Baris Kapiyoldas is a Turkish composer, multi-instrumentalist, and vocalist based in Istanbul.
His work centers on piano-led, modern classical writing—clear, restrained, and cinematic in tone.
He favors compact forms and memorable motifs built for repeat listening, with production choices that keep the piano intimate and natural.
Alongside his instrumental releases, he also develops band-driven projects where he performs and produces every part himself, translating the same emotional world into a rawer grunge/rock setting.
All releases appear under his independent imprint, Sonataforge Records, which emphasizes thoughtful, design-led presentation—maintaining a cohesive visual identity and a consistent focus on craft across both the cinematic and performance-focused sides of his work.
