With Detective Grimoire – The Mermaid Mask Alhambra Records releases the soundtrack to the fourth installment of the popular adventure series. After a lengthy development period the latest game in the series in which Detective Grimoire and his partner Sally once again investigate a mysterious death was released in 2026: Magnus Mortuga, the captain of a submarine, died under unexplained circumstances.

For the music composer Raphael B. Meyer once again enlisted the Budapest Art Orchestra, this time augmented by the Budapest Art Choir. The score blends Elf-manesque timbres with Meyer's distinctive musical style, particularly due to his characteristic use of flutes.

We hope you enjoy listening. The booklet accompanying the CD edition includes a description of the music for The Mermaid Mask, short biographies of the main characters and a portrait of the composer Raphael B. Meyer.

Alhambra Records has been supporting the series for several years. The first installment Detective Grimoire was released in 2007 as a Flash game and featured a more traditional prototype score. Beginning with the next installment, Raphael B. Meyer—known among other things for his music for the SRF series The Undertaker —took over the musical direction of the series. Detective Grimoire: Secret of the Swamp (2014) was a first score which featured a small ensemble. Excerpts from this score were later released on the 3-CD set Raphael Benjamin Meyer – Music for Games, Film, Television and Concert Hall (A 9058) ( CD 3, Tracks 1–6 ) along with music from the SFB game Haunt the House – Terrortown (2013, Tracks 7–14 ). The strong response to the music led to a significantly larger recording budget being available for subsequent productions.

In 2019 Tangle Tower was released which marked the next musical step in the series. The soundtrack was recorded with the Budapest Art Orchestra under the direction of Peter Pejtsik.
