Pas L’Isto was an album I made in the
summer of 2007 using no overdubs and only the sound of a single cheap
acoustic guitar and my voice. The guitar was the guitar I first learned to
play on. I tried to get as many different kinds of sounds out of the guitar
as possible. The songs reflect the way I felt at the time, and I think the
overall impression is surrealism with an underlying depression. I think it
might be a concept album about a man waiting to be born. Over the next year
and a half, “I Entered My Stomach for a Walk,” “Leaky
Faucet,” and the title track evolved a lot as live performances.
Structurally, they all sort of became one piece, along with the rest of the
album and whatever I was performing on any given night. “I Entered My
Stomach” evolved to include a performance of me digesting myself on
stage. This was the centerpiece of my shows for a little while. I always
found it cathartic. -Isto
