My NTS
Live now
1
London
03:00 - 05:00

Clandestine record label, The Trilogy Tapes, tear up the NTS studios once a month, ripping through the grittiest and muddiest tracks. No words on this one, just tunes.

2
Minneapolis
04:00 - 05:00

Harmony, psych, and retro pop delights. Tati takes over the hour with colorful curations from the mid-century and beyond.

Thomas Ankersmit

Thomas Ankersmit has been played on NTS in shows including Golden Ratio Frequencies w/ AHRKH, featured first on 10 October 2014. Songs played include Figueroa Terrace, Skovsholm 0620 and Perceptual Geography.

Thomas Ankersmit (born 1979, Leiden, the Netherlands) is a musician and installation artist based in Berlin and Amsterdam. Initially an improvising saxophonist, his activities expanded to include live electronic music and installation pieces based on architectural acoustics and infrasound. He has been performing solo and in collaboration with other artists such as New York minimalist Phill Niblock, Kevin Drumm, Jim O'Rourke, Gert-Jan Prins, Borbetomagus and Alvin Lucier since 1998. Since 2003, Ankersmit most frequently collaborates with Niblock and electroacoustic improviser Valerio Tricoli.

His 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 realtime performance on analogue modular synthesizers with digital editing and multitrack recording.

Often working closely with engineers and scientists, his recent performances incorporate a Serge modular synthesizer and a computer with prototype directional loudspeakers to create spots and corridors of sound and silence in three-dimensional space.

Ankersmit's few releases include a solo live CD for Touch/Ash International and a split LP with Jim O'Rourke.
