Catalogued output
Compositions
The entries below are works composed by the subject, as the institutional registers catalogue them; later performances and commercial recordings of the same music are listed separately. 45 further compositions are catalogued under Wøllo's name without a date the collections agree on, which is why they are set apart from the dated run rather than placed in it. A selection is set out below and the complete run may be opened beneath it.

Primary material
Issued recordings
These are published sound issues catalogued under the name. Most postdate the works they carry, and an issue is never counted here as a work of composition. 28 issues carry dates between 1983 and 2012. The run opens with Where It All Begins and closes with Traces • Images Of Light • Solstice (Special Remastered Editions - Three Disc Set). The 2000s are the densest part of the run, with 8 titles, and that concentration is a fact about what the registers have catalogued rather than a judgement on the work itself.

Recordings and discography
The discography assembled here shows how Wøllo's work has been published in sound, not what Wøllo made. 61 sound issues are catalogued, carrying dates from 1983 to 2026. An issue is a published recording, distinct from the composition it carries, from a printed score of that composition and from any single performance of it; none of the entries below is counted in the catalogue of compositions above, and several of them carry the same work in different readings. The 2010s are the densest decade of publication, with 27 issues. The performers and issuing labels are as the discographic register states them; where it names no performer the article names none.
