- Long before he went to Paris (1931) - together with the dancer Indradev - to study Indian music and dance, Van Hoboken was deeply interested in Oriental philosophy and music. After leaving Paris in 1935, they both went to India to study some of the main styles of music and dancing on location. Back in the Netherlands (193-9), Van Hoboken was employed by the transcription department of the Wereldomroep (World Service), where he arranged music and prepared programs, for instance about Rabindranath Tagore and Gandhi. He continued to give public performances, with which he had started already in Paris, in India and later in the Netherlands. For this purpose he also adapted Sanskrit texts for performance on the Dutch stage. Van Hoboken visited India and Ceylon once more in 1967, taking material back home with him.
- In the later years of his life his collection of books, old records and manuscripts has been gradually incorporated into the collection of Felix van Lamsweerde.
