Büşra Kayıkçi - Places (2023) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

"In a way, as a composer, I design a place, and the audience* walks around in it, moves around in its architecture."

Büşra Kayıkçı's new album "Places" is a continuation and deepening of her first compositional sketches and studies from 2019. Kayıkçı's approach on this album is in a certain way synesthetic - or in other words, her idea of combining music and architecture goes far beyond purely interdisciplinary thinking.

The pieces on "Places" follow principles that Büşra Kayıkçı has transferred from architecture to her compositional work: In order to design a space coherently, she first learned to select the colors, shapes and materials, and then combine them. In her music, she defines harmonies, melodies, themes and motifs, form and tonal material as modulable set pieces in the same way, in order to combine them, weigh them against each other and bring them into balance. "I always compose at the piano," Kayıkçı says. "And I don't write down a piece until it's finished." She didn't even jot down individual ideas for the pieces on "Places" immediately, but waited to see what she remembered the next morning: "What's still in my head then is the path I can take with the piece."
