Wolfgang Webb creates music during the hours when most of the world lies dormant, harnessing the quiet darkness that fuels his soul. The half-Austrian, Canadian artist—who stepped away from the music industry decades ago to craft anonymous compositions for film and television—has once again channeled his insomnia into art with his sophomore album, ‘The Lost Boy’, out now.
His debut, ‘The Insomniacs' Lullaby’, introduced listeners to his haunting sonic landscape—brooding compositions that confront mortality, loss, and the ghostly echoes of trauma. With this new record, Webb plunges even further into these emotional depths, though he insists that darkness is not the destination but merely the path. ‘The Lost Boy’ explores the fragile act of reconnecting with one’s inner child and navigating the shadows of relationships that leave indelible marks on the psyche. It’s music born from sleepless nights—an echo of midnight fears and silent reflections—that paradoxically offers solace, reminding us that we are not alone in our darkest hours.
