Tuesday, July 1st at 7pm, ISSUE Project Room hosts a free limited engagement for up to 10 ISSUE Members with RSVP. The evening consists of an intimate conversation with Thomas Ankersmit about his artistic practice with the Serge Modular analog synthesizer, his main instrument since 2006. Ankersmit is currently working on a series of pieces for the original Serge Modular systems at studios like EMS in Stockholm, GRM in Paris, as well as Harvard and CalArts in the US. Following a residency working at the historic Columbia University Computer Music Center, he’ll share his work-in-progress on the CMC’s unique Serge synthesizer and present unreleased recordings from the project so far, possibly mixed with live performance on his own Serge system. As described by The Quietus, Ankersmit’s work is “acutely visceral, brilliantly dynamic electroacoustic music … Play this loud and it starts to feel like a crack opening in reality.”
