Howlin' Wolf Records proudly presents a premiere double-bill release of Vincent Gillioz's original scores to SONATA (2004) and THE SAND (2015). Raised in Geneva, Switzerland, the composer currently lives in Los Angeles and is credited with scoring no fewer than 35 feature films. Having also accumulated numerous scholarships and awards throughout his career, including 9 best score awards, Vincent Gillioz is an internationally renowned composer. This is Howlin' Wolf Records' third project with the composer following LAST BREATH and COLLAPSE.

SONATA, starring Nicole DuPort and AnnieScott Rogers, and directed by Boris Undorf, is a claustrophobic thriller about a young woman, locked up in a house of secrets by an overprotective mother, who is visited by an enigmatic stranger. This music showcases Gillioz's early efforts, displaying his versatility and inventiveness in the psychological genre. THE SAND, starring Brooke Butler, Mitchel Musso, genre favorite Jamie Kennedy, and directed by Isaac Gabaeff, presents a thought-provoking contrast of musical styles. Gillioz brings a warm orchestral palette, with a touch of electronics, to accentuate the growing terror faced by teenagers stranded on a deadly beach. Both scores feature Gillioz's trademark melodic motifs, presenting a detailed yet cohesive listening experience.

Produced and annotated with liner notes by Benjamin Chee, this double feature is a limited edition of 500, with a 12-page full color booklet and beautiful art designs by Luis Miguel Rojas. For a limited time orders will include an additional insert booklet signed by composer Vincent Gillioz.
