Şerban Stănciulescu
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Şerban Stănciulescu (b. 1947, Bucharest, Romania – d.1987, New York, United States) was a Romanian Anti-Communist dissident, audio engineer and disc jockey.
He was a graduate of the Electronics Department of the Polytechnic University of Bucharest. Stănciulescu worked as a sound engineer for the only movie studio in Romania at the time, the Buftea Movie Studios. Together with composer Ştefan Niculescu, he organized modern music lectures in Bucharest in the 1970s.
By writing an open letter to Radio Free Europe, he demanded to be allowed to leave Romania. After much bullying by the feared Securitate, the Romanian secret police, he was finally allowed to leave Romania in 1977.
He went first to the Federal Republic of Germany, where he worked as a disc jokey for Radio Free Europe.
Later on, he settled down in New York City, where he a collaborated as a sound engineer on certain modern jazz recordings by Jim Sauter, Donald Miller, and Don Dietrich at the AIMI recording studio.
