Sound artist and Dragon's Eye Recordings label owner Yann Novak documents the emotional impact of the world around him by recording it. Through digital processing, he then hones in on the feelings of time and place that field recordings can evoke. While maintaining the naturally occurring composition of the original document, Novak reveals the delicate nuances of sound within the new context of evocative soundscapes. Since 2003, Novak has been intensely active in sound art and the music communities through performances, installations and recordings. Based in Seattle, Novak has performed at prestigious events and venues in the Pacific Northwest, including The Decibel Festival, and the Henry Art Gallery, among others. Internationally, he has performed at Mutek Festival (Montreal, QB), Blim (Vancouver, BC) and Legends (Manchester, UK). The versatile range of his work is also demonstrated by collaborations with visual artist Alex Schweder and with choreographer Crispin Spaeth, with whom he has scored three pieces: Dark Room (2006), Up Close (2005) and Fade Dis/Appearances (2005), the score of which received critical acclaim. Through these collaborations, Novak’s work has been featured at The American Academy in Rome (Rome, Italy), the TBA Festival (Portland, OR), Western Bridge (Seattle, WA), Howard House (Seattle, WA), and Suyama Space (Seattle, WA).

Yann! Wish I could just step out my door and walk to one of your shows like I used to. I'm taking a sabbatical from freelancing (again), but I've been enjoying everything on the label that you've sent me! I hope you are well and enjoying Spring/Summer in Seattle.
