Transmissions is the debut of Black Box Memories, a side project Peter Reeves formed from pieces that did not fit the darker, more claustrophobic direction of his Sumatran Black work. Recorded in Istanbul in early 2017, the album pairs hazy loops and nostalgic pads with air-traffic chatter, spoken samples, and hints of extraterrestrial menace. Its lo-fi vintage synthesizer palette feels inviting at first, then gradually reveals a stranger and more unsettled world beneath the surface.
