Thomas Ankersmit is a musician, composer and sound artist from Leiden, Netherlands, who lives in Berlin and Amsterdam. For almost two decades, he has devoted his work to the Serge Modular Synthesizer, one of the most versatile and experimental instruments in analogue sound generation. His artistic approach moves at the intersection of musique concrète, electroacoustic improvisation and psychoacoustic sound art. An essential aspect of Ankersmit’s practice is the exploration of the physical and spatial dimensions of sound. Acoustic phenomena such as infrasound, otoacoustic emissions and directional sound projections play a central role in this. By consciously transcending technical boundaries – such as the creative use of feedback, signal interference and extreme frequency ranges – he creates works of high precision and physical intensity.
