EPISODE 20 - Mohammed Taher is out now! Ever wondered what the creative process of directing an music album looks like? Listen to the latest podcast episode with Mohammed from Brave Wave to learn all about it. We also talked about his newfound interest in investment, his quality standards for albums as well as how learning Japanese changed his relationship with Brave Wave's composers. We also touch upon his love for coffee, Evanescence and great album artwork.
Years ago, Mohammed was one of the first people from the games industry I ever interacted with. Really happy I could get him to come to the show. Pretty safe to say that without the wonderful people of Brave Wave, this podcast would have never existed in the first place. 🙏🏻
