Victor Chorobik
designer, composer, multi-instrumentalist

Victor Chorobik is a designer, multi-instrumentalist and composer whose music converges many cultures and styles. Originally from Poland, he graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow before coming to Vancouver in the early 1980s. His visceral sound experiences draw on many musical influences including jazz, classical, rock and world music. He uses acoustic instruments and digital technology like a palette of colors and paints musical pictures that alternately probe and haunt, soothe and uplift. Victor combines his passion for music and world culture with strong visual perception and an instinctive sense of story that comes from his work as a multimedia and exhibit designer to compose storyscapes in music.

His credits include:

  • Soundtrack for multimedia show: 'Himalayan Visions, Tibetan Voices' with SEVA Organization and Brian Harris
  • Film score, for the films 'Generation of Wisdom' and 'Boundless Light - the People of Tibet' with Geoff Browne
