Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 296
www.mixcloud.com/djsofabed/tvcl-296/
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 cosmic, slightly archival ambient journey through uncharted quadrants, greenhouse arks, and nine worlds below.
Side A drifts from exclusive galactic isolation and catalystic dreaming into a lumbering poem-machine, last-forest arks, Portuguese hardware colour, and hymns that give everything they have. Side B opens in guitar-and-harmony tranquility, then moves through Kosmische hover, shadow-planet rework, Niflhel depths, a vacation-light response, and ends in a slanted average where nothing needs proving.
Overall mood: Expansive, contemplative, and quietly generous — full of star-aimed memory, analogue drive, and safe mediocrity. Perfect for deep listening, late hours, or sitting still while the tape finds its own orbit.
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.
The tape unspools its visions.

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.

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.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 221
Calm Tableau Procession
Based on the track “Tableau #5” from the album “Analog Abstractions” by “Alex Ringess”.
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 cosmic and contemplative ambient journey through space, memory, and introspection.
Side A drifts from vast exoplanetary drones and celestial downtempo into graceful, melancholic departures and mystical stellar atmospheres. Side B deepens the cinematic feel with Solaris-inspired processions, minimalist reflections, cerebral electronics, and ends on a warm, serene modular note.
Overall mood: Ethereal, spacious, and gently melancholic with a strong sense of wonder and quiet emotional depth. It balances cosmic vastness with intimate, reflective moments. Perfect for stargazing, late-night immersion, or focused deep listening.
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.

Good day to you listeners, wherever you are. This is Trevor.
Welcome once again to one of these spontaneous episodes – music from all over the world, sparked by a single track that appears somewhere inside the set itself. This episode titled Evening Embers Rise is based on the track Rise by The Peace Race, from the album Shelter, which comes out on July 1 via the fantastic Mortality Tables label. All the other tracks happened to just fit the vibe.
So settle in, turn it up a bit if you can, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it. If you can subscribe, even if it’s just for the month it would be a great help.
Right then… here we go.
00:00:00 haruka nakamura – 彼方
A tender, shimmering piano-led piece from the Twilight era. Delicate melodies drift like distant memories across a soft, glowing haze—intimate, melancholic, and quietly luminous Japanese ambient at its most poetic.
00:03:00 NOT WAVING – Emotion 1.7 Cleanse
Cool, immersive electronic ambient from the Futuro project. Clean, spacious synth layers and subtle rhythmic undercurrents create a detached, cleansing atmosphere—minimal yet emotionally resonant.
00:08:52 Hollie Kenniff – Embers
Warm, glowing ambient with soft, flickering textures and gentle melodic fragments. Like the last light of a dying fire, it feels comforting, introspective, and healing—perfectly suited to its compilation’s mental health theme.

Still, contemplative ambient exploring deep immobility. Sparse, resonant tones create a profound sense of presence and quiet suspension.

