About Me

Labo Orchestra has decided to create this page as a homage to Edgar Novak. We are currently setting up the website edgarnovak.com where youll be able to find out more information on his upcoming album, his music and him as an artist.Edgar was born in Eastern Europe in the late seventies (nobodys certain but its around 77). He lost his parents very young. He went to New York around 94 after having spent much time in Europe under different pseudo in diverse bands. He was considered as being very mysterious. Not many people met him in person and he spent all of his time doing music (he never released a record despite recording 3 albums as he didnt like the labels commercial approach). Just when Universal persuaded him to record an album which would propel him to international status, he had a very serious car accident and used this to disappearno one knew what became of him.Anyway, he finally resurfaced and is currently working on an album with Labo Orchestra in Paris, (he describes it as American music with a French touch). You will soon be able to hear some of his songs in the French film La Jungle which will be released on july,12 2006.He refuses to appear publicly and will only be seen live on stage. He doesnt feel ready for the moment. We are looking for copies of recordings from his New York period (Rope Mind, Starlight and Hyperlove), but they are difficult to come across. We are very interested in being contacted by any of you who may possess a copy.Anyway, we are really very psyched to have him recording with us again, and we're sure that all of you who remember him will be thrilled to hear his new stuff.
