A record label hero beside a square cover panel built on the ridgelines background component: dozens of stacked lines lifted by animated noise in a central band, each filled to hide the ridges behind it, rising from flat on load, with nearby lines lifting under the cursor. The panel inverts the theme's foreground and background. A headline, a short intro, an Arrow Pill with a play icon and an underline link sit alongside. Every plot setting passes through the plot prop; it pauses offscreen and holds a still frame for reduced motion.
