Daniel Licht and Mary Elizabeth McGlynn Live Show June 10!

Posted By: Whitney   May 17th, 2012 | 10:21 am

I got the heads up from Milan Records that Daniel Licht will have a live show at Largo in LA on June 10. He will perform the music of Dexter and cues from Silent Hill Downpour and
Books of Memories. Mary Elizabeth McGlynn (the voice of Silent Hill) will even join him on stage!

The tickets are only available for purchase online here:

When: Sunday 06/10/12 8:00 PM (Doors open at 08:00 PM)
Ticket Price: $30.00

NO LATE ENTRY * NO REFUNDS * NO EXCHANGES

Description: Don’t miss An Evening of Music from Dexter Composer Daniel Licht w/VERY Special Guests on Sunday, June 10. Tickets are available ONLINE ONLY. Doors open for drinks at 7pm, Showtime 8pm.

The night will be a celebration of the macabre when Daniel performs selections from his original music for Dexter using a musical palette of classical orchestrations combined with unusual sound elements. Daniel creates the score for Dexter by blending the sounds of wine glasses, duct tape, surgical tools, metal saws and scalpels with bone percussion instruments, world rhythm instruments and traditional instruments played in conventional and unconventional ways; all of these elements will be incorporated into the performance.

The concert will be introduced by award winning actor Michael C. Hall (Dexter). Also featured will be Dexter Main Title Composer Rolfe Kent with performances of his iconic main title theme and other scores. Other highlights include the premiere of Daniel’s music from the upcoming video game, “Silent Hill – Book of Memories,” performed by the Silent Hill series’ vocalist, Mary Elizabeth McGlynn. The concert will also feature surprise guest performances.

Sound like a fun night!

Still on the fence about purchasing the game? I’m compiling a link list of all the reviews as they come in here: Downpour Review Roundup

Silent Hill Downpour Soundtrack Review

Posted By: Whitney   March 7th, 2012 | 10:00 am

Daniel Licht’s Downpour soundtrack is a different beast from Akira Yamaoka’s previous Silent Hill scores. If you were hoping Licht would be Akira 2.0, blindly copying Yamaoka’s style and calling it a day you will be sorely disappointed. Instead, Licht an accomplished composer of his own right, blazes his own trail with Downpour’s soundtrack and the result is nothing like what we’ve heard before in a Silent Hill game.

Milan Records Releasing Book of Memories Soundtrack & More! [UPDATE]

Posted By: Whitney   February 22nd, 2012 | 9:51 am

Many of you are probably already aware this indie label is already releasing the upcoming Downpour soundtrack worldwide the 13th of next month. It turns out the company will also release a digital version of the Book of Memories soundtrack alongside the game’s March 27th release in the States and release the CD later on April 17th. The company also has plans to release Akira Yamaoka’s past soundtracks to Silent Hill Origins, Silent Hill Homecoming and Silent Hill Shattered Memories this year as well!

We are happy to announce the release of the full soundtrack to Silent Hill : Downpour worldwide on March 13, 2012.

The album will include the full score by Daniel Licht and the exclusive credit song, “Silent Hill” by Jonathan Davis of Korn.

Here is a preview tracks – Downpour: Intro and the US cover art to the album http://soundcloud.com/milanrecords/daniel-licht-downpour-intro

I thought this information would be of interest to the readers of Silent Hill Historical Society. We are also releasing on March 27, the soundtrack to Silent Hill: Book of Memories (music by Daniel Licht) and will release in 2012 also the soundtracks to Silent Hill 5, 6 and 7.

This is very exciting news! Shattered Memories and Homecoming soundtrack were offered as Gamestop pre-order bonuses but Origin’s soundtrack has never been available outside of Japan.

I really hope Milan Records will consider releasing the Silent Hill 1-4 and the movie soundtracks as well!

[Update]

Regarding “Book of Memories”, the album is coming out digitally on 3.27 and on CD on 4.17. The music is also by Daniel Licht.
