signal/loss is a personal site for izzi3m — experimental musician and visual artist — built as a pirate radio station that degrades the longer you listen.

Click to tune in. Music starts in shuffled order. 33 artworks cycle as a carousel. An audio-reactive gradient pulses with the music — bass drives chartreuse, mids drive cyan, highs drive off-white. The entire transmission decays: text glitches into block characters, images desaturate and jitter, the signal indicator counts down to zero. Refresh resets everything.

A daily Zo automation runs as the station's "signal controller" — every morning it recalculates the broadcast signal strength based on the day of the week, picks a decay flavour (chromatic, structural, textual, or interference), adjusts how fast the station falls apart, and logs the transmission. The site behaves differently depending on when you visit. Tuesday's station is strong and colour-heavy. Saturday's station is already half-broken when you arrive.

The site performs what the music sounds like.

Built solo on Zo Computer. Plain HTML/CSS/JS, no frameworks with some help from Claude for debugging and time management. Web Audio API for real-time frequency analysis. Custom colour palette pulled from a single pixelated photograph. Custom domain via Zo Hosting. Stripe payment link for direct support.
