about

Isto's 8th collection of original music. In an attempt to do something new and also to give the album a kind of unity, he used the first steel-string guitar he ever owned (which was in bad shape) for every track, and didn't make use of any multi-tracking. Trying to get as many sounds as possible out of that guitar was a fun creative project.
