Jornt Elzinga was born in the Netherlands on 3 March 1989. He was influenced by the pop culture of the 1990s and the early 2000s, saying he "witnessed the world's globalization and grew up with slow dial-up Internet." His sister watched TV shows such as Saved by the Bell, which Jornt called "a childhood memory that has been in my mind forever." His dad frequently filmed and took photos as a kid; as Jornt said, "most of my memories from the early 90s are documented."
By his mid-teens and with faster access to the Internet, Elzinga discovered more of what he called "weird music," including dark ambient, drone, and noise. He experimented with stretching, field recording, and sampling to create a more narrative feel to his music, as well as transferring his recordings to cassette tape. For releases such as Towards a Bleak Sun (2014), Elzinga recorded under the alias Mesektet.
Elzinga wanted to choose an alias name involving cats, and stated that "Corporation" fits the themes he would pursue with his music. He continuously translated names through Google Translate until it read "Cat System Corp." (猫 シ Corp.), a name he found "genius."
In early 2019, Elzinga founded his own record label, Hiraeth Records, which made him stop releasing sampled music due to copyright concerns. He was influenced by media such as the Hyperion Cantos and The Matrix (1999), and shifted his focus towards ambient-oriented music notably in his 2025 album, Blueberries On Mars. Artists whose works were released on the label include Disconscious, Zer0, and Tsudio Studio. Later that year, Elzinga's video album of his 2018 release Family. Work. Shop. was exhibited at Brazilian film event Ecrã Festival [pt] in Rio de Janeiro.
Elzinga has been a recognised musician within the vaporwave scene for his contributions to mallsoft. Albums such as Hiraeth, Corporate Mixtape, and Palm Mall were praised for their portrayals of 20th-century shopping malls, with Palm Mall being called the definitive mallsoft release and "one of the greatest vaporwave albums of all time." Of Oasys, Jeffrey Howard stated that the album "might save your life, transporting you back to a time when George W. Bush was in office." News at 11, one of the most demanded physical releases within the vaporwave scene, was described by author Roisin Kiberd as a concept album that "interrogates vaporwave, asking if the genre can only be truly appreciated by those who have lost something."
Elzinga was influenced by artists including Architecture in Tokyo, Luxury Elite, Macintosh Plus, and Telepath. Although he said Architecture in Tokyo and Luxury Elite had an influence on him, calling them "the OGs," Telepath is Elzinga's favorite, as both worked together on several albums. One musician he listened to frequently in 2013 is Toyotaセリカ; although more inactive than others, Elzinga said, "he has some amazing albums." One specific artist sampled on Elzinga's first releases is singer Sade, whose song "Tar Baby" was also sampled on Floral Shoppe.
Elzinga admitted not having any formal music education and not being able to write or read musical notation. Although featuring instruments such as saxophones in many of his songs, he only samples existing 1980s and 90s jazz. He said he began his music career selecting specific ambient works, stating that "everyone can make it." Referencing Floral Shoppe, he jokingly said, "It's only slowed down Diana Ross, right?"
About his collaborative process, Elzinga maintains contact with many other vaporwave musicians, including Luxury Elite and Vaperror. He produced albums such as Building a Better World with Telepath by continuously emailing audio files to each other, similarly to the production process of 2814's Rain Temple (2016).
