Ode to the fem 2
00:00:00 Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith – Thoughts On The Future
https://kaitlynaureliasmith.bandcamp.com/track/thoughts-on-the-future
(from the album *Thoughts On The Future*) Nettwerk label.
A vast, twilight desert stretches under a sky streaked with electric violet auroras. Floating modular synth orbs pulse softly like distant lanterns, while faint geometric patterns ripple across sand dunes that shift in slow, liquid waves.
00:07:01 Gollden – destiny #10
https://imaginarynorth.bandcamp.com/track/destiny-10
(from the album *Destiny*) Imaginary North label.
A neon-lit corridor in an abandoned cyber-city at midnight. Holographic cherry blossoms drift through cracked concrete, their petals glitching into fractal code as distant data streams cascade down mirrored walls in electric blue.
00:09:00 frostlake – Sundowner
https://discusmusic.bandcamp.com/track/sundowner
(from the album *Shattered Stone*) Discus Music label.
Golden-orange sunlight spills across a calm coastal harbor at dusk. Wooden boats rock gently on mirrored water streaked with neon reflections, while seabirds circle above crumbling stone quays where long shadows stretch like forgotten promises.
00:12:34 Christina Chatfield – Sutro
(from the album *Sutro*) Mysteries of the Deep label.
Fog rolls thick over ruined Victorian bathhouse ruins perched on jagged cliffs above the Pacific. Pale moonlight filters through rusted iron frameworks, illuminating scattered pearl-like droplets suspended in the mist and tangled reeds swaying in an unseen current.
00:19:12 Rosie Tee – Wishbone
(from the album *Night Creature*) Kikimora Records label.
A dimly lit attic room filled with antique mirrors and velvet drapes at midnight. A delicate bone-white wishbone hovers mid-air, cracking open to release swirling threads of crimson light that weave into spectral figures dancing on the walls.
00:22:47 Hannah Peel – Emergence In Nature
(from the album *Fir Wave*) KMP Music Ltd.
Emerald forest canopy at dawn, where sunlight pierces through leaves in sharp, crystalline beams. Tiny bioluminescent particles rise like fireflies in reverse, forming organic patterns that pulse and expand across moss-covered branches in rhythmic waves.
00:26:42 Garden Gate – A Dream Within a Dream
(appears on the album *Edgar Allan Poe*) Library Of The Occult label.
Endless nested corridors of antique bookshelves under flickering candlelight. Pages flutter open on their own, revealing layered dreamscapes: oceans within oceans, skies folding into more skies, each frame dissolving into the next like ink in water.
00:29:13 ena b. – Birds Dance
(from the album *Night Walk*) Secuencias Temporales label
A twilight meadow encircled by ancient willows. Hundreds of shadowy birds lift in unison, their wings tracing glowing arabesques against a bruised purple sky, spiraling upward in harmonious loops that mirror invisible currents of wind.
00:34:05 ANNABEL [lee] – Cat’s Eye
(from the album*DECAPODA*) Buried Treasure label
A velvet-black room illuminated only by a single luminous green cat’s eye gemstone floating at eye level. Refractions scatter emerald light across floating dust motes and half-seen feline silhouettes prowling along the edges of perception.
00:37:06 Daniella Tourgeman, Tomer Baruch – Mistor
(from the album *שפת עולם*) Kame’a Music label
Ancient stone alleyways in a fog-shrouded Mediterranean city at predawn. Soft amber lanterns cast trembling pools of light on dew-wet cobblestones, where whispers of mist curl around arched doorways hiding secrets in shadow.
00:41:34 Castle If – Missing 404
(from the album *darknet*)
A glitchy, pixelated library floating in digital void. Empty bookshelves flicker erratically, pages dissolving into error-code rain that falls upward, while a lone cursor blinks insistently in the center of an unreachable, cracked screen.
00:44:15 Sachi Kobayashi – Nostalgia
(from the album *More Than Just A Dream*) Stereoscenic Records.
A faded childhood bedroom bathed in warm afternoon sun through lace curtains. Old photographs on the wall slowly develop reverse—colors draining away—while a music box melody unwinds in slow motion, dust motes suspended like frozen memories.
00:49:26 Me Lost Me – Real World
(from the album RPG) Upset The Rhythm label.
A bustling urban street viewed through rain-streaked window glass at night. Neon signs blur into watercolor streaks of pink and cyan, pedestrians dissolve into abstract shapes, while reflections in puddles show an alternate, quieter reality beneath.
00:52:23 Little Dragon, April + VISTA – Layers
(from the album *Slipping Into Color*) Ninja Tune label.
Translucent geological strata glowing in deep earth tones underground. Each layer pulses with different hues—indigo, amber, rose—shifting and overlapping like sedimentary memories, with faint bioluminescent veins threading through the rock.
00:55:46 The Mistys – Nervous Mirror
(from the album *Situations | Useless Mouths*) Castles In Space label.
A cracked vanity mirror in a deserted ballroom under chandelier light. Reflections multiply infinitely, each version showing subtle distortions: trembling hands, shifting expressions, fractured eyes staring back with quiet unease.
00:59:42 marine eyes, IKSRE – Forgiveness
(from the album *Nurture*) Past Inside the Present (PITP)
Soft ocean waves lapping at a moonlit shore lined with sea glass. Gentle tides carry away shards of colored light, smoothing rough edges over time, while a pale horizon glows with quiet, healing luminescence.
01:04:36 Sababa 5 & Canay Doğan – Gaip
(from the singel *Gaip / Seher*) Batov Records
A bustling Istanbul bazaar at golden hour, viewed through haze of incense smoke. Spices spill in vibrant pyramids, lanterns sway overhead casting warm patterns on tiled floors, while distant calls blend into a hypnotic, wandering rhythm.

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 184, 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 notes.seaweed.rashers and is the geolocation of a rather good Sushi joint in Bromma Stockholm, Takumi Ramen & Sushi, which serves Burrito sushi rolls. Anyway, These episodes drop about three times a week with no fixed schedule—just pure passion for independent music. So do follow the Mixcloud page and the socials to stay up to date.
