About — The artist

Thomas Ankersmit (born 1979 in Leiden, Netherlands) is a musician and installation artist based in Berlin and Amsterdam. His principal instrument, both live and in the studio, is the Serge analogue modular synthesiser.

Physical and psychoacoustic phenomena, such as sound reflections, infrasonic vibration, otoacoustic emissions and highly directional sound projections, have been an important part of his work since the early 2000s. His electronic music is also characterised by a deliberate misuse of equipment, with feedback and signal interruptions used to create many of his sounds.

Ankersmit frequently collaborates with the New York minimalist composer Phill Niblock, the electroacoustic improviser Valerio Tricoli and the noise artist Kevin Drumm. During the first ten years of his activity he focused almost exclusively on live performance and installation work. Since 2010, his music has been released on the labels PAN, Touch and Ash International.
