Hans Peter Strobl (January 22, 1942 - July 21, 2007) was an Austrian-Canadian sound engineer in film and television.[1] He was most noted as a five-time Genie Award winner for Best Overall Sound, and a six-time Jutra Award winner for Best Sound.
A native of Vienna, Austria, he began his career as chief recording engineer for the Vienna Symphony.[2] Moving to Canada in 1972 after meeting Louise Gariépy,[1] he began working in film, first with Cinelume and later joining the National Film Board of Canada in 1979.[2] He remained with the NFB until 1991, when his greater interest in working on theatrical features led him to launch his own film recording and production facility, Marko Film, with Jean-Charles Tremblay in 1991.[2]
In 1994, he became the first Canadian recording engineer ever to win all three of Canada's major film and television sound awards in the same year, winning a Genie for The Sex of the Stars (Le Sexe des étoiles), a Gemini Award for the English-language television miniseries The Boys of St. Vincent and a Gémeaux Award for the French-language television miniseries Shehaweh.[2]
He died in 2007, having worked on over 400 films over the course of his career.[1] He had two sons, re-recording sound mixer Bernard Gariépy Strobl and Cirque du Soleil engineer Olivier Gariépy.
