In Relocation, Yann Novak explores the
multitude of emotional states
experienced during and after the
relocation of oneÆs life. Utilizing his
unique technique of transforming a
simple environmental recording into
something emotional and visceral, Novak
creates three installations, each using
a different step of the moving process
as a point of departure. In all three
works, Novak alters the timbre of the
recordings but not the length. By doing
so he let the subtly changing character
of the original recordings dictate how
the pieces will unfold. The pieces are
spared formal compositional interjection
from the artist and allowed to exist in
the limbo between documentation and
composition.

"Striation, Erosion, Deformation,
Recollection: The Erased Field
Recordings of Yann Novak" by Christopher
