Electric Curtain

This example catalog demonstrates various concepts using a fictional Darksynth producer with the pseudonym Electric Curtain that has many singles, who on their faircamp site offers downloads behind a soft paycurtain, that is, asking for payment for downloads through third party platforms, which are however not technically enforced.

This is how their catalog directory looks like:
