Wavelength - Brave Wave Productions: Recent Episodes
Brave Wave
In between producing, mixing and publishing hit chiptune albums, the Brave Wave team chats about its latest projects in this casual, laid back show. Episodes include interviews with notable Japanese composers as well behind the scenes of bringing licensed game music to the masses.
Mohammed Taher (Label Director) and Marco Guardia (Label Engineer) greets the new year by discussing their favorite games of 2020, then delving into the subject of writing in video games. Games mentioned in this episode include A Short Hike, Hades, The Last Campfire, The Pathless, The Last of Us Part 2, The Outer Worlds, and more.
Director Mohammed is joined by Digital Foundry's John Linneman to talk about video editing, the state of pro laptops, UI in strategy games, the Nintendo Switch, and videogame booklets.
Director Mohammed is back again with Marco and Ben to discuss the Nintendo Switch, from its philosophy and intended design to the way it could impact the market. We also talk about our purchasing habits and the modern market that lives on sales and "deals".

Director Mohammed is joined by Brave Wave's Project Manager and Resident Evil aficionado Alex 'cvxfreak' Aniel to briefly chat about his attendance at MAGFest with the Panzer Dragoon duo Saori Kobayashi and Yumiko Takahashi. The discussion then turns to the newly released Resident Evil 7, as both hosts have finished it twice before its official release date. Hint: it's pretty good.
We continue where we left off from last week's episode, this time focusing on The Last Guardian, The Witness, Inside, and various game design topics.
We return back after a long hiatus with a new format for the show. In the first half, Brave Wave directors Mohammed and Marco talk about Brave Wave's recent releases and announcements: Shovel Knight, Ninja Gaiden, and the upcoming solo album by Takahiro Izutani. For the second half, they're joined extensively by game developer Benjamin Rivers to discuss some of the highlights of the year in terms of game releases.
Brett and Alex discuss Brave Wave's latest album, Terra Magica. Panzer Dragoon Saga composer Saori Kobayashi returns with this beautiful new project!
After conducting a thorough - and rare - interview with Mega Man 2 composer Takashi Tateishi, Mohammed shares tidbits about said interview as well as his thoughts about the game itself. Then he and Brett discuss the Mega Man series in general and what its future may hold.
Games. books, movies, music, television, food, friends, work... how do we find time to enjoy all the things we love? Mohammed and Brett discuss how they tackle their backlogs, but we also want to hear your thoughts right here on the blog! We also briefly discuss MAGfest 2016.
Ever wonder how Japanese games are converted into English? Mohammed sits down with the talented team at 8-4 to talk all about the long - and absolutely crucial - process of localization.
After an extended discussion about Ninja Gaiden, we head to Japan to chat with composer Keiji Yamagishi himself. We cover not only Gaiden, but also Keiji's current and upcoming plans.
