Wesołowski has released two original albums. His debut record Kompleta was published in Poland in 2008 by Gusstaff Records/Pointa Foundation with the support of National Culture Centre. It was a work composed to breviary prayers and hymns for two voices, string quartet and electronics. A re-edition of the album in LP/CD/Digital formats was released and distributed worldwide in May 2015 by a French label Ici D’ailleurs.
 
Wesołowski’s next album Liebestod was first presented to the audience in October 2013 at Unsound Festival. Published by Important Records, the material was enthusiastically received by international critics. An influential American portal Indie Shuffle described the album as “ real dope”, a Canadian magazine Textura reviewed it as “provocative, surprising and moving” and a Dutch Caleidoscoop as a “breathtaking masterpiece”.
 
Wesołowski has also participated in a number of joint projects. For many years he closely collaborated with Jacaszek. He was the author of instrumental parts on the albums Treny, (Miasmah/Gusstaff 2008) and Pentral (Gusstaff 2009). Stefan Wesołowski is also an author of original music to numerous theatre plays, art installations and films.
 
His latest work is original soundtrack to Listen To Me Marlon – a BAFTA-nominated and OSCAR-shortlisted documentary film on Marlon Brando, produced by Universal and Passion Pictures for Showtime, which had its world premiere in January 2015 at Sundance Festival. TIME, Variety and Rolling Stone described the picture directed by Stevan Riley, as one of the highlights of the festival.
In 2014 Stefan Wesołowski signed a contract with a British publisher Mute Song. At the moment he has just finished his new album Rite Of The End which will be released in September 2016 as a collaboration between Ici D’ailleurs and Mute Song.
