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.

Thanks Daniel Licht, and RIP.
@hsmith1180
OMG this is amazing. Yes the music was a big part of why this show is such a success. Michael C Hall & a blazingly good original story are another. Everything about this show was top class. But this little mashup of it's music is sheer genius. #RIP Dan Licht
@graybermann
Absolutely, the combination of music, script, characters and of course Michel C Hall was just the best of all time...

Here's a shootout for the unsung hero of the night, the sound editor guy(s). Thank you for your work so we could enjoy this masterpiece in all its brilliance.
