Esther Venrooy (°1974, Rosmalen, The Netherlands) is a composer and sound artist working in the field of electronic music.
After completing studies in classical saxophone, Venrooy attended the European Dance Development Center (Arnhem) as a composer in residence, where she began employing electronic and digital techniques in pieces aimed at choreography and stage performance. Gradually her music evolved into an independent means of expression and she continued her work with electronica at the IPEM (Institute for Psycho-acoustics and Electronic Music) in Ghent, Belgium where she still resides. At this time she started utilizing film editing paradigms as a foundation for her personal composition methods.
Her works range from purely electronic composed music to improvised combinations of electronica with traditional or ethnic instruments. She has created site-specific works as well as multimedia performances and installations. Much of her music has been released on CD or vinyl and has received good critical response.
Esther Venrooy has performed her music extensively for audiences in cities such as Antwerp, Amsterdam, Brussels, Berlin, Madrid, Hamburg, Cologne, The Hague, New York and Washington DC.
Apart from her artistic activities, Venrooy is a lecturer on 20th century music and experimental arts at the Ghent school of fine arts, where she also runs an audio workshop. Together with her husband she runs Odradek - an organization that curates events, releases and concerts dedicated to sound art and innovative or experimental music. Venrooy also presides the board of the (k-raa-k)3 organization.

Esther :) I hope you're all enjoying NYC. Would have loved to stay there a bit longer and experience your work and also to celebrate Phill. I'm listening to your vinyl - it's absolutely amazing. Very beautiful and intense work - and to experience it on vinyl adds the extra dimension. Congratulations! :)) Jacob

Bedankt voor je berichtje! Zou erg graag komen maar werk nu in Nijvel en dan is Kortrijk op een vrijdagavond toch wel even rijden. Zal er nog even over denken en eens mijn werkprogramma bekijken.
Ja ze, het is natuurlijk wel spannend... Oh, en alles gaat door voor 2010 dus moeten we daar eens over klappen... Zeker tot zaterdag (ik vind het zeer leuk dat je komt! en ik kijk ook uit naar de vrijdag erna) Groetjes Thomas
