Life
He started as a self-taught guitarist and learned the flute and saxophone to play in the group Puppenhaus.

Then he studied flute at the Stuttgart Music Academy, took saxophone lessons with Bernd Konrad and played in the university big band under Erwin Lehn . In the late 1970s he played with Anne Haigis in the Re group and composed the Brokdorf cantata with Thomas Rabenschlag .
Siebert worked for the Cologne Eigelstein label , where he played the flute and saxophone as a guest musician on the first BAP LP " Wolfgang Niedecken's BAP rockt other Cologne Leeder " (1979). Siebert also played the saxophone on BAP's second LP, " Affjetaut " (1980). He also produced these; so he had a share in the band's first gold record. With Thomas Rabenschlag , Albert Mayer-Mikosch and Horst Götz, he recorded a program with texts by Peter Paul Zahl for Eigelstein as Kernbeiser . With these musicians as well as Wolfgang Dauner , Bernd Konrad , Martin Schrack , Ringo Hirth and Anne Haigis he played in the group Herrgottsax . The album Selbold Selergesichts sündige Saxophone (1981) was a mixture of independent jazz, jazz rock, with humorous interludes about the music scene and was record of the month at Stereoplay .

Between 1983 and 1985 he went on a European and US tour with Andreas Vollenweider . He worked on the album White Winds . In 1984 his album HMMH was released as the first result of his enthusiasm for the music of the peoples of the world. With a mixture of ethnic and western music styles, he completed two tours in Germany and made a contribution to the Stuttgart Jazz Festival in 1986 with the title Common Cause . 1985 began a collaboration with Ralf Illenberger , which lasted until 2004. Four tours in Germany, one USA tour, three joint albums with the Circle group as well as hundreds of duo concerts and a joint album as well as contributions to samplers for the American label Narada were the result of this collaboration. In the 1980s he began composing music for film and TV (over 100 films), including two episodes of Tatort. At the end of the 80s, two solo CDs, Bridges and Wild Earth were made .
In the 1990s he withdrew a little from the music business, recorded a solo CD in the Cheops pyramid , founded his own label, Araucaria, and composed. This is how CDs were created with projects for energy work , Qigong , the medicine wheel of indigenous peoples , Tibetan Buddhism or songs from one of the last indigenous people in India. He dealt with nature and energy projects, moved back to the countryside to buy a house and land with like-minded people. There possibilities were developed to live in harmony with the earth and its living beings in a modern society.
