Lynx & Janover

After raging the North American festival circuit with the music from their album “Between Worlds” in summer 2009, LYNX & Janover have established themselves as pioneers of a unique brand of electro-acoustic music by creating a diversified harmonic blend of all original hip-hop and down-tempo electronica grooves with stellar song writing, guitar playing, beat boxing, rhyming, amplified mini-kit percussion and the unique sounds of the hammered dulcimer. Big warm bass and sophisticated beats combined with LYNX’s incredible songwriting and Jamie Janover’s melodic and percussive genius puts them in a league of their own. LYNX is a Colorado born and raised singer-songwriter and beat-boxer with a great love of hip-hop and dubstep. Jamie Janover is a national hammer dulcimer champion who holds it down as one of the only hammer dulcimer players in the world to be totally immersed in electronica. In less than two years, LYNX & Janover have played sold out shows from British Columbia to Colorado and have played 20 festivals in each of the past two festival seasons including Rothbury, Shambhala, High Sierra, 10,000 Lakes, Harmony, Lightning in a Bottle, Symbiosis, the Earthdance hub event and many others. Together LYNX & Janover have achieved the elusive perfect balance between the acoustic and the electronic, using today’s most advanced technologies mixed with ancient live instrumentation to create a unified sound reflective of the polarized nature of our times.

His many talents include being a master of the ancient percussion stringed instrument called the hammered dulcimer (he won the 2002 National Hammered Dulcimer Championship), inventing an instrument he calls the "mini-kit" (a miniature amplified drum kit), playing pyrocussion (fire drums) and creating the Realmsmobile (a recumbent tricycle with the mini-kit attached, enabling him to ride and play drums simultaneously), among many other diverse creative outputs. Jamie also plays the drums, sitar, tamboura, didjeridu, tabla, congas, electric kalimba and all types of percussion instruments in his massive collection. He maintains a rigorous touring schedule year-round with many projects that he rotates through, including LYNX & Janover, ZILLA (w/ Michael Travis from SCI and Aaron Holstein) and from quartets like PRAANG (which features Steve Kimock and EOTO), to large ensemble gigs with Everyone Orchestra, among several other projects. Jamie is a veteran of hundreds of guest appearances including with artists: Phish, Bela Fleck, Stanley Jordan, String Cheese Incident, Umphrey’s McGee, Govt’ Mule, G. Love and Leftover Salmon, among many others. When not playing music, you can find Jamie connecting dots around the world by giving presentations on the Unified Field Theory of Nassim Haramein of the Resonance Project, creating sculptures from organic materials in nature and or practicing the art of photography. http://www.jamiejanover.com http://www.myspace.com/jamiejanover http://www.facebook.com/jamiejanover https://www.twitter.com/JamieJanover http://www.facebook.com/pages/Jamie-Janover/57889468906 http://www.myspace.com/praang http://www.zillamusic.com http://www.sonicbloomfestival.com http://www.theresonanceproject.org/emissary_jamie_janover.html Read more on Last.fm.
