I'm Samuel Stroobants
A Brussels based sound engineer
Since I was a young boy, I was very interested and passionated by music and sound in general.
Learning Musical Theory and the Clarinet at the Music Academy of Tervuren, I joined a harmony orchestra when I was 10.
When I was in secondary school I joined several bands and started experimenting with mixer gear and all kinds of instruments. At that time I played the clarinet, a casio mini sampler, a Roland JUNO-60, a Yamaha RBX bass guitar and some percussion like congas, jam blocks and also started singing.
After secondary school I went to the RITCS (Royal Institute for Theatre, Cinematography & Sound).
After these studies I first worked as a sound engineer for Television for Wim Robberechts & Co, where I worked for BBC, ARD, ORF, VT4, ... all based in and around Brussels and did sound for corporate videos too.
Shortly after that I went to work for VRT, the Public Flemish National Radio, where I worked for almost 25 years in radio studios, on the road and abroad.
As a complementary study I did several courses with The Association for Sound Therapy (Nestor Kornblum & Michele Averard) and learned working with Singing bowls, tuning forks, Overtone Singing and colour therapy.
Today I'm a completely independant sound engineer doing sound for quite a diverse palette of events.
Looking forward to meet and work together.
