Details:
Cellist Jami Sieber has a talent for using her instrument like a painter, adorning her musical canvas with washes of vivid tones and reflective moods. That impressionistic, expressive nature is more evident than ever on her gorgeous album Unspoken. The instrumental soundtrack of the recent collaborative release, Only Breath, which features Sieberâs celloscapes in dialogue with mystical poetry, Unspoken is infused with the ineffable essence of the verses, allowing the listener to bask in the waves of music as they move from joy to grief to intoxication to stillness.

From trance-dance rhythms to prayerful stillness, Unspoken dissolves boundaries of musical genre, melding indigenous chants and rhythms with visionary compositions that quiet the mind and set the body dancing. Beginning with Sieberâs pulsing, ambient cello and vocals in âOpeningâ, a current of multi-layered sound carries the listener seamlessly from the lush and contemplative depths of âBenedictionâ, through the rushing torrent of percussion, flute, bass, vocals and cello in âThe River Betweenâ to Ulaliâs primal cries at the close of âNight Songâ. In the center of the journey, Benjy Wertheimerâs esraj and Jamiâs electric cello weave a richly textured interior world that gives birth to the irresistible grooves of the two worldbeat dance tracks, âBroken Openâ and âUnspoken,â which fuse Native American chanting with layers upon layers of exotic instrumentation. The CD closes with the heart-opening track, âReturning,â set in a quartet of cellos with guitars, percussion and organ.

Unspoken is a spiritual journey beyond ordinary consciousness, equally attractive to those who crave grooves that move the body and those seeking the music of silence, inner reflection and prayer. A ground-breaking recording that unifies indigenous and modern, stillness and movement, inner and outer; Unspoken awakens the senses and inspires the depths of the imagination.
