Friends of Thus, Ikarus: 

It is with tremendous sadness that I need to let you know that Josh Imel, half of our duo but probably more than half of its fire, passed away unexpectedly on February 1, 2021.  Josh and I had been musical collaborators for 36 years; this was a deep loss.  Our days of making new music together are tragically over.  However, he did leave a lot of amazing unreleased music behind, and I will now be working to honor his musical legacy and share this music with the world.   It's been a time to grieve.  But it's also been a time to joyously remember a selfless, free-spirited, artistic inventor who always made me, and those around him, smile.  He had learned some secrets in life that I still hope to discover.   He was a singular individual.  Stay tuned for more examples of that.

Sincerely,  

Christopher Kinzel, 2021
