Eddy has enjoyed a long and varied career in the audio industry. He studied electronics engineering in Leuven, Belgium and spent his twenties working around Europe, both with proprietary sound systems and as a freelance engineer for music concerts, discos, fashion shows, tours, festivals, and other outdoor events. As a sideline he rigged touring systems and installation projects, including flying whale skeletons in the natural history museum in Paris, and designed his own rigging systems.
Eddy initially headed east to spend some time in Papua New Guinea, where he wound up handling the PA for a papal visit to Port Moresby in the early nineties. From here he worked for a PA company in Malaysia before traveling to Thailand to work for a production company on international acts, often handling entire Asian tours. He took care of technical co-ordination, production logistics, system design, monitor and system engineering, backline tech, rigging engineering and whatever else it took to get the show going.
Moving into the manufacturing domain, Eddy joined Crest Audio’s Asian office in Phuket, Thailand, as application and service engineer for the Asian and Pacific regions, where he set up service labs, trained engineers and performed onsite trouble shooting duties.
Some projects Eddy has worked on with include Planet disco install and
Anchol shows in Indonesia, an install at Pasir Ris in Singapore, the PATA show in Malaysia and Spaceship and Modesto clubs in Vietnam, as well as numerous projects in China including the Fountain Club,
National Games closing ceremony, the Three Tenors in Beijing, national soccer shows, Channel V Awards and the Chinese New Year CCTV show 2002.
