[1] Morykit was born in Northampton to a Ukrainian father and Italian mother, who were both displaced from their respective countries after World War II.

In 2007 he was commissioned by the Scottish Consul General of Ukraine to write a piece to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Holodomor.

The resulting collaboration with choreographer, Steinvor Palsson, was a dance film, Portrait of Evil.

[5][6] In 2014, Morykit created and performed a two-hour score to accompany the classic science fiction silent Metropolis.

[11] The piece was first performed in Perthshire,[12] and later Morykit toured the UK, Europe and Canada, returning to Wilton's Music Hall in London on several occasions.
