Thomas Ankersmit plays saxophone, makes electronic music and creates installation pieces with sound, infrasound and modifications to the acoustic characters of spaces. Influenced more by experimental and electroacoustic practices than (free) jazz, Ankersmit focuses on exploring the timbral extremes of the saxophone. He has performed solo as well as with artists such as Phill Niblock, Kevin Drumm, Keith Rowe, Giuseppe Ielasi, Borbetomagus and others.
