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. And she collaborated with Min Xiao-Fen (pipa), Wu Na (guqin), Frederik Croene (piano), Heleen Van Haegenborgh (piano), Maja Jantar (voice), Lieve D'hondt (video) and Hans Demeulenaere (architectural installations).
In the fall of 2009 Esther will start her PhD research on "Audiotopography" and the integration of sound art in architecture.
Apart from her artistic activities, Venrooy is a lecturer on 20th century music at the Ghent school of fine arts, where she also runs the experimental department and an audio workshop.
