Broadcast Demo

A website for a fictional band, where a television is the interface. A remote changes the channel, teletext carries a live shipping forecast, and the tour dates flap on a departures board.

The brief

A band’s website that feels like their world, not a template: late at night, a room lit by a television, and something always on.

What I built

A website where a television is the interface, made for Night Ferry, a fictional band from a harbour town.

  • A remote changes the channel: music on 02, the tour diary on 03, photos on 04, and tour dates on a ferry departures board on 05.
  • Teletext holds the details, including a live shipping forecast built from Open-Meteo's marine and weather data.
  • An unlisted channel shows a night drive drawn live on canvas, rain on the glass and all.
Changing channels: the band, the record, the departures board and the photos

How it works

Astro serves each channel as a real, indexable page, and a small script runs the set, the remote and the tuning. The picture is canvas and CSS, and the sound runs through Web Audio.

What came of it

A demo built around a band that doesn’t exist. The same set works for any artist, label or venue that wants a website people remember.

Want something like this?

I build sites like this for people with an idea and not enough hours. Tell me what you’re making.

Open to a few small projects: websites, apps and automation.
