QUEST MASTER is fantasy synthesizer music from Sydney, Australia - burst onto the underground ‘dungeon synth’ scene with “Lost Songs of Distant Realms” [2017, Out of Season] - a two volume nostalgic soundtrack to a lost 90s JRPG crafted with classic digital tones from Yamaha and Casio keyboards.
These debut releases were followed up by the sister albums “The Twelve Castles” and “The Twelve Temples” [Out of Season, 2020/2021], again using classic 90s keyboard tones and an added focus on FM Synthesis, these albums draw heavily from the soundtracks of early N64 and PSX games.
The next chapter of QUEST MASTER’s evolution, titled “Sword & Circuitry” [2023, Out of Season / Urge Records], marked a significant departure from Lord Gordith’s seminal back catalogue of RPG and classic video game inspired dungeon synth. Unlike their previous records, “S&C” is a gloriously lush and immensely ethereal affair, diving deep into 80’s synthesiser music. These songs possess a magick that will surely grip you with soaring synthesizers and captivating melodies.
2025’s “Obscure Power” [Out of Season] further builds upon the sonic blueprint of ‘Sword and Circuitry’, expanding the Quest Master universe by incorporating influences from 90’s electronica. Blending the atmospherics and pulsing rhythms of that era with the signature Quest Master sound, the result is a richly textured and immersive soundscape that propels the listener deeper into the heart of the Quest Master’s mystifying realm.
