LISTEN


On today’s episode of music/Maker with Tyler Kline, Tyler is joined by composer and pianist Beyza Yazgan.


Beyza is a Turkish pianist, composer, and multidisciplinary artist whose work blends her cultural roots with global influences, improvisation, and visual storytelling. Her 2024 album Human Cocoon was selected as The Guardian’s contemporary album of the month, and she continues to expand her artistic practice across multiple disciplines while based in New York City.


In this conversation, Beyza shares how improvisation opened the door to her work as a composer, how her Turkish upbringing and experiences in New York shape her creative voice, and how mindfulness informs both her music and visual art. She and Tyler also discuss learning to quiet the inner critic, trusting instinct, and how even small acts of creation can offer quiet forms of resistance.
