Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 255
Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 255. 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 gentle, nature-infused, and introspective ambient journey through seasons, plants, and storytelling.
Side A flows from sunny rain and clear ambiguity into fleeting glimpses, resigned beauty, and rhythmic patterns. Side B gathers around campfires, buoys, synesthetic storms, momentary drifts, and golden mystical pillars.
Overall mood: Warm, contemplative, and quietly wondrous with a strong connection to nature and emotion. Perfect for deep relaxation, morning listening, or peaceful reflection.
Episode 255 is based on the track “Buoy.” by “Willebrant” from the release “Selected Works – Slowed and Reverb, Volume 2”. Which Australian artist Karl Willebrant sent me a couple of days back. The track is over 13 minutes long so it should be on an episode of Expansive Waves which is my long form music show. For the moment that’s on hold as I don’t have the will to do one. Mainly from lack of time but also from having to pay for the shows myself as I’m still, after years of trying, missing 2 subscribers from the channel in order to get a payout from Mixcloud. It’s super frustrating dangling on that edge for so long.
Anyway a massive shout out to Richard Francés of Hylé Tapes for sending me their catalogue of wonderful releases. You’ll be hearing lots from Hylé Tapes in the near future.
In other news, Substak has entered a track for my next compilation release “Quiet Figures”. Get your entry in before September 24th and join him and The Earl of Dean. Details on the Bandcamp page.
Now back to this episode which features Dutch artist Art Bit and Columbian artist Bålsam both with releases on the Dronarium label.
Japanese artist Tomotsugu Nakamura together with Spanish artists David Cordero have one out via Home Normal records.
Another play by Washington DC based Dionisaf from his release on the Ambient Cat label.
Maps and Diagrams has a release on Sardinian label Lontano Series the sub label of Rohs! records.
Brussels based Jonathan Poliart gets another play from his release as well as Paris based Simon Cacheux both out on Adventurous Music.
The wonderful Mahorka label features, as usual, with a piece by Auto-nomaton.
Also the fantastic collaboration of zakè, Ossa, ASC with a release on zakés own Bandcamp page.
Ending the episode is Danish artist øjeRum with a release on Lithuanian label Amulet of Tears who has also supported the channel with loads of releases.
But first out to start the ball rolling Toronto based artist Chad Skinner also known as Sun Rain with his track May from the Imaginary North release Lake Effect: Quiet Music From Toronto.
So settle in, turn it up a bit, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it.
