His music has been released by such labels as Mute Song, Important Records or Ici D’ailleurs. Although the creator is sometimes compared to Max Richter or Jóhann Jóhannsson, his style is completely original.

and Rite of the End, in addition to enthusiastic reviews in the international press, was also selected as the 2017 Best Album in Poland and brought the artist a nomination for a Polityka Passport Award. One of the reviewers noted that “if Wesołowski had lived in the 19th century, he would have been in music history textbooks”.

Wesołowski’s pieces have been performed by the Warsaw Philharmonic, Orquesta Sinfónica de Entre Ríos in Parana (Argentina) and Szczecin Philharmonic. In 2024, he presented new music for the film The Passion of Joan of Arc by Carl Theodor Dreyer, performed live by the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir.
