. Subscribers receive the expanding series of 3-hour adventures titled Veil Frequencies. They also get the ever-growing advance version of the forthcoming compilation Quiet Figures.

Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.
Trevor here. You’ve pressed play on another fragile spool of the Virtual Cassette Library. Twelve-track virtual cassettes that flips themselves at the halfway mark.
If you make music, or run a label, and fancy a place in the library, send your links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I read every one. Promise.
Tips and subscriptions keep the reels turning. Every little helps the library stay open after dark.
A warm, slightly hauntological ambient journey through memory pools, lost-and-found melodies, and parallel realities.
Side A gathers shared sonic connections, 1974 household radiophonics, midnight Frankfurt tones, recovered places, Lancashire ease, and ballad-inspired ambient forms. Side B drifts through emotional anchors, nostalgic Japanese colour, Quiet Figures still gathering, serpents in daylight, elemental wooded harmony, and ends walking the fictional lanes of Belbury.
Overall mood: Contemplative, nostalgic, and gently communal — full of recovered light, quiet personal colour, and soft village atmosphere. Perfect for deep listening, late evenings, or sitting with the ordinary as it quietly transforms.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have over eleven hundred other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes.

Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.

Subscribers receive the expanding series of 3-hour adventures titled Veil Frequencies. They also get the ever-growing advance version of the forthcoming compilation Quiet Figures.
A reflective, slightly melancholic ambient journey through vanishing places, last forests, and hovering resonances.
Side A opens in dense brainforests and soft sanctuaries, then blooms through disk errors, chosen confusion, Tokyo pavilions, and tired roads halfway from nowhere. Side B drifts into possible villages, orbital last forests, electric roads of trials, chalk coastal paths, invisible hovering worlds, and ends in the hazed industrial interzone of Motor City.
Overall mood: Contemplative, atmospheric, and quietly expansive — full of soft disappearances, preserved light, and gentle forward motion. Perfect for deep listening, late-night reflection, or drifting through imagined landscapes.
The tape unspools its visions.
Woodwind and spidery guitars open a dense forest of homemade percussion. Polypores – Seeing Absolutely Everything, Then Never Seeing It Again. Tenor recorder, piano, drums and kalimba rise into insectile textures and weaving repetitive melodies. The Brainforest expands in childlike layered motion, every surface alive with loose and slack exploration.
Sanctuary forms in swirling so-longs and dreamy murmured goodbyes. Halftribe – Sanctuary. Immersive tones drift through quiet open space, the field settling into soft reflective presence.
A disk error blooms into luminous data patterns. maps and diagrams – bloom.Solr- X a.41 [disk.err]. Signal fragments rearrange across open digital ground, each one expanding into new radiant forms.
Confusion gathers around a chosen image. Suncastle – Confusion. Sonic colours rise to meet the visual surface, opening into shared imaginative light.
A pavilion stands inside the sleeping Cityfield of Tokyo. Ryu Oshi – Denizen 3 — Pavilion. Offerings of orange light drift from a moving train window. Kami presence expands through electric piano and synthesizer duets, the urban subconscious glowing in mutual respect.
Tired tires roll across an unknown road of blurred memories. Far away Nebraska – And so it begins…. Ringing fills the open air while a storm moves through the mind. Halfway from nowhere the landscape stretches forward in steady motion.
The cassette reaches its midpoint and turns.
A village appears in quiet mirror light where realities fade into new truths. Nahal Kavand – The village where I might have lived one day. Field recordings from Tehran rise through heavy processing into thin layered soundscapes. Disappearances and vanishings open across the surface, time echoing deep within existence.
The last forests of Earth drift through silent orbital chambers. vOLKER rAPP – The last forests of Earth. ARP 2600 and SEM tones expand across vast greenhouse domes. The landscape holds the soft glow of preserved green light moving through space.
A road of trials opens in electric layered motion. Whettman Chelmets – Road of Trials (Electric Mix). Shoegaze ambient textures rise into wide reflective fields, the path expanding in luminous presence.
Beachy Head rises along the foot of the Downs under muted Ravilious colours. Gilroy Mere – Beachy Head. Train windows carry undulating textures, tempos and modulations. Clarinet, trumpet, flute and voice drift through chalk paths and coastal light, crystallizing into open sonic form.
Hovering resonance maps an invisible world drawn in wind and granular synthesis. Philippe Deschamps, The Goodnight Project – The Hovering Resonance. Organic drones and drifting textures expand across distant melodies, opening the boundaries of the ephemeral.
Motor City opens in dusty drum machinery and heavy echo. Sand Circles – Entering Motor City. Analog synths and derelict metropolis atmospheres rise through white sand, downtown haze and distant lights. The interzone expands in hazed industrial reverie.

Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.
