Esther Venrooy is an artist working in the field of electronic music and sound art. 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.

Her works range from purely electronic composed music to improvised combinations of electronica with traditional instrumentation such as piano, guqin, pipa and satsuma-biwa. She has created site-specific works as well as multimedia performances and installations. 

Esther Venrooy has performed her music extensively for audiences in cities such as Antwerp, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Brussels, Berlin, Madrid, Hamburg, Cologne, Frankfurt, Washington DC, New York and Beijing. She collaborated with visual artists Hans Demeulenaere and Lieve D'hondt, with architect Ema Bonifacic and with musicans Min Xiao-Fen (pipa), Wu Na (guqin) and Heleen Van Haegenborgh (piano). 

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 the audio workshop. Venrooy also presides the board of (k-raa-k)3 organization. Since 2009 Esther started her PhD research on "Audio topography – (re)constructing auditive spaces". In this research she will explore the auditory experience of space and the interaction between the auditory senses and the built environment.
