Rodriguez started working on this musical composition back in 2016 while searching for an outlet for his grief over the devastating fire. He said he wanted to create a musical presentation for the families of those who died. Rodriguez called those who perished the "36 stars." "I want to acknowledge that it’s their journey. So this music represents their journey of their death into paradise; that’s really the essence of a requiem," he said.
