From Reality TV to Art: Mira’s Conceptual Debut EP "Behind the Scenes" – Produced by WAIN

Following her breakout success as a finalist on Israel’s “The Next Star” (HaKokhav HaBa), singer Mira Azriel solidified her artistry with her conceptual debut EP, “Behind the Scenes.” Moving beyond the standard singles format, this project was meticulously produced, mixed, and mastered by WAIN (Ofir Wainboim) to be experienced as a continuous emotional journey, demonstrating his role as a musical architect shaping the entire sonic landscape.

“The goal was to create something you listen to from start to finish,” the production team explains. “The 'Between' interludes are the glue. WAIN’s production turned a collection of songs into a complete narrative.”

WAIN’s Critical Role as Musical Architect Behind the EP

Every track on “Behind the Scenes” is connected through a deliberate structure, showcasing WAIN’s high level of creative leadership. He handled the full production, mixing, and mastering, ensuring that each song seamlessly flows into the next. By designing a continuous listening experience rather than a random collection of singles, WAIN demonstrates expertise that goes beyond standard pop production.

His vision transformed Mira’s raw vocal talent into a cohesive cinematic soundscape, guiding listeners on an emotional journey that mirrors the arc of a live performance. From intimate piano driven moments to expansive anthemic choruses, WAIN’s production decisions give each song purpose while maintaining the EP’s overarching narrative.

A Conceptual Approach: Interludes and Songs Forming One Continuous Story

“Behind the Scenes” breaks conventional pop norms by weaving core tracks like “Tell Your Story,” “Confess,” and the title track “Behind the Scenes” together with atmospheric interludes titled “Between.” These interludes act as transitions, connecting different emotional states and transforming the EP into a single, continuous experience.
