His music is released on the Shelter Press, PAN and Touch labels, and combines intricate sonic detail and raw electric power, with a very physical and spatial experience of sound. Acoustic phenomena such as infrasound and otoacoustic emissions (sounds emanating from inside the head, generated by the ears themselves) play an important role in his work, as does a deliberate, creative misuse of the equipment.

Praise

»Acutely visceral, brilliantly dynamic electroacoustic music … Play this loud and it starts to feel like a crack opening in reality.« – The Quietus

»The effect is seismic. This is a high point of the year, and of Ankersmit’s career to date.« – Tone Glow

»Ankersmit sounds like the best damn noise artist on the planet. … Perceptual Geography contains some of the most challenging, absorbing, and masterfully executed sound art that I have ever heard.« – Brainwashed

»A deeply perception-altering experience that doesn’t just mess with your mind, but extends from the inside of your skull to the air around it.« – Magnet

»Gorgeous and visceral … Supernovas of sound.« – Peter Margasak, The Wire

»Ankersmit’s tribute to Maryanne Amacher swims right through you … Activating the body of the listener, creating phantom tones seemingly from within my head and making my chest cavity feel like a speaker itself … One of the festival's highlights.« – Robert Barry, The Wire
