THE DANIEL LICHT COLLECTION - VOLUME 1は500枚限定リリース。
Dragon's Domain Records presents THE DANIEL LICHT COLLECTION - VOLUME 1, featuring music composed by Daniel Licht (DEXTER, DISHONORED, SILENT HILL) for two films from his extensive filmography.
Released in 1993, ACTING ON IMPULSE, also known as EYES OF A STRANGER, was written by Solomon Weingarten, Mark Pittman and Alan Moskowitz, directed by Sam Irvin (GUILTY AS CHARGED, ELVIRA'S HAUNTED HILLS), starring C. Thomas Howell, Linda Fiorentino, Nancy Allen, Judith Hoag, Tom Wright, Adam Ant, Paul Bartel, Patrick Bauchau, Isaac Hayes and Don Most. ACTING ON IMPULSE centers around actress Susan Gittes (Fiorentino), who is the star of many soft-core erotic thrillers. Susan believes she's being stalked by obsessive fans but can't get anyone to believe her. While on a brief shooting hiatus, she escapes to a local hotel unknown that someone has killed her producer and left him dead in her trailer. While she's away, she has a fling with Paul (Howell), who is a married man. Without warning, the stalking incidents increase and the dead bodies start piling up around Susan.
The music composed by Daniel Licht is a demonstration of his ability to compose for a variety of different styles, genres, and flavors. The score is an amalgam of rock and jazz fusion idioms backed by sultry soprano sax, electric guitars, electric bass, drums, mallet percussion, and keyboards.
Airing on the USA Network in 2000, CABIN BY THE LAKE was written by David Stephens, directed by Po-Chih Leong (THE JADE PENDANT), starring Judd Nelson, Hedy Burress and Michael Weatherly. CABIN BY THE LAKE tells the story of Stanley Caldwell (Nelson), a reclusive screenwriter who murders women for research on a new screenplay where the villain imitates his real-life actions. Caldwell kidnaps unsuspecting females and chains them to the floor of his cabin outside of LA while he prepares for their ritualistic drowning. He serves them a meal, washes their clothing, and leaves them to bathe. Tethered to a cement block, each victim is cast into the lake and left to drown. The following day Caldwell dons scuba gear, swims to their grave, and “tends to his garden” of corpses. In 2001, a sequel was produced, RETURN TO CABIN BY THE LAKE.
Fans of the composer's work could interpret his tongue-in-cheek music for CABIN BY THE LAKE as a dry run for the music he would later write for DEXTER. But the film also allows Licht the opportunity to use an elegiac female choir and ethnic flute to accentuate the allure of the underwater scenery.
Daniel Licht grew up in suburban Detroit and started playing clarinet when he was only eight years old. He transitioned to guitar four years later and began his musical career strumming a six-string in small jazz ensembles at nightclubs throughout The Motor City. Upon graduating high school, Licht attended Hampshire College in Massachusetts studying composition, jazz, and world music. He then pulled up stakes and moved to the Lower East Side in New York City to further his career as a musical artist. After a brief stint in northern Europe scribing scores for theatre, dance companies and advertising agencies, Licht relocated to Los Angeles to pursue film scoring.
A jack-of-all-trades composer and multi-instrumentalist, Licht scribed scores for film productions including CHILDREN OF THE CORN II: THE FINAL SACRIFICE, TICKS, HELLRAISER: BLOODLINE, THINNER, BAD MOON and for television, JAKE IN PROGRESS, BODY OF PROOF, DEXTER and THE RED ROAD before establishing a name for himself in the videogame industry with scores for SILENT HILL: DOWNPOUR, SILENT HILL: BOOK OF MEMORIES, DISHONORED, DISHONORED: DUNWALL CITY TRIALS and DISHONORED 2.
Sadly, Daniel Licht passed away on August 2, 2017 at his home in Topanga, California, at the age of sixty, an incredible talent taken far too soon.
Dragon's Domain Records presents THE DANIEL LICHT COLLECTION - VOLUME 1, featuring the premiere releases of music composed by Daniel Licht for ACTING BY IMPULSE and CABIN BY THE LAKE. The liner notes are written by author and composer Brian Satterwhite. The music has been mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland.

