Bobak Lotfipour

Biography

Bobak Lotfipour is a second-generation Iranian/Mexican American from Denton, Texas and currently lives and works as a composer and performance artist in Los Angeles, California. In 2016, while still working as a musician playing drums with the band, Dark Rooms, Bobak began his composing career assisting Daniel Hart with The Exorcist TV series leading him to relocate from Denton to Los Angeles to pursue a career in film and tv composition. Since then, he has had the opportunity to contribute additional music for a diverse range of productions, including David Lowry directed films A Ghost Story and The Green Knight, Hellraiser, Netflix Original Series The Society, and AMC+ Original Series Interview with the Vampire, before landing his first feature length documentary, King Coal (dir Elaine Sheldon). Bobak is best known for his handmade, experimental, percussive sounds using both traditional and nontraditional instruments and unconventional objects manipulated with effects. Although typically sought after for his unique percussive sounds, Bobak has been branching out into fuller compositional work, co-writing orchestral pieces for Interview with the Vampire. In addition to his composition work, Bobak continues to create solo work that can be described as ambient, meditative, experimental, electronic, intimate, and haunting. He also regularly performs sound bath meditations in the Los Angeles area.
