Janover also plays the drum-kit, sitar, tamboura, didjeridu, tabla, congas, electric kalimba and all types of percussion instruments in his considerable collection. He maintains a rigorous touring schedule year-round with many projects that he rotates through. His main touring project currently is LYNX & Janover. He also does shows with ZILLA (w/ Michael Travis from SCI and Aaron Holstein), PRAANG (with Steve Kimock, Travis & Hann) and large ensemble gigs with Everyone Orchestra.
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 as one of their official emissaries, creating natural sculptures from organic materials in nature and or practicing the art of photography during his extensive international travels.
