Quest Master arriving to Helsinki in 2 weeks

Australian dungeon synth project QUEST MASTER will play in two weeks in Helsinki. The concert will be at the venue Kuudes Linja (Helsinki) on January 30. This project is helmed by Lord Gordith, whose music is a vibrant tapestry woven with influences from classic fantasy film scores and early electronic music pioneers. His affinity for artists and composers such as Vangelis and Enya shines through in his ethereal soundscapes, characterised by lush synthesisers and ambient textures.

QUEST MASTER burst onto the underground ‘dungeon synth’ scene with the release of “Lost Songs of Distant Realms” (2017) a two-volume nostalgic soundtrack evocative of a lost 90s RPG. This debut work was crafted using the classic digital tones of Yamaha and Casio keyboards, capturing the essence of an era defined by pixelated adventures and chiptune melodies. Following this impressive introduction, he continued to enchant listeners with “The Twelve Castles” (2020) and “The Twelve Temples” (2021). These albums maintained the nostalgic 90s keyboard tones, while incorporating a refined focus on FM Synthesis. The compositions in these releases drew heavily from the soundtracks of early N64 and PSX games, channeling the epic, exploratory spirit of those classic consoles.

QUEST MASTER unveiled a new chapter in its discography with “Sword & Circuitry”  (2023). This album marked a significant departure from the RPG and classic video game-inspired dungeon synth that characterised Lord Gordith’s earlier work. Unlike his previous records,  this one was a gloriously lush and immensely ethereal affair, diving deep into the rich sounds of 80s synthesiser music. The special guest for the evening will be Finnish atmospheric/ambient one-man project JÄÄPORTIT.
