James Wyness

James Wyness is a composer, radio artist and performer based in the Scottish Borders. His compositional work, based largely on recorded sound, is characterized by an articulation of musical structure through the evolution of long-form dense textures. His radio work explores the conceptual and social dimensions of radio, in particular ideas around sound, silence, and political constructions of voice and language, on how such constructions affect identity, and how channels of communication are controlled and directed. His work has been performed, exhibited and commissioned internationally.
