Thomas Ankersmit’s new album for Shelter Press “Homage to Dick Raaijmakers” is an all-analogue electronic music composition inspired by legendary Dutch composer / electronic and tape music pioneer / multimedia artist Dick Raaijmakers (1930-2013). The work takes inspiration from Raaijmakers’ music from the 1960s, his texts on sound composition like “Cahier M”, and notes on his own music.  On this recording Ankersmit plays Serge Modular feedback and sine/pulse/random generators, contact mic, and tape speed variation.

Mirroring some of Raaijmakers’ work, Ankersmit plays his Serge synthesizer as a kind of weather system. He references storms, thunder, crashing and falling objects, and distant radio transmissions in his electronic sounds, as well as dragging a contact mic across his equipment. Despite the abstract nature of the material, a sense of loss or mourning sometimes emerges from the music.

With his homage Ankersmit re-contextualizes Raaijmakers’ ideas about electric sound, composition, and spatial experience. Like Raaijmakers himself Ankersmit exclusively uses analogue devices, such as sine/pulse/random generators, modulators, filters, and especially feedback processes between them.

The music focuses on the sounds of raw electricity through creatively abused electronics, composing with analogue micro-sounds, and the creation of three-dimensional sound fields.

The piece also uses tones produced by the listener’s own ears, inspired by Raaijmakers’ thoughts on “holophonic” sound fields to be individually explored by the listener. With this phenomenon, the listener’s inner ears actively generate sounds that don’t exist in the recorded signal, and which can change with a small movement of the head.

“Homage to Dick Raaijmakers” was commissioned by Sonic Acts and was premiered live at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam in February 2016. Ankersmit also dedicates the work to his father Thijl Ankersmit (1947-2016), who first demonstrated feedback to him. 

Mastered and cut by Rashad Becker and pressed on 140g vinyl housed in reverse-board outer and inner sleeve. Out in September 2018 on Shelter Press on LP / CD / DL.

Homage to Dick Raaijmakers

THOMAS ANKERSMIT 'Homage To Dick Raaijmakers (Extract)' (SP096)

when i started the mix with a sketch i was working on the last days i noticed a passage where a sound of a piano key beeing released sounded a bit like a voice. this sound reminded me of something. almost like i could here a voice speaking. i found this small piece by gill scott-heron, whose voice-sound is just so iconic it sticks with you, once you have heard it the first time. here he is reciting 'the revolution will not be televised...'. so eventhough i wouldn't have wanted to make a topical reflection on what happened and happens in america these days, the memory of his voice must have come to me through some sort of collective unconsciousness and i couldn't else but remember my first ever album my brother released on his lable tokyo trauma back in 2005 - the title was <<die wiederholung der geschichte der amerikanische heimatlosigkeit>> (the repetition of the history of the american homelessness)...
so on one hand the mix has this tension or struggle between immediacy, actuality and memory, america and europe if you want, on the other hand i just thought of a monday night walk in the city and mixed a bunch of archival sketches with some tracks i came to like. i hope you enjoy.