Trevor here. You’ve just pressed play on another fragile spool of the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 277. A twelve-track virtual cassette that flips itself at the halfway mark, whether you’re ready or not.
If you make music, or run a label, and fancy a place in the library, send your links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I read every one. Promise.
Tips and subscriptions keep the reels turning. Every little helps the library stay open after dark.
I’m trying something new by not introducing the artists, but instead incorporation their work into an incatation of sorts.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have 1,104 other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes. Subscribers receive the expanding series of 3 hour adventures titled Veil Frequencies. They also get the ever-growing advance version of the forthcoming compilation Quiet Figures.
A dreamlike, luminous ambient journey through nameless cities, rising rain, forgotten trails, and golden light.
Side A drifts from violet fog and modular labyrinths into voltage nests, Apalachee trails, hauntological villages, deep indigo night, and lost map coordinates. Side B lifts with rain falling upward, vast interlocking machines, Bach-coloured bird calls, sideways golden rays, wide unknowable valleys, and a single golden earring turning in zero gravity.
Overall mood: Contemplative, otherworldly, and quietly radiant — full of soft wonder, spectral warmth, and gentle expansion. Perfect for deep listening, late-night immersion, or drifting through imagined landscapes.
Side A
00:00:00 Almost Random – Night at the Nameless city
A city without name rises from violet fog. Docks of Celephais stretch into endless water the colour of old mercury. Towers lean at angles that fold inward. Almost Random – Night at the Nameless City. Modular currents braid through the streets. A single lead voice climbs like a pale recorder note, threading the labyrinth where colours bloom outside the spectrum and a lecturer’s silhouette watches from every window at once.
00:05:07 LOULA YORKE – Broody
The roof opens. A nest of voltage and feathers pulses with heat. LOULA YORKE – Broody. Shared-system circuits glow amber and emerald. Nestlings open their beaks in perfect rhythm with the rising sequences. The air fills with starling-shaped waveforms that scatter across the studio ceiling and reform as constellations.
00:07:57 Dionisaf – Forgotten Trails of the Apalachee (ft. Liesbet Leroy)
Cotton fields unroll under a sky of molten copper. An ageing horse moves through tall grass that whispers in kalimba tones. Dionisaf – Forgotten Trails of the Apalachee. Liesbet’s flute drifts above the restored guitar like river mist carrying the scent of magnolias and dry October leaves. Forest trails glow with soft bioluminescence. Seven years of Mississippi light gather into a single warm horizon that keeps expanding.
00:10:03 Belbury Poly – The People
A village appears between the hedges, built entirely of library jingles and children’s television ghosts. Belbury Poly – The People. Minimoog laughter curls through the lanes. Melodica and psaltery ring from open windows. Vines part to reveal Pan’s Garden where the InterCity 125 glides past in slow silver arcs and every face in the square turns toward the listener with the same knowing smile.
00:13:34 Euan Alexander Millar & Henrik Meierkord – Shades Of Night
Night gathers in layers of deep indigo and charcoal. Euan Alexander Millar & Henrik Meierkord – Shades Of Night. Cello tones stretch into long translucent ribbons. Spoken words rise from within the drones and dissolve back into them. The entire field breathes at the pace of a single sustained note.
00:17:19 maps and diagrams – Echo.atlas-B2 [lost.wav]
A map unfolds made of missing coordinates. maps and diagrams – Echo.atlas-B2 [lost.wav]. Waves of pure signal drift across blank paper, leaving faint luminous traces that rearrange themselves into new continents every few seconds.
Side B
00:23:01 Spirituals – Rain Falling Up
Rain lifts from the ground in slow silver columns and continues upward into a sky the colour of candle flame. Spirituals – Rain Falling Up. Pedal steel and vibraphone form soft glowing orbs that float beside the rising water. Field recordings and voice memos drift through the air as tiny points of warm light, each one a living candle carried through the open dark.
00:27:18 Dadanaut – Interferenzen
Gears the size of towers interlock across a black-and-gold cityscape. Dadanaut – Interferenzen. Workers and superiors move inside the same vast machine. Sparks of freedom leap between the teeth of the wheels. The entire structure hums with the low frequency of relief seeking its shape.
00:32:09 Pointe du Lac – Herr Gott, nun schleuß den Himmel auf (BWV617)
An empty living room fills with the calls of exotic birds that exist only as samples. Pointe du Lac – Herr Gott, nun schleuß den Himmel auf (BWV617). Simple arpeggios cross and shift like interlocking stained-glass windows. Bach harmonies rise through Sun Ra colours. The ceiling opens into a progressive lake of pure harmonic light.
00:35:04 Timo Kuusi – Crepuscular Rays
Crepuscular rays pour sideways across the room in thick golden beams. Timo Kuusi – Crepuscular Rays. Each ray carries its own instructional geometry. The beams expand until the whole space becomes a single radiant exercise in pure illumination.
