Sound Off with Katy Henriksen

Sound Off with Katy Henriksen features in-depth conversations about music that challenges the status quo—hybrid sounds that fall through the cracks because they aren't easily labeled. Whether it's a classical flute-and-electronic music project that takes on police brutality and race, or a mix of poetry, pop and chamber music, Sound Off explores creativity at the intersection of art, music, and literature, and digs into what that work and the people making it tell us about art and life in the 21st century.

Great Episode!

I really appreciate Katy’s experience being comfortable talking to a mic. She’s easy to listen to. The format of the show showcases the voice of the person she is interviewing really well. And the music they are talking about is intertwined very appropriately.

This has quickly become a favorite podcast!

Katy is a thoughtful and dynamic host and each guest brings unique insights to her program! As a musician I think this is a wonderful resource, but I can see it being really interesting and welcoming for other audiences as well.

Original sounds / Unique voices

I throughly enjoyed listening to Katy interview musicians who are pursuing an authenic sound through their love of fusion. Can't wit for the next episode; for the timebeing I am listening to these artists full albums to hold me over. :) Highly recommended for anyone who truly loves all music.

10/10 highly resonant

A fun little divergence with amazing artists I’ve never heard of and questions I wouldn’t think to ask them. I love how much music knowledge is shared and in a way that I can make sense of and appreciate.
