💥Ensemble Spotlight!
Our weekly series on the musicians of the open music ensemble continues; today we are excited to introduce one of the three artistic directors and board members: Roderik Vanderstraeten

Roderik Vanderstraeten – sound director, composer, musician, sound engineer, open music Artistic Director
Roderik Vanderstraeten works as a sound engineer, sound director and recording producer at the intersection of composition, electroacoustic practice and the performing arts. The focus is on music production: sound is developed as a formal and spatial structure, documented and translated into performance or release formats. Depending on the context, this results in sound scores, cue structures, live setups, studio realisations and reproducible workflows.
He studied music theory, piano and classical guitar, trained in dance and the performing arts at the Rudra Béjart School in Lausanne, and subsequently completed a diploma in audio engineering in London. Since 1998, he has worked as a freelance sound engineer, sound director, sound designer, composer and musician for stage and media. Since 2019, he has been a board member of open music e.V. Stuttgart, where he is responsible for production and laboratory formats that bridge composition and improvisation – particularly in recording, documentation and concert formats.
