Transmitter are permanently engaged in research at their sound laboratory in South London. Field activities take place whenever suitable transmission environments are identified.

So far Transmitter have been seen at:

The 12 Bar Club. Regular sonic investigations have been made at this venue and many promising lines of enquiry established. It was thought that at one point a man called Harry Stoneman may have been responsible for the death of a young woman. Following the threat of legal action from an unnamed individual - who is thought to be a very influential member of London's session musician scene - the allegation was withdrawn.

The Arts cafe, E1. A very pleasant venue with some strong tendencies towards transmission. Further sonic research is required at this venue to uncover its full potential. The high ceiling provides an interesting and welcome acoustic. The leaded windows lend proceedings an intriguing turn of the century rock and roll feel. A sort of Stranglers meets the Arts & Crafts Movement type of vibe.

Resonance FM. The Transmitter experimented with a broadcast using the platform of Resonance FM to continue their ongoing process of aural enquiry. With the assistance of Terry Nation, a huge amount of progress was made. This broadcast was a brief glimpse into the daily routine of the employees of the Transmitter. The like of which will never be seen again. Unless it is.

The Spitz. A gorgeously noisy broadcast supporting the wonderful Heist , who were celebrating the release of their second album, 'A Shopkeeper Will Not Appear'. Described as 'Demolition Derby meets Vintage Car Rally', the two outfits played to their respective strengths and a certain juxtaposition of approach produced a memorable evening of mayhem, grace, tinkling laughter, eardrum numb fun and skewed lyricism.

The 29th Floor of Guy's Hospital.Transmitter were asked to play in front of a room full of psychiatrists. Quite who asked them has not been established. There is an ongoing debate about the process of enquiry that unravelled during the evening. Was this another routine acoustic investigation or were the Transmitter themselves subject to unusual scrutiny?

RAF Lakenheath. Yes ... peculiar one this. Transmitter field operatives were asked to make sonic enquiries amidst the thunder of mighty jet aircraft and in the shadow of a large American scoreboard. The results were inconclusive.

The Hope and Anchor. The Transmitter found themselves in a small underground room - with surprisingly good noise qualities - playing to a bunch of people who liked plenty of noise. So that can't be bad.
