“Immodal Implozego is a phrase I invented. My aim was to create a new musical and lyrical language - one free of sensical form. One in which mere happenstance is the underlying creative current. Like an EE Cummings poem, a Gerhard Richter painting, or an Henri Bresson photograph - Immodal is my unencumbered expression without pretense - the lyrics are reduced to a liquid state with all the possibilities of color, mark, and nuance. The music is as alive as a snake in the jungle. It will kiss you and purify any poison inside your soul. This record is eternal liberation. It is a declaration of flow unobstructed by time, space, or matter. It is love.
* Make it Right was inspired by Patti Smith's book, Just Kids. She has the wonderful ability to make her prose feel sensual and poetic. A bond between artists can be so powerful. I loved how she vividly she illustrates her relationship with Robert Mapplethorpe - I felt real tenderness and depth in her descriptions of their time together. I feel a bond similar to this with my wife Katie who is an artist and adventurer. We cherish our collaborations and revel in the space where new ideas come together and transform into something beautiful.”  – Pete Francis
