Hello, beloved patrons. We have a little surprise for you. This weekend we celebrate our one-year

Yes, it was one year ago that nocturnal transmissions launched its little Patreon boat onto the waves in the hope that there may be kind individuals out there listening in the dark who would be willing to lend us a little of their breath to fill our sails and carry us forward.

you can become a subscriber by visiting patreon.com forward slash nocturnal transmissions.

Your contribution will help us to keep the dark flame alive.
