Kayip is a composer who is interested in capturing spaces which do not actually exist through sound, and has been working on music that focuses on the texture and tone of sound itself rather than melody. Recently, he has worked as a programmer and media artist, and has been working on reinterpreting existing spaces through sound and its visualizations. He majored in contemporary music at the Birmingham National Conservatory and the Royal Conservatory. He was selected by Brian Eno to take charge of arranging and editing the 40th anniversary performance of the Apollo Moon landing at the London Science Museum in 2009. He won the Aberdeen Music Prize for writing a new orchestral song for the BBC Scottish Symphony. From 2007 to 2010, he was selected as a composer for the UK's contemporary music support organization, “Sound and Music”.
