"...This
is great writing! Great composer! No question about it!..."
- Christopher Young, composer (The Uninvited, Spiderman 3, Lucky You, The Grudge 1 & 2, Runaway Jury, The Core, Bandits, Shipping
News, Swordfish,...)
"...In explaining its decision, the Jury observed that,'In
the movie God's Waiting List, the music is employed with an exceptional
subtlety, so that it is not only used as an ornament, but plays an
intrinsic and major role in the movie. Vincent Gillioz showed a great
flexibility to adapt his skill to the demand of the images. Audacious
and skillful, he ventured down different stylistic paths and showed
himself capable of covering a broad musical range. Gillioz's music
is as much flexible as touching. It is an excellent painting of the
environment, without artifice, true and modern in its musicality.
In brief, his artwork demonstrates great inspiration and extraordinary
creativity.' The jury also praised the exceptional professionalism
of his composition..."
- The Jury of the SUISA Prize, 58th Locarno International
Film Music Festival
"...At times, I would almost compare Gillioz's interesting, experimental atmospheres with those created by the great Ennio Morricone..."
- Jeff Hall, ScreenSounds
"...In the urgency of the independent film world, Vincent had
12 days to deliver an hour of music. Not only did he step up to the
plate, he delivered the most exquisite score one could ever imagine.In
a business of technicians, Vincent is an artist!..."
- Gino Cabanas, director (Cut Off, Silver,...)
"...Vincent truly understood the complex psychology of the characters when scoring Erosion..."

- Vincent's Mother
"...A fun and friendly guy who is a pleasure to work with and
who brings in an endless supply of fresh musical ideas. Vincent
has a knack for finding the essence of a character and for tying
him/her in to the overall arc of the story..."
- Gene Duffy, writer-director (Living With Uncle
Ray,...)
"...The movie holds an intelligently conceived score, with a lot of thought and creativity going into its creation..."
- Michael Beek, Music From The Movies magazine

stop working until I was thrilled with every single note..."
- Cartney Wearn, writer-director (Pray For Morning,...)
"...the fusion of his extensive musical knowledge and his European
heritage have been a blessing on our collaborations. We have explored
everything from Gregorian chant to eastern European atonal music
to Jazz..."
- Aaron Lindquist, writer-director (Made Incorrect,
A Simple Film,...)
"... a fascinating score with a rich sound design and a very compelling musical structure, nicely conceived and executed..."
- Randall Larson, Soundrax Columnist

notions of what the music should be, and by continuously introducing
new, sometimes unorthodox ideas, left me pleasantly surprised again
and again..."
- Boris Undorf, writer-director (Sonata,...)
"...It was great to work with someone as professional, and well -damn quick. Vincent's patience also was a thankful relief as we went through several iterations of the movie before finishing..."
- Stefan Avalos, writer-director (The Ghosts of Edendale, The Last Broadcast, The Game,...)
"...Vincent is exactly what I look for in a member of my creative
team: he's a collaborator. He brings a lot to the table and his
contributions are priceless..."
- Paul Tarantino, writer-director (Headhunter,
Courting Courtney,...)
"...Vincent's eclectic but coherent score that goes from a
string orchestra to a Jazz trumpet solo via distorted electric guitars,
played a major role in the storytelling without drawing attention
to itself..."
- Duane Adler, writer-director (Step up, Save The
Last Dance, God's Waiting List,...)
"...Since Vincent and I don't live in the same city. Vincent regularly uploaded the scored scenes on the internet, and then we would talk about them over the phone. I have been blown away by Vincent's score, and am still dazzled by the endless options the internet provides in the making of a movie..."
- Franz Josef Holzer, writer-director (L'écart, Deux,...)
"...Vincent worked on Tupilak until the very last minute. To tell the truth, he even insisted to reorchestrate the last piece in the plane that was taking us to Budapest for the recording sessions..."
- David Leroy, writer-director (Tupilak, Brutalos, Trifle,...)
