2 min read

Brave Wave Productions is thrilled to announce several new additions to their star-studded talent roster. Composers Lena Raine (Celeste), Shinichi Sakamoto (Wonder Boy series), BUN BUN (Mega Man 3), Tee Lopes (Sonic Mania), and newcomer Fourge are joining forces with Brave Wave to provide increased accessibility to their music both by creators and listeners alike. To commemorate these exciting additions to the team, Fourge has released his musical debut, a highly textured ambient album titled Shifting Approximations of Solitude, which includes a set of cover arts unique for every track taken by label director Mohammed Taher around Switzerland’s Alpine highlands. The download also comes with six different 6K-resolution wallpapers from the same photo session. The album is available today:

“I wanted to take the listener through different worlds, throwing them into a vast and immersive diorama of sounds,” comments Fourge. “From close up and intimate mood setting to washed out soundscapes, the album takes the listener through all of the places a mind can possibly go. I hope people enjoy the final product as much as I did creating it over the past year.”

All the newly joined composers are working on exciting projects for Brave Wave, including new original tracks and game remixes for an upcoming mega-album, as well as new solo projects with other Brave Wave members. Tee Lopes is working on a solo album heavily inspired by legendary Japanese band YMO, and includes collaborations with Mega Man composer Manami Matsumae and Ninja Gaiden composer Keiji Yamagishi. Lena Raine is also planning her solo album with label director Mohammed Taher, featuring many beloved Brave Wave members. More details will be revealed throughout the year.