00:42:39 The Green Kingdom – Vale of the Unknowable
Evening settles in airy layers of soft violet and pearl. The Green Kingdom – Vale of the Unknowable. Piano motifs drift through reverb-soaked guitar lines. The landscape opens into a wide still valley where every sound has room to unfold at its own unhurried pace.
00:44:52 Guest Bartender Deborah Toyota – Golden Earring
A golden earring turns slowly in zero gravity, catching and releasing light in perfect circles. Guest Bartender Deborah Toyota – Golden Earring. The sound arrives as the first sensation of hearing itself: tender, experimental, shaped for the earliest possible listener. Everything remains open, unguarded, and newly born.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 258
Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Apologies for the sound quality today. I’m on holidays and find it hard to hard to get a spot quiet enough to record. Anyway…
Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 258. A 12 track virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark.
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.
Please leave a tip and subscribe to the Mixcloud channel every little helps.
A quirky, colourful, and atmospheric ambient journey through vintage whimsy, seasonal introspection, and urban environments.
Side A moves from posh timepieces and color seas into winter frost, fluid transference, cloud gazing, and returning light. Side B shifts through modular habitats, Trieste streets, secure institutions, and cinematic projections.
Overall mood: Playful yet contemplative, warm, and slightly uncanny with a mix of nostalgia and modern reflection. Perfect for adventurous listening or relaxed evenings.
I’ve gone back to doing more podcast like episodes but I’ll do all the talking now in the intro as I put a lot of love into making seamless segued mixes. There is just one break halfway through to give the “virtual cassette” meaning. The shows are free for the first week and then go to my too few subscribers who get to enjoy the 258 episodes plus the 820 other shows whenever they like all for the price of… I actually don’t know what you can buy for €3 anymore. It used to be a coffee.
Episode 258 is based on the track “Habitat 67” by my friends “The Twelve Hour Foundation” from the release “Expanded & Repurposed” coming out on their Bandcamp on July 27th.
On this episode you’ll be aurally pleasured by Queens, New York based Chris Moore aka Light Vortex with the sound art track “Awash In A Sea Of Color” from the album “Aurora In Georgian Bay” out on Mortality Tables.
My friend of the channel Matthew Davies aka Vic Mars with the Chilled piece we all need right now “Winter II” from his collection of must have tracks “From Different Landscapes”.
A beat driven piece by Paris, France based Stephane Laporte aka Domotic from his amazing 36 track album which I’ve been playing a lot recently “Fourrure Sounds Vol. 3 to 6” out on Virtual Cassette supporting label Astra Solaria Recordings.
Then Canadian artist Grant Gard, who records as landtitles with the clarinet infused track “staring at the clouds” from the album “geographic beings, phosphorus mountains” out on whitelabrecs.
After that Tucson, Arizona based Kirk Markarian aka Neuro… No Neuro with the ambient swelling track “You Wasted Your Time” from the album “MemLoss” out on the Sheffield based Audiobulb label.
Then from the latest Cyclical Dreams label release comes the wonderfully stereo panned piece “The Light That Returns” by Adam Filip from the album “The Returning Circle”.
Ending the A side is Michael Plaster aka yttriphie with the Boards of Canada tinged “A Narrow Field of View” from the album “Solipsis” out on Projekt Records.
Starting off Side B is the inspiration for this episode and one of those bands that are instantly recognisable and just a good mood pill in general. They are of course Polly Hulse and Jez Butler collectively known as The Twelve Hour Foundation. With a track from their latest release “Expanded & Repurposed” with the track “Habitat 67” featuring the brilliant Alan Gubby of Buried Treasure / Revbjelde fame adding vibraphone to this classic.
This flows into Brutalist architecture inspired “Rozzol Melara [Triest]” by Fredy Engel aka MiDi BiTCH from another Cyclical Dreams release titled “Habitat”.
Then the penultimate piece for today comes in the form of another favourite artist from the past few years Cate Francesca Brooks and the hypnotic piece “Secure Environments Ltd” from the album “For Your Security”.
And finishing us off is the 18 minute 25 second piece “Untitled 1 [a,b,c,d,e]” by The Projectionist from the rather special label The Dream Journal Institute whose artists don’t seem to actually exist yet they are not AI. This track would have ended up on an episode of Expansive Waves but I’m not doing them any more as they just aren’t worth it. Too much time equals too few listeners.
But setting the vibe for all of this is Portsmouth based legend Keith Seatman with his track “A Posh Hat and Timepiece” from the album “Counting To Ten Then Back Again” out on Castles In Space.
So settle in, turn it up a bit, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it.

