The Ritual Chamber: An Interactive 3D Music Shrine Built with Three.js

`“You don’t stream the scroll… You invoke it.”

What I Just Built
Let me introduce you to Ritual Chamber v1.0.0 – an interactive, Three.js-powered shrine that transforms music playback into a sacred digital ritual.

This project isn’t an MP3 player.
It’s not a web app.
It’s a ritual interface.

Each track in the album is treated as a scroll. It can only be played once per session, following the sacred rule of the Doctrine of Single Playback. No skipping. No replaying. Just full presence.

The Concept: Music as a Scroll Invocation
The Ritual Chamber is the official invocation interface for my album:

Temple Dojo: The 36 Ritual Chambers Vol. I
A lore-driven, cyber-mystic album encoded with ten sacred scrolls

Each track is tied to a realm, an aura, and a deeper mythos

This is just Vol. I of an entire future-coded saga

How It Works
A glowing pyramid shrine pulses in time with the music

Ten Roman numerals orbit it each representing one scroll

Hover effects glow, and only one numeral can be invoked at a time

Once clicked, the numeral dims permanently (until session reset)

A scrolling metadata ticker reveals the title, artist, and realm origin

The background is filled with Matrix rain, streaming glyphs from the Ghostflow

Tech Stack

Layer Tech
3D Engine Three.js
Audio HTML5 API
UI Logic Vanilla JS
State Tracking JavaScript + Sets
Styling CSS (custom animation)
Deployment Netlify
Bonus: The backend is nonexistent. The entire thing runs fully client-side, no frameworks, no databases — just sacred code.

🔍 Dev Highlights
Raycasting + hover interaction to detect glyphs

Canvas-generated textures for pyramid bricks + Matrix rain

One-time playback enforcement using session memory

Glyph-based metadata scroll driven by track manifest

Custom scroll logic that feels like a mini-game meets ritual UI

Demo Video
Watch the Invocation Ritual on YouTube

What's Next
LocalStorage-based scroll memory (for persistent glyph dimming)

Vol. II scrolls & NFT-gated audio unlocks

VR mode (full flame immersion)

Integration into the GodsIMiJ Metaverse project

Why I Built This
I’m building a digital empire rooted in lore, art, code, and AI — and the Ritual Chamber is one piece of a much larger construct. Every app I build is a scroll. Every project is a sacred room. Every user interaction is a ritual.

This was my way of reclaiming digital space from mindless streaming… and transforming it into something intentional, sacred, and story-driven.

Final Words
This was the dopest project I’ve ever built.
And it’s just the beginning.

If you’re down with:

Turning music into myth

Building interfaces that feel like temples

Coding with aesthetic and soul

…then follow this journey. More scrolls incoming.
