Context and thoughts on production:
While composing this piece and crafting its minimalist lyrics, I was confronted with distressing news ⏤ a fatal illness had struck my sister, who would be taken away too young.
The title "Catastasis" imposed itself during the creative process. While working on the track, I stumbled upon this word by chance in a Google search. In Greek, "catastasis" refers to the part of a play that precedes the catastrophe.
The piece was released just one month before her passing.
In the face of impending death, my sister exhibited remarkable peace, serenity, and strength, becoming a source of comfort for the many loved ones around her who love and will always love her.
