 Although Swiss-born, synthesist Thomas Ronkin has been residing in California since 1976 and that's where his musical career started. In the early years, he collborated with the likes of Steve Roach, playing rhythmic, sequencer-based Electronic Music. Later he adopted a more personal style that featured a mixture of rhythmic Berlinesque stuff and Ambient floaters that got quite dark at places. - http://pugachov.ru/eem/rafram.html Thomas Ronkin is a prolific and challenging artist coming from the West Coast sacred space music school (Michael Stearns, Steve Roach?.). Firstly influenced by the moving and electronic analog epics of the Berlin Underground scene, Thomas Ronkin started his career back in the 1970s. During the early 1980s he released some of his most astonishing and notorious albums. Today Thomas Ronkin is still active, providing some ambient sound sculptures for installations and reaching a wider public. His musical signature delivers emotionally charming and propulsive sci-fi proggy electronic ambient. - http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=6939 The Thomas Ronkin CD Symmetric was an evolved work, taking the concept of sequencer-driven, two-tonic music to a whole new level. What constitutes this, primarily, is how many of the sequenced repetitions on Symmetric were programmed to swell and subside in shifting, elongated tides, as opposed to just lingering as an unwavering, percussive undercurrent throughout the entirety of the piece as so many Berlin School recording artists have practiced doing before him.
