As a musician born and raised in Istanbul, he had participated with many successful rock bands and pop artists such as Model, Vega, 110 and played hundreds of shows with them all around Turkey. Being an official member of 110 and Model, he had gained recognition as a guitarist all over the country by his bands being at the top of the charts, getting numerous awards from respected organizations, countless TV and radio appearances and touring all over Turkey and some parts of Europe. After relocating to Los Angeles, he continued his career and joined the rising rock band Yard Of Blondes. The new line-up played in legendary venues in Los Angeles before the pandemic arose.

Burak Yerebakan has his own recording studio, which he calls “The Wakeful Room”, where he records, mixes and produces music for his projects and a number of independent artists from the local scene.

He experiments on trying to find modern and powerful audio textures using the combination of his collection of modular synths, analog outboard gear and an up-to-date library of various plug-ins to create a hybrid sound. Also focusing on creating different soundscapes with a guitar, he had been complimented after every show about how he uses a theremin with his guitar to create a rich swelling pad sound controlled by his hands moving in the air.

« As a producer I like to work with analog outboard gear and analog synthesizers as well as digital plugins. So it is a hybrid setup most of the time. Can’t make it without the eurorack modular synthesizers.

Prefers Barefoot MicroMain 27s for monitoring and Universal Audio UAD2 plugins for digital processing on the mixing side. »
