Thomas Ankersmit's improvising saxophone work focuses on the abstract, timbral extremes of the instrument, combining sustained streams of intense multiphonic sound with acoustically amplified micro-events occurring inside the instrument. His electronic music combines real-time performance on analogue modular synthesizers with digital editing and multitrack recording. He incorporates prototype directional loudspeakers to create spots and corridors of sound and silence in three-dimensional space.
