Daniel Licht grew up in suburban Detroit and attended the Roeper School, as well as summer school at Berklee School of Music in Boston. He started playing music at the age of eight with his first instrument being the clarinet. He took up the guitar four years later. He began his musical career while still in high school playing guitar with a small jazz ensemble at clubs in the area. Following high school graduation, he attended Hampshire College in Massachusetts and graduated in composition, jazz and world music. Licht moved to New York City and established himself as a musical artist in the Lower East Side creative music scene. He would travel to Germany, the Netherlands and Northern Europe to perform and compose music for theatre and dance companies. He created scores for such companies as Mercedes Benz, Sony and AT&T.
He then moved to Los Angeles and pursued a career in film scoring, at the suggestion of his former classmate, Christopher Young. His first major project was the 1991 feature film Children of the Night. His composition earned him his first soundtrack CD release. He soon became spotted by macabre director, Clive Barker and would compose for several of his films.
Licht scored all seasons of Dexter, which he considered to be one of his "more visible projects" but was reluctant to refer to it as his big break.
From 2012 to 2015 he was the main composer of the Silent Hill video game series, replacing Akira Yamaoka, until Konami decided to pull away from the home console video game industry, effectively ending the Silent Hill series. He also composed the soundtrack for the 2012 video game Dishonored and its sequel.

I feel this is the most creative track in the soundtrack album. I was pleasantly surprised to hear the use of the sarangi and tabla.
Rita : "Damn, I hope they catch the Bay Harbor Butcher. Have a good day honey!"
Dexter to himself : "Make up your mind"
:-)

Without a doubt this track is a representation of Dexter's cunningness

This track makes me feel
Homesick and sad
Idk why but I really love that sensation
And it motives me to re watch Dexter one more time!

This show has a wonderful soundtrack list! These songs make the show a little ironic for me! BEAUTIFUL! :D Perfect! :)

This track makes me think of a person turning over a new leaf from a very dark past or a second lease on life. I think it plays after dexter writes the manifesto and the entire lab is in caos chasing fruitless leads. It also plays when the ice truck killer is making new legs for his victim tony tucci and they have no idea itk is the prostetics doctor. Great track set perfect for the theme.
