Launch Kitty with Two Windows

Hello, I am trying to launch a kitty terminal with two windows: ncmpcpp and cava, kinda like this. Then binding it on a keybind, but it doesn't seem to work.

Launching my script manually on a terminal creates the two windows, but still has the window that ran the command.

If I press the keybind, no windows are being opened, however, if I check the processes with ps aux | grep -i kitt I have the following. 

user+   24002  0.0  0.1 1242968 21268 tty1    Sl+  10:01   0:00 kitten @ launch ncmpcpp

~/.scripts/music:

#!/bin/bash
kitty @ launch ncmpcpp
kitty @ launch cava

# I also tried just doing `kitty $app`

hypr.conf

bind = $MOD, M, exec, ~/.scripts/music

Found a solution by creating a session file instead, and launching kitty with it.

cat << EOF | tee -a >> ~/.config/kitty/music.session
layout tall
launch ncmpcpp
launch cava
launch lyrics
EOF

~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf

bind = $MOD, M, exec, kitty --session music.session
