[gabrisimspon]

wow...i discovered it on Braid too and i suddenly bought Hidden Sky... your music is amazing, really, i felt in love with the cello because of you

[jlsieber]

@gabrisimspon Thank you thank you. So glad that I could introduce you to loving the cello.

peace, Jami

[ofir866]

Because of this piece I bought "Hidden Sky".

This is an amazing piece, it leaves you gazing for moments after it stops.

Makes you think.

[jlsieber]

@ofir866 So glad to hear that you are enjoying the cd Hidden Sky. I am working on a new cd now that will hopefully be out in a few months. peace, Jami

[MPRC1136]

Oh my goodness. I can't believe you have a youtube channel. This is my new favorite song. When work has my head spinning I close the door to my office and play Maenam. It is such a beautiful mezmorizing song. So serene. You are a true genious. Thankyou for the inspiration.

[jlsieber]

@MPRC1136 Thanks for finding me. So glad that my music is a part of making your work day serene.

peace, Jami

[fanirama]

Beautiful. I found your vid searching for Braid video game. This music is hauntingly beautiful. Leaves me with a heavy heart as if I have lost something so precious and I'm on a desperate search for it taking a moment to rest and reflect on what might've been and reliving moments from my life. Very few music really moves me. Thank you for this arresting music.

[jlsieber]

@fanirama The way you described the way the music affects you is exactly from the place that I wrote it.

So glad to hear that you are taking it in so deeply.

peace, Jami

[tontocorazon]

Like I'm seriously infatuated with this. I don't listen to this type of music much but I think I should

[jlsieber]

@tontocorazon So glad that you are finding your way to music that you normally don't listen to. Take care, Jami

[tontocorazon]

Beautiful

[GhostofRa]

This is even better live. Absolutely beautiful. I always listen to this album when ever i fly back home. It reminds me of the times i use to have and the road that has lead me to where i am. Thank you so much for making such great music.

[vittau]

Very very beautiful.

I first heard it on 'Braid', which gives it even more depth.

It makes me think about life in general, with so many people searching for their "princesses" (a goal, a meaning to live), yet just a few will ever truly find it...

[jlsieber]

@vittau It's wild that you talk about 'meaning to live' in regards to Maenam. That piece began as an improvisation in Thailand - at a time when I really was looking for something deeper in life. In that moment that Maenam was created, that was the beginning of a deep journey that I am still on. You never know when it will happen.

Take care and thanks for your comment, Jami

[OnibakuRenji]

Beautiful song. Maenam means "river" in thai.

[jlsieber]

OOps - I just noticed that you are talking about the live performance maybe? I used a digitech TSR24S. It is an old multi-effect unit that anyone can use.

let me know if this helps.

Jami

[jlsieber]

Hi- The effects used in Maenam are not specific to the electric cello. I recorded at Bear Creek Studio in Woodinville, WA and the engineer there used various effects that I couldn't even begin to remember. They were all used in post production as well as playing through an old Fender Tube Amp. Hope that answers your question. Jami

[MAClemore]

Are you using post effects that are only available to an electric cello?

[turkishfoley]

Words do not describe the sense of wonder and calm brought on by this piece of music.

[jlsieber]

@turkishfoley Hi - So glad that you are enjoying the music. Please visit my website to see and hear more. peace and love, Jami

[mosaicmatt]

Jami, I can't believe that I'm just discovering you now, and I was in Tacoma at the same time you performed this concert in Seattle! Such musicianship, truly. I'll be back in Washington again within a few days. Would love to have you here in CT some time. Continue to create these magical pieces. much love to you.

[jlsieber]

@mosaicmatt Hi- I wrote a response to your note but I don't know where it went. Thanks for finding my music. I will be performing in Kirkland, WA in May if you are around. I haven't been to CT for a couple years but would love to get back there. Go to my website and sign up on my mailing list and I will let you know where and when I perform or if there are new cds out. Thanks for your support. Peace and love, Jami

[jlsieber]

Thank you for your words of praise.

Blessings to you as you find those moments of peace.

Jami

[CrazyMestre]

such a beautiful song. I am currently using it to meditate and find my peace of mind.

It makes me think about life and how short can it be, yet it can be wonderful at the same time !

Thanks for sharing such a piece of art

[jlsieber]

HI Kareporo,

Thanks for your message. I am so glad that you are moved by the piece.

Take care.

Peace and love,

Jami

Last night I had the pleasure of seeing you preform at Upaya in Santa Fe. Thank you for your amazing gift.

[jlsieber]