EXPANSIVE WAVES 26
Good evening… or morning… or whatever smeared fragment of clock time you’ve drifted into tonight. This is EXPANSIVE WAVES 26. I’m Trevor — your host, your unreliable cartographer of the long haul, your occasional sonic conspirator.
This one’s not built for the impatient. Eight pieces. Each one stretching beyond twelve minutes. Together they uncoil for over three hours. If you came looking for hooks, drops, or anything that resembles forward motion, best to paddle elsewhere. Or just dim the lights, let the room breathe, and allow the ceiling to become a slow-moving planetarium. That works too.
Big thanks to Ivo Petrov at the Mahorka label for nudging me into a Plank Tone. I got gloriously lost and ended up delivering four. The first surfaced on April 8th. Tonight you’ll hear more of those strange, unhurried faces — independent corners, leftfield wanderers, music that refuses to be hurried.
We open with a twenty-four-minute soup. For anyone who’s ever been in a band, this is that glorious end-of-session moment when everyone’s a little fried and the music starts melting at the edges.
Merlin’s Spell — Merlin’s Spell [Full Demo]
A warm, hazy collective trance where sounds blur into one another like ink dropped in still water. Recorded back in 1978, gently refurbished for 2026. Out on The Dream Journal Institute — every penny heading to local libraries and quiet good causes.
That was Merlin’s Spell with Merlin’s Spell. Settle in now. Let the kettle do its slow work. Let the cat claim your chest like a small, purring dictator. Let the outside world keep spinning without you for a while.
Next, a dear friend of the show: Drew Huddart, recording as Scholars of the Peak. Fresh from a live set at Dubrek in Derby — the whole concert, audience whoops and all, because Drew decided not to chop it into polite pieces. Glorious nostalgic synths that feel like warm Sunday light through old lace curtains in the Peak District.
Scholars of the Peak — Live @ Dubrek Studios, Friday 10th April 2026
Bleeps and warm analogue sighs drifting through a room full of gentle human noise — the kind of set that makes you nostalgic for the future.
Now we arrive at the longest single piece I’ve ever slipped into this programme — a full hour, trimmed by a few cheeky seconds just so the software would swallow it. This is serious business.
OdNu + Ümlaut — Metamorphoses
An ever-shifting ambient landscape that never settles, never repeats, never lets you look away. Not lazy drift — this is meticulous, constantly breathing evolution. Out on Audiobulb, arriving June 6th. Prepare to be quietly astonished.
An old favourite now — the Russian master x.y.r. who can drop you straight into deep jungle with nothing more than a few well-placed field recordings and patient tones.
x.y.r. — altered zone (longform edition)
Birdsong threading through endless green layers, turning any room into a porch overlooking humid canopy at dusk. Tip for fellow travellers: when in doubt, add birds. They open windows that weren’t there before.
Back into the Mahorka family, 2019 vintage.
Thomas Park — Failsafe
Blade Runner rain on a corrugated tin roof, random synth trumpet stabs cutting through toxic haze. Neon signs flickering in puddles that never quite dry.
Still in the Mahorka stable, this time 2014.
Ab uno — Remorae (b side)
Deep drone waters where subtle synth lines move like slow silver fish just beneath the surface — barely visible, yet impossible to ignore once you notice them.
Penultimate unfolding, from The Jewel Garden label’s compilation.
Floating House Ensemble — Seven
Sax and strings delicately sprinkled over choral swells, like light catching on the edge of a slow-moving tide. As the Bandcamp page quietly reminds us: “I stood there, the whole day wrapped around me. I stood there, crying, smelling vine.”
And so the waves begin their gentle retreat for another evening. Eight long forms. Eight patient unfoldings. If any of them settled into the quieter corners of your night, you’ll find the links and love on the episode page at trevor.se and in the Mixcloud comments.
Feel free to leave something on the timeline — a half-thought, a soft sigh, or even a single emoji that somehow contains the entire universe.
We close episode twenty-six with Michael Plaster, recording as yttriphie.
yttriphie — Paddock of Skies
Twinkling space music from the album Solipsis on Projekt Records — delicate starlight that slowly swells until the whole sky feels like it’s breathing with you.
Until the next fragment of drifting time pulls us back into the same warm current… this is Trevor, signing off from EXPANSIVE WAVES 26.
Cheerio…

EXPANSIVE WAVES 25
26 March 2026
Good evening… or morning… or whatever fragment of time you’ve found yourself floating in. This is Expansive Waves, episode twenty-five. I’m Trevor—your host, your guide, your occasional sonic conspirator.
This programme is not for the hurried. Eight pieces. Each longer than twelve minutes. Most stretching far beyond that. Each more patient than the last. If you’re expecting choruses, drops, or anything resembling urgency… you may want to try another channel. Or just turn the volume down and stare at the ceiling. That works too.
