Drawing Music from David Moraton on Vimeo.
Some live footage of the presentation
In 2016 I was invited to participate in the Big Draw Steam Symposium to make a presentation about the role that drawing played in my art practice. At the time I was in New Zealand, so I had to make a video presentation that was projected in the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, London.

Einojuhani Rautavaara: RIP
I am so devastated to know about Einojuhani Rautavaara’s death…
My admiration for Einojuhani will always be alive, I will be eternally grateful for having had the chance to meet him, it will remain one of the most important moments of my life. As I have always felt our arts are vibrating by the same wavelength.
His Music will always exist inspiring and uplifting souls of present and future generations and my drive to honour his Art in a visual way has never been stronger. The second and third movement of “Cantus Arcticus” will have their visual equivalent.
RIP Maestro
