Vic collabrated with many remarkable artists, including Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Guy Picciotto (Fugazi), Van Dyke Parks and Thee Silver Mt. Zion, and released his works on Montreal label Constellation Records. Do get to know his music here, and buy some of his music here.

"In the few short years that we knew him personally, Vic transformed our sense of what true character, grace and determination are all about," said the founders of Constellation Records. "Our grief is inexpressible and Vic's absence unfathomable."
