I imagined John Blanke as  Olori Orin a Yoruba head of music, a musician and inventor of brass instruments invited to Britain to teach how these instruments are made and played. He and his family made and constructed these instruments with such skill he spent many years touring the world sharing his talents and cultures across the lands. 

It's been an honour to be a part of this project and I hope my work would make Olori Orin proud.
