television series Dexter. The album was released on August 28, 2007, on CD and download from the iTunes Store. The album was also released to music streaming services, such as Spotify
.

Production and musical content

The album contains 25 tracks over 1 hour and 4 minutes. Track 1 is the opening theme by

saz, and tambour, set to an Afro-Cuban beat. Licht's original themes are based around a mixture of Latin and electronic music, reflecting Dexter's warm and cold elements.[2]

The well-known "Blood Theme", played during the credits on every episode, uses a combination of

H.P. Lovecraft's: Necronomicon (in "The Library, part 1" segment), also composed by Daniel Licht, before being later enriched and expanded for use in the TV Show "Dexter".[3] Most composings of the original soundtrack have a similar intention and instrumentation, features a common use of harp, strings, piano
and a bright variety of percussion sounds.
