With the release of Silent Hill: Downpour slated for tomorrow, we’ve finally been able to catch some much sought after time with composer Dan Licht. Known best for his work on Showtime’s Dexter and for horror films including Hellraiser and Children of the Corn, Licht has been tapped to score Silent Hill: Downpour (and the upcoming Book of Memories) after the departure of series staple Akira Yamaoka.
Our discussion revolves around his preparation for scoring this Silent Hill title and his approach to this project as his first videogame.
