Hi there, my name is Omer Osman ("@oosaxx"). I am a sonic artist based in San Francisco, California. I create immersive sound experiences, based on my expertise as an Electrical Engineer across the United States and Germany. I can level up your live event by performing immersive electronic music.

My life
in Music
01
Foundation
Bass
Influenced by the sound of 20th century jazz artists, I began studying the Upright Bass during my undergraduate studies in Washington D.C. I had the opportunity to see world class artists at events hosted by the Smithsonian Institution. Eventually, I was able to perform in a quartet setting at a few Embassies around the District of Columbia. Once I moved to Germany, I continued to perform jazz and began to perform with classical orchestras. I was fortunate to have had the privilege to perform the world premiere of an unearthed piece composed by Anton Bruckner at the Meistersingerhalle in Nuremberg, Germany.
Harmony
Keyboard
I began learning to navigate through the keyboard. I was primarily interested in internalizing harmony and function in jazz. Eventually, I became more interested in using the keyboard to externalize harmonies I was innately perceiving through the combination of cultures I was exposed to during my early years. I continued to play the keyboard during my time living in Detroit.

Melody
Saxophone
To better grasp the flexibility offered by melodic instruments, I began learning the saxophone. Over time, I started to become more comfortable with the instrument, performing regularly around San Francisco.
Textures
Synthesizers
While having worked extensively in the audio field, I was primarily interested in acoustic instruments. A chance encounter with a Roland beat machine and sequencer ignited my interest. I was surprised at how easily I was able to manipulate the instrument to produce soundscapes that aligned with my background in tonal harmony.
