   About esther venrooy


More music on www.esthervenrooy.com and http://www.entracte.co.uk

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, Gent, Madrid, Hamburg, Cologne, New York, Washington DC and Beijing.

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. Venrooy also presides the board of the (k-raa-k)3 organization.
