One night. The start of the next record.

05 Liner notes

My concept. My music. Here’s how I brought it to the web.

Side A Design decisions

  1. 01
    Small beginnings

    I release music as Destiny Marshall. This fictional show brings the online community into one room, with the next recording session as its goal.

  2. 02
    One link, one terminal, one payout

    Three real Paystack surfaces (Payment Pages, international checkout, Terminal), told in the order an artist meets them.

  3. 03
    Sound is the spine

    The waveform is the horizon, and the payments land on the beat. Without sound, a silent metronome keeps the rhythm.

  4. 04
    You’re in the ledger

    Anything you pay along the way is counted in the morning payout.

Side B Motion

  1. 01
    Beat-synced, not timeline-synced

    An audio engine emits beat events. Scenes subscribe to them, so the visuals stay locked to the music.

  2. 02
    Scroll as the clock

    The morning-after scene uses scroll as time: 2:14 AM to 7:02 AM, night sky to sunrise, with the music fading into the background.

  3. 03
    Physical where it counts

    The terminal tilts toward your pointer, the card drags, the receipt prints. Everything else stays calm.

  4. 04
    Reduced motion respected

    With prefers-reduced-motion, tilt, drift and the live waveform switch off. The story still reads.

Bonus Where AI helped

  1. 01
    Exploration with Claude

    Used for scaffolding, helped develop the narrative based on my concepts, including the audio fallback, and quick iterations on scene logic.

  2. 02
    My music onboard

    I brought my recordings and artist archive, chose this direction, and shaped the story around the connection between making music and getting paid.

  3. 03
    Refinement with Codex

    Codex helped integrate creayted assets, refine the copy, and improve replay, keyboard access, reduced motion, and responsive behaviour.
