Wierbos also maintains a solo career. He has a running project under
the name Wollos World, where he brings together different
artistic combinations, ranging from duos with tap-dancer Marije
Nie and bassist Wilbert de Joode to a quartet with Misha Mengelberg,
Mats Gustafsson and Wilbert de Joode. In the future Wollos
World hopes to feature such interesting musicians as Simon Nabatov,
Hamid Drake and Jim Black.

Wierbos can be heard on more than 100 CDs and LPs. He
has released two solo CDs: X Caliber (ICP 032, 1995), a round-trip
tour of his horn, from buzzing mute mutations, grizzly blurts and
purring multiphonics to radiant melodies, and Wierbos (DATA
824), a reissue of his 1982 solo LP with an additional track.