Massive shout out to Iso Brown on Mixcloud, who spotlighted the show and sent a fresh wave of new followers crashing in. Welcome, newcomers. I usually mention new followers but out of the 200 new followers I’m guessing that maybe one or two will like or comment, but if you do I will mention you and your channel in the next episode. I hope you enjoy the many strange faces of these outings—independent artists, leftfield corners, music that refuses to be in a rush.
We begin with what has been described as the album of the year so far.
Deep Earth Network – Land 2
https://richardnorris.bandcamp.com/track/land-2
Ancient soil breathing through cracked speakers while forgotten BBC voices whisper about ley lines and the first gods who were mostly moss.
So settle in. Let the kettle boil. Let the cat sleep on your chest like a small, warm dictator. Let the world spin without you for a while.
That was Land 2 by Deep Earth Network from the EP Land out on the Republic of Music label.
JSF – Time And Space, Compressed
https://theastralrealms.bandcamp.com/track/time-and-space-compressed
Your childhood bedroom at 3 a.m. stretched until the walls become nebulae and the glow-in-the-dark stars remember they were once real suns.
That was Time And Space, Compressed by JSF from the album Astral Airways out on The Dream Journal Institute
Gareth Evans aka HDRF – Flowergate Coda – a glimpse into HDRFs live set at Switched On 2025 in Whitby last November.
https://hdrf.bandcamp.com/track/flowergate-coda
A single flower made of stained glass slowly melting back into rain on the roof of an abandoned Victorian greenhouse.
That was Flowergate Coda by HDRF from the self released album H25L. Do grab this release yours truly feature on the first couple of tracks.
*Zyggurat is Pete Grimshaw’s experimental jazz project – Out of Darkness into Light
https://old-technology.bandcamp.com/
Release date 10th of April
Climbing the last step of a black marble staircase that ends in blinding white dawn, barefoot, with no memory of how many centuries you just walked.
That was Out of Darkness into Light by Zyggurat from the album Sphere to Sphere dropping April 10th on the Old Technology label.
Correlations – 3300 WELLSPRING TAPE PHASER REF
https://correlations1.bandcamp.com/track/3300-wellspring-tape-phaser-ref
Every cassette you ever owned playing at once inside a warm metal well, tape hiss turning into soft spring water that tastes faintly of solder and nostalgia.
That was 3300 WELLSPRING TAPE PHASER REF by Correlations a self released track.
Michael Brückner – A Sequence of Colours – Parts 8
https://cyclicaldreams.bandcamp.com/track/a-sequence-of-colours-parts-8-10
Walking through a cathedral built entirely from slowly shifting stained-glass emotions—indigo guilt becoming emerald forgiveness becoming gold that has no name.
That was A Sequence of Colours – Parts 8 by Michael Brückner from the album A Sequence of Colours out on Cyclical Dreams
Projet -> Renard) Ost) – Avulsing Prometheus
https://maxencedubroca.bandcamp.com/track/avulsing-prometheus
The titan chained to the mountain suddenly realizing the eagle is just a very committed performance artist and the liver is optional.
That was Avulsing Prometheus by Projet -> Renard) Ost) who are Maxence Dubroca, Anita Franz & Simon Gris. This was from the album Jump Badger Jump.
And so the waves recede for another evening. Eight long forms. Eight patient unfoldings. If any of these pieces resonated in the quiet corners, you’ll find links to the artists and albums on the episode page at trevor.se and in the Mixcloud comments.
Feel free to leave a thought on the Mixcloud timeline. A sentence. A sigh. A single emoji that somehow says everything.
Until the next fragment of time pulls us back together… this is Trevor, signing off from Expansive Waves, episode twenty-five.
We end with 46 minutes from
DaFou – Time passing by, from the album Berlin Transit also out on Cyclical Dreams
https://cyclicaldreams.bandcamp.com/track/time-passing-by
Standing on a moving Berlin sidewalk at 4 a.m. while every second of your life files past like friendly ghosts waving from trams that never quite stop.
Cheerio…

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 185
16 March 2026
(Omnipollos Hatt)
Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
Welcome to Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, Episode 185, your virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. As per usual we’ll dive into 20 artists. All the shows have three word subtitles for places that have some meaning for me personally. These are also used as names for the background music in show intros and outros. This episodes’ subtitle is
If you’d like to be featured on the slowest growing show on the internet then send files or codes to trevlad@gmail.com
This episode has a bunch of artists from releases on the driftworks and whitelabrecs compilations ‘This Burnished Land’ and ‘An Ambient Decade’. Also a couple of tracks from the wonderful Passed Recordings label who were nice enough to write a Substack post about me.
