Transmission Publishing is a digital platform and book publisher exploring the cross section between art, design, music and culture. 


Our exclusive online interviews celebrate the very best in contemporary art and design for music. We explore the creative journey behind vinyl record covers, gig posters, branding, editorial, live music visuals and motion graphics and discover how music inspires the creative process. 

We are a space to discover new examples of visualising sound and a resource to buy physical releases.

Our visual culture books (coming soon) celebrate art, design, music and explore how they impact contemporary culture.