Ode to the fem
00:00:00 Patricia Wolf – The Grotto
(from the album See-Through)
Balmat records.
Soft emerald light filters through a hidden cave entrance, illuminating dripping stalactites that gleam like wet crystals. Shadows shift gently across moss-covered stone walls as faint ripples spread across a shallow turquoise pool. Pale vines curl downward, touching the water’s surface, while distant echoes suggest unseen chambers opening further in.
00:02:54 marine eyes – suddenly green
(from the album to belong)
Past Inside the Present.
Early morning fog lifts from rolling hills, revealing fresh blades of grass sparkling with dew under a pale sky. Sunlight breaks through in soft patches, turning the landscape a vivid, almost luminous shade of spring green. Distant wildflowers sway lightly, and the air feels newly alive with quiet renewal.
00:05:50 IKSRE – Granite
(from the album Solar Return: Golden Hour Mix)
Imaginary North.
Ancient rock faces rise stark against a vast, open sky at dusk, their rough surfaces etched with veins of quartz that catch fading golden light. Wind moves across the stone, carrying subtle grains of dust, while the horizon blurs into warm amber tones, evoking timeless solidity and quiet endurance.
00:09:01 Panic Girl – Feathers Of Hope
(from the album Memories)
i u we records.
Delicate white feathers drift slowly downward through golden afternoon light, catching gentle currents in an open meadow. They settle softly on tall grass stems, some twirling upward again before landing, surrounded by distant wild blooms and a sense of uplifting lightness.
00:11:26 Volker Rapp – Out of my Mind
(from the album Blade Runner 2099)
Cyclical Dreams.
Neon reflections shimmer across rain-slicked streets in a futuristic cityscape at night, with towering holographic billboards flickering in electric blues and pinks. Distant flying vehicles streak overhead, their lights trailing like comets, while the scene pulses with synthetic glow and detached introspection.
00:11:58 Andrea Cichecki – Different Step
(from the album Drawn Into The Edge Effect)
Castles In Space.
Footsteps trace an irregular path along a narrow coastal ledge at twilight, where waves crash below against dark rocks. Mist rises from the sea, blending with soft purple hues in the sky, and small stones shift underfoot, marking a deliberate yet wandering rhythm.
00:15:24 glo – kenóō
(from the album associated with experimental/ambient contexts, often standalone or mix-featured)
Empty temple halls stretch into dim distance, lit only by faint lanterns casting long shadows on wooden floors. Incense smoke curls lazily upward, dissolving into stillness, while subtle echoes of distant chimes linger in vast, open space.
00:21:22 Sachi Kobayashi – Healing
(from the album Weathervane)
Stereoscenic Records.
Gentle sunlight filters through a canopy of leaves in a quiet forest clearing, dappling the ground with moving patterns of gold. A soft wind stirs wild grasses and small white flowers, carrying a sense of calm restoration that spreads outward like slow-spreading warmth.
00:24:31 Amorphous Androgynous – Meadows
(from the album associated with their ambient/electronic works, often A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble series context)
Wide open fields stretch under a vast blue sky, dotted with clusters of wildflowers swaying in a warm breeze. Butterflies drift lazily between blooms, and distant tree lines shimmer in heat haze, evoking endless peaceful expanse.
00:27:42 the black Albumen – provokovieff
(from the album associated with Buried Treasure releases)
Buried Treasure.
Abstract geometric shapes float in deep black void, slowly rotating and intersecting with faint glowing edges in crimson and violet. Forms distort and reform like liquid metal, creating tension through precise yet unpredictable motion.
00:30:09 Pogo – Alice (Extended)
(from the album Broken Beats & Magic Snacks or extended rework context)
Vibrant cartoon woodlands come alive with swirling colors: oversized mushrooms glow in neon pinks and blues, teacups float mid-air, and checkerboard paths twist into impossible loops. Madcap elements whirl together in playful, accelerating chaos.
00:33:13 Emily A. Sprague – Horizon
(from the album Mount Vision)
RVNG Intl.
A flat, endless ocean meets a pale sky at dawn, with thin layers of pastel clouds drifting low. Subtle waves lap forward, reflecting soft rose and lavender tones that gradually brighten, holding a meditative line of infinite calm.
00:39:13 Scott Gilmore – Subtle Vertigo
(from the album Subtle Vertigo)
Spiraling staircases ascend into misty heights within an old tower, their steps worn smooth and bathed in diffused light from narrow windows. Shadows curve along curved walls, inducing a gentle, disorienting pull upward.
00:43:35 Cate Brooks – Curig
(from the album Horizons or related Ghost Box-inspired works)
Rolling Welsh hills under overcast skies, with ancient stone walls dividing emerald fields. Sheep graze quietly, and faint mist clings to distant ridges, evoking rural solitude and timeless pastoral quiet.
00:48:38 Tim Shiel – Between Ends (feat. Lonelyspeck)
(from the album Glowing Pains: Music From The Gardens Between)
Spirit Level
Twilight bridges connect shadowy urban fragments, suspended over dark water where city lights reflect in fractured lines. Echoing vocal fragments drift across the scene, marking a liminal space of transition and unresolved emotion.
00:50:09 Dean Honer, Supreme Vagabond Craftsman – I Saw The Frogman
(from the album Frogman)
A surreal pond at midnight, illuminated by moonlight: a humanoid figure with frog-like features emerges halfway from the water, wearing an old coat, staring curiously. Reeds sway around lily pads, blending whimsy with eerie folklore.
00:53:11 Hong Kong In The 60s – Disintegration, The Advisory Circle Reshape
(from the album Disintegration or reshape series)
Old film reels flicker with decaying 1960s Hong Kong street scenes: neon signs buzz and blur, crowds dissolve into grainy static, and colors bleed outward in slow analog decay, reshaped into haunting nostalgia.
00:56:08 Anita Tatlow – in hallowed spaces
(from the album the farthest star)
slow echo.
Sunlight streams through tall arched windows in an empty cathedral, illuminating dust motes dancing in golden beams. Stone pillars rise into shadow, and faint reverb carries the sense of sacred, resonant emptiness.
00:59:34 Lisa Bella Donna – Big Briar Cove
(from the album *Moogmentum (Presented by the Bob Moog Foundation)
*)
Thick briar thickets encircle a hidden cove along a rugged coastline, where tangled vines climb over weathered rocks. Waves roll in gently below, and wildflowers peek through thorns, creating a secluded, overgrown sanctuary.

The album is not due for release until october 2. This single will be officially released on September 18, but you non subscribers can hear it here until the 23 august. The album, Umbral, inhabits that in-between space, that threshold: where what we feel and what we do don’t fully align, where what once felt steady begins to tremble. The release will be accompanied by an 8-part film, with each chapter conceptually interpreting one of the album’s tracks. Together, all eight chapters form a visual entity that shares the name Umbral. The film is directed by filmmaker and artist Héctor Ayuso.
Also a super exclusive from Sergio Mariani, aka, mRn. With the track, Those Purged, Purified And Refined. Only available here on this episode or a short clip on mRns instagram.
The B side contains a little penny whistle exclusive called Away With Troubles And Anxieties! from Paul Dunmalls upcoming album of the same name. Release date: 15th September on Sheffield based label Discus Music.