There has been a break in the Virtual Cassette Library series. The last one was a whole week ago since then I’ve been busy working on the Chord Confessions series. And please do send in your stories about a piece of music that has been pivotal in your life. You can record it yourself or I can tell it for you while promoting you and playing the most important music on the planet. A win, win, win concept. I’ve also done a couple of Krautrock inspired sets and a couple of Female artist sets celebrating International women’s day. AND, I’ve started a new idea of mixing story telling with DJ sets where I do a story based on the tracks in the set. All these while doing 5 part time jobs.
A shout out to my one new follower this week ‘Citizens of Sound’ who are a dynamic podcast production agency that brings shows to life with gravity, handling everything from conception and branding to editing, mastering, management, and distribution for creators seeking impactful audio storytelling. They also seem to be involved with live events too. Great stuff…
We start with a couple of friends of the show who I believe made contact after appearing on the same compilation I released last December ‘Resonances from the Depths’ This is the New South Wales / Vancouver collaboration CommsBreakdown + Socool – My Brain Feels So Good (CommsBreakdown Mix)
filtered guitar flickers like neon through rain-smeared windows, bass hugs the ribs, oh the snare snaps dopamine straight into the bloodstream, feet move before the mind catches up, so good so good so good…
That was My Brain Feels So Good by CommsBreakdown together with Socool
And now whitelabrecs label curator Harry Towell – The Arrival from the album Infinite Light.
horizon line shimmer gold, birdcalls echo on porch wall, lungs fill with warm arrival, everything settling into place like dust finally deciding to land
That was Harry Towell with The Arrival. Now from a label who’s been growing to new heights daily Passed Recordings. Here is one of their more beat oriented artists.
Unruly Disturbance – Winter Chorus (from The Ghost of Christmas Passed)
icicle voices overlap in the chimney throat, old tinsel ghosts harmonize with wind through cracked panes, memory frost blooming on the inside of eyelids, shivering carols no one saw.
That was Manchester based artist Unruly Disturbance with Winter Chorus.
Now from winter vibes direct to California beaches and funky indie pop joviality with Ginger Root – Neighbor from the album City Slicker
elevator soul hums through thin walls, city lights smear like lipstick on glass, who’s next door living my alternate Tuesdays, smooth keys slide under skin, pretending not to notice the shared vibes.
That was Ginger Root with Neighbor. Next a good mate of the channel
Asha Patera – The Light From Within from the album Ocean Compilation 2 out on the extremely prolific label Sounds for the Soul Records. A great label to get a track on if you want to get noticed.
golden thread unspools behind the sternum, breath catches on warm filament, everything inside glowing quiet, no edges, just soft radiance pooling where shadows used to sit
That was Asha Patera with The Light From Within. Asha will also appear on my upcoming compilation Puzzles of the Psyche. There are still a few day left to send in a piece.
Now Lingua Lustra – Cloudsong from the album Essence from 2017 and recently released on a compilation featuring Lingua Lustras most notable tracks.
drifting white shapes swallow the sky, tones float weightless like exhaled thoughts, higher, softer, dissolving into pale blue nothing, I am only vapor now
That was Lingua Lustra with Cloudsong
Next up a couple of artists I’ve played a few times on the channel get together here. Dogs Versus Shadows & Nicholas Langley – ‘Slapdash And Bouldered’ from the album 16mm out on Spanish label Strategic Tape Reserve. The shortest track of the show.
wonky tape warble stumbles over mossy rocks, slap echo bounces erratic, head full of loose marbles rolling downhill, laughter distorted through pine needles, gloriously off-kilter
That was Dogs Versus Shadows & Nicholas Langley with ‘Slapdash And Bouldered’.
Now a balearic vibe and some more birds Sweatson Klank – Ultra Marine from the album Aureolin Winter compilation out on Los Angeles, California’s Friends Of Friends label.
deep cyan pulse underwater cathedral, synth tendrils curl like bioluminescent kelp, body suspended, heart knocking slow against infinite blue pressure, beautiful drowning.
That was Sweatson Klank with Ultra Marine.
Next staying with the birds. I do miss my old mix show For The Birds where all the tracks featured birds. One beautiful day when some more of you subscribe I’ll bring it back. Anyway here’s another collaboration. This time Graham Seaman, Mosaicist and Noctilusense – Pastures Green from the album This Burnished Land available through the Driftworks label.
emerald blades bend under invisible feet, distant bell tone ripples through dew, mind wanders fence lines that aren’t there anymore, green green greener until the color swallows itself.
That was Graham Seaman, Mosaicist and Noctilusense with Pastures Green
Now Michael Grigoni – Nod from that fantastic whitelabrecs compilation ‘An Ambient Decade’
slow eyelid curtain falls, world softens to charcoal smudge, breath syncs with low tide hum, nodding deeper into velvet dark, yes, yes, keep going.
