Some of his influences include Lou Harrison’s biography, the journal Xenharmonikon (which was for a time edited by Daniel Wolf), and Indonesian gamelan music (which inspired most of the scales Wyness crafted).

His current research in both stereo and multi-channel acousmatic composition focuses on the detailed investigation of the sound object and on the contrast and dialectic between overtly musical material on the one hand and mimetic material on the other.

His concert works, radio work and sound installations have been performed and presented throughout the UK, Europe and in North and South America.

He is currently studying part time towards a PhD in composition with Pete Stollery at Aberdeen University.
