Three jobs, one system. Each part below is live on this site, not a mockup.
Identity and artwork
The brand system comes from the artist's own character bible: night blue and charcoal, amber light, a condensed display face for the name, a serif for the words. Cover art, share images for every song and a press one-sheet all come off the same system.

18 per-song share images
Press one-sheet and press kit
The release experience
A self-hosted player, no third-party embed. Real waveforms drawn from the audio, lock-screen and headphone controls, a page and a link for every song, and a full-screen listening mode built on the same audio analyser.
18 tracks, play on every row
Waveform seeking and keyboard control
Song pages that never restart the music
Listening mode (the visualizer)
Fans and enquiries
An email list with a plain reason to join, two contact doors (music and press to the label, brand and web to the studio), and Ask Kario, an AI that answers in the artist's voice with daily caps. Every form confirms only after the save lands.

Truthful success and failure states
On a phone
Designed for the phone first, since that is where music gets opened from a link.
Listening mode
Press play anywhere, open listening mode, and the cover sits in a ring of light that follows the music. Built on the player's own audio analyser, no video files.
The flows
Fans join a list. Labels and brands get a door. Each form stores to the project's own database and only says sent when it is.
