HEADLESS REFERENCE BUILD / DEMO

The site should feel like a world, not a collection of links.

An unofficial reference implementation of one headless artist-site architecture: editorial content, interactive narrative, and Shopify commerce sharing one frontend system. It is not a reconstruction of Ren's private production architecture.

CURRENT / MUSIC

Start with the work.

Streaming destinations can be swapped for cleared embeds or first-party media without changing the surrounding architecture.

Discography is a browsable editorial layer rather than a detached outbound-link page.

INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCE

Don't just watch the world. Enter it.

These are the two working proof modules: Yellow Door and Rabbit Hole. In a hypothetical production implementation they could become routes in the same headless frontend rather than isolated builds.

SHOP / SHOPIFY STOREFRONT

Artifacts from the world.

Product cards load through the Storefront API when configured. Until then, the reference build stays usable in demo mode.

LIVE

Events should feel connected.

Event data is fixture-driven in this reference build; a hypothetical production implementation could source it from Sanity without changing the page architecture.

STUDY

ABOUT / SYSTEM

Editorial, commerce and interactive work can reinforce each other.

This build demonstrates one way to connect structured editorial content, narrative experiences and a Shopify catalog in a responsive frontend. It does not demonstrate missing connective tissue in Ren's production system.
