The show now ends standing: KEINE ANGST with the full 23-language cascade
stays up over the lit world, music carrying on until the traveler closes it —
no credits hand-off. Skip jumps straight to that standing frame.
Beacon: dismiss × removed, copy block centered on the canvas, the title gets
its quiet jewelry treatment — ivory-to-gold fill, a traveling sheen and a slow
breathing glow.
The overlay now portals to document.body: the sticky dashboard sidebar forms
its own stacking context, so the fixed navbar (z-200 at root) used to float
above the show regardless of the overlay's z-index.
The transition out of the fear act was too brutal: the silence now arrives as
a fast pull-away with the hall tail ringing out instead of a 100ms kill, the
pivot line trades its impact boom for a slow warm A1 swell (the first calm
breath), and the line itself breathes in over 3.4s.
Audio review fixes: the wind's swell LFO moves to a series tremolo stage so
the release can actually silence it before the cut (it used to warble through
the silence and click on stop); the heartbeat's noise layer becomes the
intended high-passed click instead of a dull lowpassed thud; dispose() pulls
the master to zero before the deferred context close so leaving the show
cannot pop.
Copy sits centered on the night-world canvas over a corner-pooling scrim; the
title grows monumental tracking, a gold sheen and a soft glow; the text CTA
becomes a slowly pulsing golden play circle that fills on hover. The version
eyebrow and the red live dot are gone — title, one line, play. Nothing else.
- Lines get a layered soft glow plus a radial pool of darkness under the text
zone, so they hold up over the burning border map without a hard box.
- Arc heads now interpolate fractionally along the curve with ease-out growth
(the whole-segment quantization read as stutter), in the show and the beacon
teaser alike.
- The score gains a convolution reverb with a procedurally generated impulse
response; the fear act trades raw saws for an organic bed (sine sub,
drifting fifth, breathing noise rumble, a semitone grind in the dread act),
the shimmer runs through a feedback echo, impact tails bloom in the hall,
the heartbeat stays close and dry.
The beacon is now a dark cinema card: a small canvas paints a breathing
night-world with golden travel arcs on loop, colored glows drift over it, the
title carries a gold sheen sweep and the copy sits on a bottom scrim. Core
colors ride inline so no dashboard widget CSS can wash the card out again.
Visual: city lights now come alive in the opening and die one by one while the
borders burn; three staccato words strobe with the heartbeat before the cut;
at the climax the borders no longer fade — they shatter into drifting sparks.
The traveler's own places ignite gold in the release act, with their real
numbers in the line ('{p} places. {c} countries. And not once did the world
hurt you.'). All heavy geometry is decimated to a vertex budget and pre-baked
into offscreen layers, so the frame path is a handful of drawImage calls — the
per-frame border stroke that dropped the show to ~1 fps is gone.
Sound: heartbeat with a click transient, wind textures, a doubled noise riser,
cue-driven sub-bass impacts and a gliding D–A–f#m–E progression with a sub
root under the anthem instead of the static pad.
Also: dashboard FAB hidden behind the show, suspended-AudioContext recovery
(Safari), tab-hidden pause for clock and audio, aborted geo fetch on close,
valid beacon markup (dismiss as sibling button), RTL-aware beacon, real
reduced-motion static frame, and native-speaker fixes for nl/sv/br/fr/it/es/
tr/gr copy.
A one-release statement against racism, hatred and fascism, told the way TREK
knows the world: through travel. A pulsing beacon in the dashboard sidebar
(desktop only, dismissible) opens a ~80s full-screen show — the world as a map
of dots whose borders burn red and then dissolve under a growing web of travel
connections, driven by a fully procedural Web Audio score (heartbeat, drone,
A-major release; no audio assets, no copyrighted material) and hard-cut lines
in all 23 TREK languages, closing on the anthem cascade and a credit to the
song that sparked it (Danger Dan — Keine Angst).
Self-contained in components/FourZero (own copy dictionary, no shared i18n
churn); wired into the dashboard with two marked lines. Removing the folder
plus those two lines retires the moment after the release.
