  Yann
Novak was born in Madison, WI in 1979. At an early
age, he became interested in the worlds of both music
and visual art.
He developed his primary medium, collage, via pieces
which combined found photographs with his own drawings,
and prerecorded LPs with loops and live instruments.
In the 1990s, Novak performed and exhibited his work
throughout the vibrant Madison café art scene.
In 2000, Novak moved to Seattle and refined his methods,
trading in found images for original photographs and
watercolors, and turntables and vinyl records for
a Mini Disc recorded and a laptop, in order to achieve
a more in-depth style of production. Novak has released
set of 5 limited edition 3-inch CDs "Three Inches
for Friends". In addition, he has produced two
film soundtracks, for "Learning" (which
he also produced), and "Neptune" (produced
by Brian Murphy). Both movies premiered at the Seattle
Lesbian and Gay Film Festival, in 2003 and 2004, respectively.
Novak's work has withstood a series of changes in
method while always retaining and refining the strengths
of his unique aesthetic, exploring the overlap and
intersection between presence and absence, art and
design, sound and music.
