In describing Silent Hill: Downpour, Daniel Licht stated, “I’m inspired by the mood and the story. I came up with a sound world that I feel amplifies and augments the player’s experience. I incorporated numerous instruments including piano, mandolin, and industrial sounds.”

Silent Hill: Downpour starts as Murphy Pendleton, the game's main character, finds himself lost and alone in the woods after his prison transport bus crashes near the town of Silent Hill. What happens after is up to the player as they traverse an all new Silent Hill environment that is expansive, yet claustrophobic. And though this sleepy town may feel desolate, the player is never truly alone.

Daniel Licht has built a solid reputation for his unique scoring approach combined with sound design. Licht’s eccentric techniques create an anxious and fearful environment for his most notable work, Emmy Award winningDexter. Licht’s scoring, described as “eerie,” employs diverse techniques including playing instruments upside down, sideways, as well as with human bones.

Daniel Licht got his musical start in independent films with Stephen King’sThinner. After scoring Splendor for Gregg Araki, he went on to score Cowboy Upfor Academy Award winning director Xavier Koller. He has also collaborated with director Alex Cox and was commissioned to work with actor and producer Ben Stiller.