Next, to end the A side, we stay with whitelabrecs and An Ambient Decade. This is Mosaicist, Simon Hall, Neil McRoberts, Percolator and Marjorie Dawson with Jack from (au·tay·uh·row·uh) Aotearoa – Waiting For Rain.
dry earth cracks whisper upward, sky heavy with unshed silver, fingers trace dust on windowsill, clouds gather like forgotten promises, any second now the first drop.
B Side –
We open Side B with yet another collaboration. This time Israeli artists Nitai Hershkovits & Daniel Dor – Elsewhere – Found & Found. This is one of only two tracks available to listen to on the pre-order of the album which will be released on April 24. ‘Found & Found’ is their second outing together. Back in 2024 they released one of my favourite albums of that year ‘The Garden Suite’. What we hear here is promising.
piano keys wander off the map, somewhere between memory and tomorrow, notes drift like lantern paper across black water, we aren’t here anymore, are we.
That was Nitai Hershkovits & Daniel Dor with Elsewhere.
Next a piece of my own as Trevlad – Hill Roving Slicer from the album TVCL 10 which is the 10th album of collected backgrounds from the Virtual Cassette Library series. If leaving tips or subscribing to the Mixcloud is not your thing then maybe you could consider grabbing a copy of one the back catalogue albums. Anyway…
wind slices grass blades sideways, modular blades carve hill contours, body tumbling through frequency grass, roving, slicing, alive in the shear
That was me, Trevlad with Hill Roving Slicer.
Now from the East coast of Sweden to the West this is Datasal – Besök from the double A side single Observatoriet / Besök out on Gothenburgs finest Höga Nord Rekords. A wonderful mix of synth and guitar here.
Swedish twilight creaks open, footsteps on wooden dock over dark lake, visitor arrives without knocking, air thick with pine and unsaid words, welcome, stay
That was Datasal with Besök.
Next Mr Harry Towell is back with his alias Glåsbird – Days of Iron and Steam, another featured track from the compilation An Ambient Decade. Wonderful ambient tones and sparce piano.
rusted pistons sigh in fogged morning, iron veins pulse slow heat, steam ghosts rise from cracked boiler hearts, industrial lullaby grinding toward dusk.
That was Glåsbird with Days of Iron and Steam. Now another couple of friends of the channel here in the form of Exit Chamber & Ed Herbers – Loathing (from SELF-) out on that fantastic label Passed Recordings that keep insisting on being included in the shows by being the best.
nails on chalkboard nerves, mirror cracks inward, loathing coils like smoke in the throat, self staring back with borrowed eyes, heavier every loop
That was Exit Chamber & Ed Herbers with Loathing
Next the longest piece og the episode, clocking in at 10:17 by the artist JSF – The Opening Gate (Splendid Seas of Canopus) from the album ‘Astral Airways’ out on a label that’s been catching my attention lately ‘The Dream Journal Institute’.
cosmic gate creaks on star hinges, Canopus light floods the corridor, splendid seas roll in vacuum waves, sailing weightless toward unknown shore
That was JSF with The Opening Gate (Splendid Seas of Canopus)
Now yet another collaboration. Julia Gjertsen and Gustav Davidsson – ‘Afterglow’ from the album ‘Wandering Mind, Drifting Weather’. Norwegian piano meet Swedish trombone.
last ember glows behind closed lids, piano traces fading sunset lines, bodies still humming from earlier touch, quiet warmth lingers, refuses to leave
That was Julia Gjertsen and Gustav Davidsson with Afterglow.
simon mccorry – in the feint of moonlight – ‘all the important things are now connected’. On whitelabrecs. A listening party on the 16 of March with the official release set for 21 March.
moonlight feints through bare branches, cello bow breathes almost inaudible, silver outline of everything almost disappearing, almost here, almost gone
That was simon mccorry with the penultimate track of episode 185, ‘in the feint of moonlight’.
To end the show I give you Visible Cloaks – Disque (ft. Motion Graphics) from the album Paradessence. Available through RVNG Intl.
prism refractions dance on wet pavement, synths bloom fractal petals, motion graphics flicker inside the mind’s eye, disque spinning endless iridescent now.
Thanks for listening…
echoes fold into themselves, last tone hangs like breath in winter air, silence returns, softer than before, carrying everything we heard… cheerio…

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 312
LISTEN HERE
Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.
Trevor here. You’ve pressed play on another Virtual Cassette Library. Twelve-track virtual cassettes that flips themselves at the halfway mark.
If you make music, or run a label, and fancy a place in the library, send your links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I read every one. Promise.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have over eleven hundred other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes. Subscribers also receive the expanding series of 3-hour adventures titled Veil Frequencies.
Now imagine each episode as a colossal rotating stage — a great mechanical blooming lotus. You, the audience only ever glimpse a sliver of it at a time. Every artist is allotted the exact time it takes them to perform their piece. Then they rotate out of view, and the next act glides in. The stage spins at whatever speed the track demands.
