Viktória Šinkorová is a Dublin-based composer, classical guitarist, free improviser, and early-career researcher from Slovakia. She collaborates extensively with other musicians, dancers, light designers, and filmmakers. She plays the Enner Night Frog synthesizer and is currently developing her skills in projection mapping and TouchDesigner.
In her interdisciplinary work, Viktória is particularly interested in establishing cohesive frameworks that encourage all participants to engage in collective exploration, with a focus on authorship and mutual contribution. Her collaborations aim to foster environments conducive to co-creation across disciplines. Her research draws on theories of authorship and intertextuality, leading her to explore expanded interpretations of symbols and signs. Viktória’s research reflects her interest in the complexities and processes of composed and improvised music-making, which she describes as interweaves.
Viktória has performed in venues and festivals including St Pancras Church (London), the Estonian Centre for Contemporary Music (Tallinn), Improtest (Tallinn), müriaadFEST (Tallin), Estonia Kontserdisaal (Tallinn), Den elektroakustiska konsertserien (Stockholm), Hagalunds vattenton (Stockholm), Jogjakarfest - International Jogja Karawitan Festival (Indonesia), and The Art Of Improvisation concert series (Hamburg).
