Jamie is reinventing the hammered dulcimer. Having played the drums since a young age, he recognized the incredible potential of the instrument early on and has focused on the percussive techniques of playing the strings. Over time, he has developed his own approach to the instrument and a unique style characterized by the intricate interplay between rhythm and melody, the use of odd time signatures, metric modulation and dynamic changes of volume and tempo. He has done extensive exploration into the realm of improvisation, often creating extended spontaneous compositions. He began playing the tabla, congas, djembe, udu and bongos thereby expanding his percussive reach into the world of hand drumming. He learned to play the didjeridoo while living in Australia in 1990. Jamie Janover released his first solo hammered dulcimer recording "Stellar Conversations" in 1988 followed by a multi track recording in 1989 that featured Janover on hammered dulcimer, drums and percussion called "Trapezohedron". "Streams of Consciousness" was released in 1989 and also featured Janover on the didjeridoo. Having acquired one of the best instruments one can find (a fully chromatic, four plus octave hammered dulcimer complete with a dual damper pedal system built by Sam Rizzetta) Jamie put out his first CD called "Evolutions" which consists of 12 solo improvisations recorded in the summer of 1993. His next CD is called "Realms". Released in Oct. of 1998, the recording marks the expansion of Jamie''s musical directions. Each song was inspired by a different style of music. The CD features twenty guest musicians playing a wide variety of instruments. The guests include members of Phish, The String Cheese Incident, Leftover Salmon, The Jazz Mandolin Project and The Felcktones. Jamie plays hammered dulcimer on every track and drums, percussion, tabla, udu, tamboura or didjeridoo on several tracks. The latest CD called "All Strings Considered", was released at the very end of the millennium, and is an album of duets with the innovative bowhammer cymbalom player Michael Masley.
Jamie has performed all over the U.S.. He has also played in Canada, Africa, for the Masai of Kenya, and in Australia. His live performances have included accompanying dance and theater as well as solo hammered dulcimer concerts, playing in bands / ensembles on drum kit, percussion, dulcimer or didjeridoo.
In 1998 Janover launched Realm Music, an independent record label that carries his music and CDs of artists with whom he has worked.
