Thomas Ankersmit
Thomas Ankersmit's saxophone voice is an entrancing, violent mass of multiphonic, shapeshifting sound, oscillating endlessly through circular breathing, penetrating every corner of the room. Far removed from the syntax of jazz or improv, his is a spectacular recontextualisation of the instrument's possibilities, forcing it into uncharted sonic territory.
"Ankersmit tears into the room’s resonant acoustics with a hail of buzzsaw-inflected harmonics and ruthlessly chases down every fleeing frequency before rattling it within in an each of its life." - Joe Panzer, Stylus
