Transmission is a term that I didn't know about in the musical sense until I read chapter 4 of "Every Song Ever" by Ben Ratliff. Transmission is essentially knowing how to effectively communicate through music. I think, personally, that transmission is important in most (if not all) types of music because music is nothing but noise without intent and meaning. Of course, this is very subjective and is only my view. If 5 people were to listen to a song, there is always a possibility that each of those people will take away something different from the experience. Transmission, I think, is the ability to convey or “transmit” the same meaning to every member of the audience. There will always be small differences in how people understand media but if everyone gets a general idea, then the “transmission” was successful. Ben Ratliff provides multiple good examples of songs with obvious meanings which helps understand the definition and how it is used in music.
