Aaron Novik (born July 21, 1974) is an American composer, clarinetist and bandleader based in San Francisco. He is involved with the Bay Area Improv Scene and is a member of Edmund Welles The Bass Clarinet Quartet [1] which was a 2004 recipient of a New Works Creation and Presentation grant from Chamber Music America.[2] Novik has appeared in San Francisco and New York City[3] with guitarist Fred Frith re-creating his 1980 avant-garde dance album, Gravity.

Novik's most recent album Secrets of Secrets[4] was released on John Zorn's[5] Tzadik Records[6] in February 2012 as part of the Radical Jewish Culture Series.[7] Secrets of Secrets[8] was hailed by The East Bay Express as "enticing" and "ferociously executed"[9] and by The Jewish Week as "richly textured and eclectic avant-klez" for its use of the 13th century sacred Kabbalah texts of Rabbi Eleazar of Worms.[10] His second most recent album, Floating World Vol. 1[11] was released on the Porto Franco Record label in 2011.[12][13] Albums The Samuel Suite, Simulacra and Kipple were released on the Evander label.[14]
