Thomas Ankersmit (1979, Leiden, Netherlands) is a musician and
installation artist based in Berlin and Amsterdam. His main instruments
are the Serge analogue modular synthesizer, computer and alto saxophone.
He frequently works together with New York minimalist Phill Niblock and
electroacoustic artists Valerio Tricoli and Kevin Drumm. </span><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">"Ankersmit constructs a musical world that feels alive and capable of
going anywhere, and yet also manages to give the music a strong sense of
structured purpose, a degree of compositional control unusual in this
area of live performance. It is the fine balance between the sense of
chaos that threatens to pull everything apart and the controlled
formation of the music into clearly defined sections of differing
intensities that raises the work above that of so many of Ankersmit’s
contemporaries." Richard Pinnell, The Wire <br> <a href="http://www.thomasankersmit.net/" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank"><span>http://</span><span></span>www.thomasankersmit.net/</a><br>
