Morykit started playing the piano at five under the tuition of Christina Griffin and later, Graham Mayo. He won the prize for best original composition at the National Student Drama Festival in 1977 when Sebastion Graham Jones first recommended the prize. He moved to Edinburgh and worked with dancers, film makers and poets. He has often worked on pieces that reflect injustice in the world. In 1996 he worked with the poet, Angus Calder,  to create a performance, Dungeons to the Sky. This was performed live for the Commonwealth Head of States visit to Edinburgh and was funded by Amnesty International to commemorate prisoners of conscience.  In 2007 the Scottish Consul General of Ukraine commissioned a commemorative piece for the 75th anniversary of the Holodomor. Morykit worked with the choreographer, Steinvor Palsson, to create a dance and music piece, Portrait of Evil, which was later filmed. In 2016 he was noted for his involvement with the protest video Donald Trump does Boehmian Rhapsody, where with Brian May's permission, he transferred the entire Bohemian Rhapsody music to piano for a video in support of the residents of Menie Estate in Aberdeen.

He has gained recognition across the world for his orginal compostions and in 2014 he began touring a concert of his music to sit alongside Fritz Lang's classic film Metropolis. This received great acclaim and he was then asked to create a new score for Murnau's Nosferatu. This was premiered at the 14th C Leicester Guildhall at Halloween in 2015 and still tours extensively including a special performance for the Baltic Film and Media School in Tallinn, Estonia in 2017.
