Sega's long-running sound studio is creating two record labels for its game music, among other things.
For about 15 years now, Sega's in-house sound studio, Wave Master, has been handling the company's console music and sound needs. Lately, they have been pursing audio jobs in anime and movie titles. Now Wave Master is looking to break into the music business with the creation of two new record labels.
Wave Master Entertainment will release music CDs that come out of Sega's studios, such as game, anime and movie soundtracks. The other new label, Wave Master Artists, will pursue popular Japanese artists and handle their new CD releases. This second label has already signed on Avex, who has done music for some Sega games in the past.