The names of the artists and labels I’ll mention before each set — or “side,” as the cassette alchemists call them. Six little incantations per set, plus a general mist of what mood to expect.
Now the stage begins to turn.
A luminous, slightly forensic ambient journey through corridors of evidence, papery lanterns, and planets that have not finished burning.
Side A opens an investigation the cameras invent as they roll, then cracks a cosmic oval, grows emerald armour between patio bricks, combs strings into sand that will not stay, squeezes two minutes of smear-test whimsy, and ends on a wind prayer written for people and cats.
Side B walks dry iron valleys toward utopian lullabies, cuts others from the seventh gemstone tray, argues a Messiah into demo clothes, wires splendour so slowly it can curve, refuses to hurry its illusions, and keeps Batov’s ten-year sun turning with all it can do.
Overall mood: Contemplative, analog, and quietly jewelled — full of evidence the ghost leaves behind, sand still deciding, and light that knows which pocket it came from. Perfect for late listening, slow wiring, or sitting with the corridor while the next spool still waits.
00:03:06 Department of Light – Investigation #1
https://theastralrealms.bandcamp.com/track/investigation-1
Album: ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆
Label: The Dream Journal Institute
Sofia walks a corridor that only exists when the cameras are rolling. Five triangles of evidence. The library fund gets whatever the ghost leaves behind.
00:09:07 Michael Brückner – Coda (A Pure Oval Shape)
https://cyclicaldreams.bandcamp.com/track/coda-a-pure-oval-shape
Album: The Egg in the Cosmic Crack [CYD 0165]
Label: Cyclical Dreams
An oval so clean it could be an eye or an Ei. The cosmic egg cracks, then politely puts itself back together for the coda.
00:13:06 Soda Lite – Emerald Armour
https://soda-lite.bandcamp.com/album/011-soda-lite-cape-gooseberry
Album: 011: Soda Lite (Cape Gooseberry)
Label: Music To Watch Seeds Grow By
Cape gooseberry armour — a papery lantern grown between patio bricks. The plant singing on a cliff that did not invite an audience.
00:16:05 Trem 77 – Staers
https://trem77.bandcamp.com/track/staers
Album: Textural Colour Spectrum Sandpainting
Henrik’s strings combed into sand. A painting you are not allowed to keep; only to notice while the grains are still deciding.
00:22:47 Daily Mail Comments Section – A Short Song About Sex
https://enofa.bandcamp.com/track/a-short-song-about-sex
Album: Now That’s What I Call Smear Test
Two minutes of smear-test pop that arrived in a dream before Charli could steal the name. Whimsy wearing steel-capped boots.
00:23:37 Frank Pels – Wind Prayer
https://ambientcat.bandcamp.com/track/wind-prayer
Album: Voyager
Label: Ambient Cat
A wind prayer written for people and for cats. Voyager opening a window the size of a synth trail and calling it home.
00:29:07 Fallen – From Dry Iron Valleys to Utopian Realms
https://touched.bandcamp.com/track/from-dry-iron-valleys-to-utopian-realms-2
Album: Stars are Crashing, Home are Burning, Hearts are Changing-Notes from a Distant World/Detuned Lullabies for the Old Planet
Label: Touched Music
Dry iron valleys emptying into a realm that believes in lullabies. Forty-one records walking toward a planet that has not finished burning.
00:39:15 AeTopus – Others
https://cyclicaldreams.bandcamp.com/track/aetopus-others
Album: Gemstones VII [CYD 0166]
Label: Cyclical Dreams
Others, cut from the seventh tray of gemstones. Berlin School light bouncing off a stone that knows which pocket it came from.
00:43:25 SPTW – Messiah (demo version)
https://mahorka.bandcamp.com/track/messiah-demo-version
Album: EUTHYMIA
Label: Mahorka.
Messiah in demo clothes. SP-404 and an MPC arguing with pencils and bottles until euthymia agrees to sit still.
00:45:02 Dirk Serries – Slowly Wired
https://projektrecords.bandcamp.com/
Album: Curves of Splendor
Label: Projekt Records
Guitar wired so slowly the splendour has time to curve. VidnaObmana’s cousin taking the long way around the intrusive world.
00:56:21 DUSQ – Illusions
https://daydreamerslabel.bandcamp.com/track/illusions
Single: Illusions.
Label: Daydreamers
Illusions that refuse to hurry. Belarus folded into Daydreamers’ fourth quiet continuation.

https://batovrecords.bandcamp.com/track/all-i-can-do
Album: Around The Sun – Batov Records – 10 Years

All they can do is keep the ten-year sun turning. Batov’s suitcase still unpacked on the rotating floor.
