In March of 2024, I was fortunate to be able to attend Northeast Dungeon Siege, a small music festival in Worcester, Massachusetts which is dedicated to the musical genre of Dungeon Synth. For those unfamiliar, the genre consists of fantasy ambient music largely performed via synthesizers. It takes its root from the instrumental interludes featured in Black Metal from the early 1990s. Unfortunately, I was not able to attend Northeast Dungeon Siege this year, as tickets sold out almost immediately (while it is still a niche musical genre, it is rapidly finding new fans, as evidenced by the quick ticket sales).One of the highlights for me from Northeast Dungeon Siege 2024 was Quest Master, an Australian dungeon synth artist, and much to my delight I learned he was going on tour in the United States in March of this year, and he was going to be stopping in Philadelphia. This tour was leading up to his return visit to perform in this year’s Northeast Dungeon Siege!
