Gocmen, who is interested in music since his early childhood, wrote his first composition in 1988. In time, his compositions and orchestration works were performed by many orchestras. In addition to his original compositions, Gocmen has studies on Turkish Folk Music and he wrote draft compositions on this theme.Suit for Solo Violin which is one of his works with famous violin virtuoso Cihat ASKIN, was composed during that period as a highly interesting and notable work. He added a different dimension to his music life by successfully completing sound recording and tonmaistership education at TRT Ankara Radio. He represented Turkey in various festivals abroad, using the patterns of traditional Turkish music with a contemporary expression in the works he wrote for orchestral and chamber music. Gocmen, who wrote works of classical as well as newage, composed music for documentaries, festivals and ads. He has also works for Modern Dance, in which he modernized folk dances with a contemporary view and arrangement. We see the name Gocmen for the first time on the album called "Miniatures from Kalan Music". Following this was his solo album, "Gocmen — The End", which is composed of his own compositions. The album, production of which was undertaken by Dogan Music Company (DMC), is a synthesis of Gocmen’s works and, in his words: "A Music of Anatolia". He performed with his symphonic and ethnic orchestra in Ephesus Antique Theatre in International Izmir Music Festival in year 2002. His contemporary Turkish folk music arrangements were added in State Opera and Ballet and Presidental Symphonic Orchetra repertoire in Ankara
