Night Theatre Transmissions

Radiophonic stories from the edge of consciousness

Night Theatre Transmissions is a late-night radiophonic project: essays, metaphysical science fiction and spoken-word fragments carried on a bed of sound. It treats radio – and eventually podcast – as a kind of lucid dream: a place where ideas about consciousness, memory, time and the “Reality Machine” can be explored out loud.

Rather than simply being “a show on Sunbury Radio”, Night Theatre Transmissions is an ongoing experiment in how stories and philosophy sound when they are voiced, layered with atmosphere, and allowed to drift through the dark. Episodes move between reflective essay, speculative fiction, dialogue with synchronistic intelligences, and field reports from the strange edges of ordinary life.

What lives here

This page will gradually become an archive and companion to the audio: notes on episodes, stand-alone texts, and links to recordings that can be shared without worrying about commercial music licensing. Think of this space as a quiet reading room that sits alongside the broadcast – a place where you can revisit key pieces, follow threads, and wander at your own pace.

Themes & territory

Night Theatre Transmissions moves through a recurring set of themes: consciousness and its thresholds; loops and déjà vu; hauntology and echoes from other possible lives; synchronistic intelligence; the architectures of belief; and the way ordinary human days sit on top of something much stranger and more fluid than they appear.

Some pieces arrive as carefully written essays. Others begin as improvisations with an AI co-author, then are shaped for radio. All of them are attempts to listen more closely to the patterns that run underneath experience – and to give those patterns a voice.

Listening

Night Theatre Transmissions currently airs as a late-night program on community radio in Sunbury, Australia, with podcast and on-demand versions in development. As new, music-safe versions of segments are finished, they’ll be linked from this page so they can be heard outside the constraints of broadcast licensing.

This section is under active construction. Audio links, segment notes and a listening guide will be added as the archive grows.
