| Element | Details | |---------|---------| | | 04 July 2021 (Scatbook “Summer‑21” roll‑out) | | Writing Credits | Kaitlyn Katsaros (lyrics & vocal melody), Gia Derza (production, arrangement) | | Recording Process | - Demo Phase – Kaitlyn recorded a stripped‑back acoustic demo in her home studio (April 2021). - Exchange – The demo was sent to Gia Derza via a private Dropbox link. - Production – Over a two‑week period (mid‑May), Gia Derza re‑imagined the track using a hybrid of live field recordings (rain, distant traffic) and modular synth patches. - Vocals – Kaitlyn re‑tracked her vocals in a professional booth (June 2021) to capture both intimate whisper tones and soaring belted passages. | | Inspiration | The lyrical theme revolves around self‑renewal after a period of stagnation. Kaitlyn has cited late‑night drives through the Pacific Northwest and a personal “reset” after a year of pandemic‑induced isolation as the emotional core. Gia Derza mentioned the “concept of light filtering through a storm” as a guiding metaphor for the arrangement. | | Label/Platform | Scatbook (independent digital collective) – released on streaming services, Bandcamp, and featured on Scatbook’s “Spotlight” playlist. |
