# Hans Peter Strobl

Hans Peter Strobl (January 22, 1942 - July 21, 2007) was an Austrian-Canadian sound engineer in film and television. 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. Moving to Canada in 1972 after meeting Louise Gariépy, he began working in film, first with Cinelume and later joining the National Film Board of Canada in 1979. 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.
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.
He died in 2007, having worked on over 400 films over the course of his career. He had two sons, re-recording sound mixer Bernard Gariépy Strobl and Cirque du Soleil engineer Olivier Gariépy.