ダニエル・リヒトが彼の幅広いフィルモグラフィーの中から世界初リリースとなる『ACTING ON IMPULSE』と『キャビン・バイ・ザ・レーク 沈黙の湖』2作品のために作曲した音楽を収録した『THE DANIEL LICHT COLLECTION - VOLUME 1』がリリース！
トラックリスト『ACTING ON IMPULSE』はソロモン・ワインガーテン、マーク・ピットマン、アラン・モスコウィッツ脚本、サム・アーヴィン監督（『タイム・トゥ・ダイ／闇の処刑人』『帰ってきたエルヴァイラ』）、C・トーマス・ハウエル、リンダ・フィオレンティーノ、ナンシー・アレン、ジュディス・ホーグ、トム・ライト、アダム・アント、ポール・バーテル、パトリック・バウハウ、アイザック・ヘイズ、ドン・モストが出演。『ACTING ON IMPULSE』は、ソフトコアなエロティック・スリラーの主演女優スーザン・ギテス（フィオレンティーノ）を中心に描かれる。スーザンは、自分が執拗なファンにストーカーされていると信じているが、誰にも信じてもらえない。短い撮影休止期間中、彼女は何者かにプロデューサーが殺され、トレーラーに遺棄されたことを知らずに地元のホテルに逃げ込む。留守中、彼女は既婚者のポール（ハウエル）と関係を持つ。前触れもなくストーカー事件が増え、スーザンの周りには死体が山積みになっていく。
ダニエル・リヒトが作曲した音楽は、さまざまなスタイル、ジャンル、テイストに対応する彼の作曲能力を示すものだ。ソプラノ・サックス、エレキ・ギター、エレキ・ベース、ドラムス、マレット・パーカッション、キーボードをバックに、ロックとジャズ・フュージョンのイディオムが融合している。
2000年にUSAネットワークで放映された『キャビン・バイ・ザ・レーク 沈黙の湖』は、デヴィッド・ステファンズ脚本、『THE JADE PENDANT』のポー・チー・レオン監督、ジャド・ネルソン、ヘディ・バレス、マイケル・ウェザリー主演。『キャビン・バイ・ザ・レーク 沈黙の湖』は、悪役が自分の実生活を模倣した新作脚本のリサーチのために女性を殺害する、引きこもりの脚本家スタンリー・コールドウェル（ネルソン）の物語。コールドウェルは無防備な女性を誘拐し、ロサンゼルス郊外の山小屋の床に鎖で繋ぎ、その間に儀式的な溺死の準備をする。コールドウェルは女性に食事を与え、衣服を洗濯し、入浴させる。セメントブロックにつながれた犠牲者は、湖に投げ込まれ、溺死させられる。翌日、コールドウェルはスキューバ・ギアを身につけ、彼らの墓まで泳ぎ、死体の「庭の手入れ」をする。2001年には続編『キャビン・バイ・ザ・レーク リターンズ』が製作された。
リヒトの作品のファンなら、『キャビン・バイ・ザ・レイク』の毒舌音楽は、のちに『デクスター』のために書き下ろした音楽の予行演習だったと解釈できるだろう。しかしこの映画では、リヒトがエレガントな女声合唱団と民族的なフルートを使い、水中風景の魅力を際立たせる機会も与えられている。
ダニエル・リヒトはデトロイト郊外で育ち、わずか8歳でクラリネットを始めた。その4年後にギターに転向し、モーター・シティ中のナイトクラブで小さなジャズ・アンサンブルで6弦をかき鳴らし、音楽家としてのキャリアをスタートさせた。高校卒業後、リヒトはマサチューセッツのハンプシャー大学で作曲、ジャズ、ワールド・ミュージックを学んだ。その後、音楽アーティストとしてのキャリアを積むためにニューヨークのロウアー・イースト・サイドに移り住んだ。北欧で演劇、ダンス・カンパニー、広告代理店のために楽譜を書く仕事を短期間経験した後、リヒトはロサンゼルスに移り住み、映画音楽の作曲を追求した。
何でもこなす作曲家であり、マルチ・インストゥルメンタリストでもあるリヒトは、『スティーブン・キング／死の収穫』、『ティックス』、『ヘルレイザー４』 、『スティーヴン・キング／痩せゆく男』、『バッドムーン』テレビでは『ボディ・オブ・プルーフ 死体の証言』、『デクスター ～警察官は殺人鬼』などを手掛けた後、『SILENT HILL: DOWNPOUR』、『SILENT HILL: BOOK OF MEMORIES』、『DISHONORED』、『DISHONORED: DUNWALL CITY TRIALS』、『DISHONORED 2』などでビデオゲーム業界の名声を確立した。。
残念なことに、ダニエル・リヒトは2017年8月2日、カリフォルニア州トパンガの自宅で60歳の若さで逝去、驚くべき才能があまりにも早くこの世を去った。
