orksNice texture overall, very listenable (mute-fuse)

Blessed (Whoever Gets You Next)

Everyday Pretender builds on a 5/4 jazz groove — a modern nod to Take Five — blending dreamy vocals, neo-soul warmth, and experimental R&B textures.

The vocal performance was created with Synthesizer V Mai², adding a soft, human-like tone that drifts between clarity and fragility.

The song tells of the quiet performances we give every day — the little acts of pretending that help us survive.

I wanted to capture that bittersweet balance between control and chaos, between what we show and what we truly feel.

An alternate mix with a brighter vocal tone (“Alt Mix”) is now available here:

Feel free to listen and compare both versions — each brings out a different mood.

🎧 Shiro98 Works – Instrumental & Soundtrack Portfolio

Composer and producer crafting cinematic, dream-soul and neo-soul influenced instrumentals designed for film, TV, and modern storytelling.

My work blends warm electric piano textures, gentle dissonance, emotional minimalism, and unconventional time signatures (3/4, 5/4, 6/8) — combining R&B warmth with atmospheric, spacious arrangements that sit cleanly under dialogue.

I focus on expressive harmony, hybrid acoustic–electronic palettes, and subtle rhythmic movement. Most pieces are built as sync-ready instrumentals with space, clarity, and alternate-mix flexibility.
