VC JACOBY - POET ON MUSICAL WAYS

Volker Carl Jacoby - Autor, Poet, Kabarettist, Comedian, Liedermacher, Synchronsprecher - https://www.literaturland-saar.de/personen/volker-carl-jacoby

Author, poet, cabaret artist, songwriter, voice actor, journalist and even pastor: Volker C. Jacoby is active in many fields.

He spent his childhood and youth in St. Ingbert. Saarland, Germany, where he attended the humanistic and classical language branch of the State Secondary School. After university and various jobs, he began working freelance for „Saarländischer Rundfunk“ Radio, initially as a correspondent for the SR 3 regional news program, in parallel with his readings and literary solo cabaret programs. This was followed by roles as a narrator for radio plays, as a voice actor, and for various commercials.

In 1977, Jacoby teamed up with Schorsch Seitz to form the duo "Jacoby & Schorsch." Together, they primarily composed humorous songs in Standard German and the Rhenish-Franconian-Saarland dialect with a cabaret-like, ironic touch. Their dialect songs, in particular, filled a clearly existing gap in the market, especially since "SR 3 Saarlandwelle" featured them permanently on their programming, thus making them known to a wider audience. Subsequently, "Jacoby and Schorsch" produced three vinyl albums and three singles. During their tours, they also performed open-air gigs with rock bands.

Soon well known beyond the borders of Saarland, the duo received engagements in Berlin, Stuttgart (Südfunk), Cologne (Westdeutscher Rundfunk), Frankfurt, Munich, Basel and Brussels, among others. During a TV recording at the Renitenztheater in Stuttgart, they also met Mathias Richling and Karl Dall. Jacoby collaborated with the latter several times for RTL on the radio show "Die schlaue Stunde." In 1993, the popularity of "Jacoby & Schorsch" peaked – not least through their appearances with Hanns Dieter Hüsch  (A "Hüsch Evening" with music in memory of his friend and cabaret colleague Hanns Dieter Hüsch was added to the repertoire – later in 2010).

He moved to France 1994. Since then, he has been performed readings, including singing. His dialect contributions have provided him with a rewarding outlet in the "Mundartring Saar" (Saarland dialect circle), including as a reciter of poems by deceased fellow authors, to whom he lends his voice.

Constantly prolific in literary terms, his poems are in the tradition of comic poetry in the style of Wilhelm Busch, Christian Morgenstern, Joachim Ringelnatz, Eugen Roth, Heinz Erhardt and Robert Gernhardt. Volker C. Jacoby also publishes his poetry and prose on LiteratPro, Facebook and YouTube. Since 2025, he has been setting his poems to music and is constantly writing new songs. And, of course, he continues to write his cheerful, humorous, and often very quirky poems.

Music is the object of my hyper-focusing ways! 😂 I'm primarily a guitarist, although I've really taken to the piano in the last five years or so. The two reinforce each other in positive ways, I've found. But I digress. 
Most of the songs here I've written for a personal  soundtracking-type project. I have a collection of old family 8mm films from the 1950s through the 1970s, which were preserved (thankfully) and digitized. Thing is, they had no audio. So, a year and a half later, 75+ videos into the project, and about, I'd say, 12 more videos to soundtrack? Generational contribution: complete! 🤘🏼🎸
It's really been a cool experience trying to capture different moods for different videos. It was also special to spend so much time with film of a group of people who had such a profound impact on who I have become - but seeing them here "pre-me". Seeing my grandparents dance together and go about their daily lives on film, being younger than I am now. Generations of leaves... 
I love almost all types of music. Recently, I've been listening to Curtis Mayfield, Paco de Lucía, Michael Hedges, Yes, Deftones, The Mercury Program, Ólafur Arnalds, September Malevolence. 
If there is any tune here that you like, and you're thinking, "it'd be cool to listen to this song while watching vintage, 8mm, mid-20th century American slices of life, then I got you covered! 

Thanks for stopping by...

Artist Profile — Svetlana Solstice

Music maker on a mission — and not afraid to say it: a one-hit wonder would absolutely make my day.
But until that moment arrives, Svetlana Solstice is building something far more ambitious.

As an independent producer shaping a new wave of AI-powered electronic music, she has spent 2025 crafting one of the most unique multi-album projects in the fitness and wellbeing space: The Six-Pack Album Set — Rise Up! (The Fitness Rituals).
Six full albums, each with twelve tracks, designed as a complete soundtrack for training, transformation, and personal renewal. From warm-ups and power sets to dance flows and cool-downs, the series gives listeners the freedom to mix, match, and move with a full-year cycle of fitness energy.

Her music blends elements of house, EDM, electro-pop, rap-infused vocals, and hypnotic rhythmic phrasing — all wrapped in the clean, uplifting sound that defines the Rise Up ritual experience. The tracks are more than beats; they’re mantras. Reflections of her own journey in self-esteem, confidence, and rebuilding identity after major life changes.

Every song carries the same thread: motivation through movement. Her lyrics and production are built to support the listener through gym sessions, morning routines, daily challenges, and those moments when you need to drown out doubt and turn the volume up on possibility.

With a growing presence across social platforms and a rapidly expanding discography, Svetlana’s sound continues to evolve — from high-energy workout anthems to deeper, more emotional concept albums like To Begin Again and Eyes That Knew Me. Across every project she brings clarity, intention, and a signature mix of strength and vulnerability.

She may be chasing that one hit — but along the way, she’s building a body of work designed to help others hit their stride.
