Inspired by modern classical composers such as John Cage and Michael Nyman, Kayıkçı wrote his first works in 2019, just before the covid pandemic began. In November of the same year, he released his single “Birth” and then his album “Eskizler”, consisting of nine minimalist solo piano pieces. His subsequent digital singles included: ‚Danube’ (released 2020), recorded in Hungary on the Una Corda instrument built by piano maker David Klavins; Created in collaboration with an Istanbul-based fashion brand and inspired primarily by the brand’s Showroom located in Istanbul’s iconic Galata district, which has hosted people of many different identities, cultures and religions for centuries, ‘Kuledibi No.’ 1′ and ‚Qarib‘, which appears on the first Piano Day compilation published by Nils Frahm’s Leiter Verlag in 2022.

Stating that he wants to use music to create spaces where the soul of the listener can emerge, Kayıkçı’s following statement in which he described his art drew attention: “I have great respect for the classics. But they are already there! I want to use the language of new classical music to speak to people again in the 21st century! In a way, as a composer, I design a space, and the listener wanders around in it and moves within its architecture. I believe that we travel from space to space and from time to time while listening to a song. When a melody touches you deeply, you can experience a place with your mind and soul.”
