Wolosoff believes in 'the primacy of lyricism and melody,' and his inner voice guides his compositions rather than following trends.

Composer's Artistic Vision
The four 'Night Paintings' on the album reflect Wolosoff's deep connection to visual arts, a connection that began in his childhood when he was moved by Van Gogh's 'Starry Night'.
