"Steeped in Scottish panorama, ears-educator James Wyness brings theory and practice face to facearmed with a PhD in electroacoustic composition and keen on biological sciences, semiotics and anthropology, using field recordings as well as hand-made instruments, and found objects, he weaves detailed sonic universes & audio-environments attentive to timbres & spectra
these often acquire an extra dimension in the live context of installations & performances

Most of his works so far are self-releases, though he has some out on netlabels like Impulsive Habitat, Green Field Recordings, and also one on Gruenrekorderhe has recently set up his own structure and a further bunch of ltd edition releases is scheduled to appear on his Reekin Lum Records labelthrough the convergence of mutual interests, he is in the process of collaborating with Giancarlo Toniutti

stultifera navis has already had some public presentation during his 2013 Czech residency at my kolsk 28 in Prague

Deep down bubble barely visible lifeforms,
an unrecognized language of ridges and folds,
and sibylline marks

Once skimming the surface, theyre welcomed with wind moanings, trembling wires, and rustlings in interlaced layers

Dry wood, an entanglement of clear scratches and wild weed line old doors, like openings to dormant wonders

stultifera navis is a dense trip where the past lurks into the present, within the very heart of learning

an hamper of new found significances" [label info]
