Kırkbinsinek is musically and intellectually influenced by the "Psychedelic" movement that emerged in the second half of the 1960s. Their music blends improvisation, makam and modes from Anatolian and world music, with their own unique psychedelic musical approach. The group took their name from a poem by Charles Bukowski, but they adopted it based on the sound created by forty thousand flies appearing in the same place at the same time, rather than the content of the poem.
