A journey through hypnotic rhythms, shifting textures and altered states of listening. Close your eyes, lose yourself, and let it carry you into the deep.

Altered Vibrations is a podcast exploring the sounds, stories and creative worlds of FLINTA, LGBTQ, BIPOC bodies. Moving between music, commentary and conversation, the show explores the ideas behind the music. Spotlighting the ways artists showcase their artistry and challenge conventions to express alternative ways of thinking, feeling, and being. The show welcomes its frequency to Catalyst artists and students, within the intersection of FLINTA/LGBTQ/BIPOC bodies, inviting them to share the music, ideas and experiences that have shaped them.

Join sound artist Lutz Gallmeister as he uncovers how sound projects come to life — from the first idea to the final performance. Each episode dives into the creative process, collaboration, and craft behind bringing sound to theatre, dance, installations, and beyond. Co-hosted by writer and podcaster Madhvi Ramani. 

The sound drifts between fragile resonance and deep pulses, a dreamscape where transparency meets distortion, like tuning into a signal from another world.
