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.

Hi, I’m SugarSynth; an ongoing audio/visual art project by Ashley Koopstra.

Crafting sound gives voice to the parts of my mind that are otherwise left on mute. 💜 I create electronic tracks that blur the line between melody, malfunction, retro vibes and heavy bass; ruthlessly using whatever tools I need to bring my vision to life. My workflow is unique: I write lyrics, record sounds, mix them, and produce melodies, I then use the most modern software and tools to sculpt, optimize, polish and create unique sounds in great quality. My vocals are heavily modified. Every sound I shape is a way to connect, to make the invisible feel a little more real.

🎹 Gear: Akai MPK Mini MK3, Akai APC Mini MK2
🎤 Behringer XM8500 (Heavily modified/synthesized)
🎛  DAW: Bitwig Studio
🎨 Most of my artwork/photos/images are generative AI (diffusion) elements sometimes even combined with real life photos. Always using GIMP for composition/finalizing.

I’m not chasing perfection. I’m chasing resonance and connection. If something in my sounds or visuals evokes emotion; that’s everything.

If you wish to learn more about me give me a follow on my socials or checkout SugarSynthMusic.com for the 'about me' and 'FAQ' section.

If you follow me on SoundCloud, thanks so much ❤️❤️!! Please know I will check out your music and follow back if it's my taste, and I like a lot of music!
