Omer Akalin is a producer, bass player and builder of sound producing devices who lives in Istanbul. He performs both solo and in collaboration with other musicians, exploring various avenues in music. He has a keen interest in understanding how things work, but has also come to realize that knowing isn’t strictly cerebral; he believes this to be the case with music among other things. One time he was offered roasted marmot out of a plastic bag in Mongolia, but he didn’t know what it was at the time. Now he is a vegetarian.
