Lampo and the Graham Foundation are pleased to welcome Thomas
Ankersmit as he performs new work for the Serge analogue modular
synthesizer, an instrument originally developed by Serge Tcherepnin at
CalArts in the 1970s.
Ankersmit has been artist in residence at CalArts since last December,
where the historic synthesizers were restored for him to work with.
Word is, while in L.A. he also has been trespasser incognito at
Chateau Marmont, where the swimming pool was cool and refreshing.
Here, he’ll play his own Serge modular live, paired with sampled
material from the old Serge synths, processed in real-time, all in
quad.
Thomas Ankersmit (b. 1979, Leiden, the 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 works frequently with New York minimalist Phill
Niblock. Other collaborators include electroacoustic artists Valerio
Tricoli (spin their acclaimed “Forma II” on Pan from 2011) and Kevin Drumm.
Ankersmit performed at Lampo in September 2008.
