New single ‘’Doğum/Birth revisited’’
Büşra Kayıkçı was introduced at an early age to artistic interests such as the piano, ballet and painting, and became fascinated with the work of classical and contemporary artists in a variety of fields. In 2011, having studied interior architecture and environmental design, and inspired by composers such as John Cage and Nils Frahm, she began to incorporate musical elements into her concept of design.
Over the years, Büşra became increasingly convinced that a composer is in fact following the same path as a designer: the materials might be different, but the principles are basically the same. Using all the techniques she had acquired, she devoted herself increasingly to designing sound, drawing on influences from her everyday environment to create minimalist and modern classical compositions.
The new digital EP ‘Eskizler/Sketches revisited’ marks her recording debut with Warner Classics. She has created new versions of five of her earliest works – music which has played a significant role in bringing her where she is today. Revisiting them and seeing them through today’s eyes, she is simultaneously looking back and looking forward.
After an initial series of concerts in Turkey, Büşra’s performing career has taken off internationally with exclusive live appearances in the UK and central Europe in 2022/23. Further international concerts will be announced soon. And a new album is already in the making – with release currently planned for late 2023.
