English: I felt really honored as my 16-year-old daughter Sarah asked me to support her with my guitar at the young musician competition „Jugend musiziert“ 2016. I accepted of course before she could have changed her mind, because adolescents usually don’t want to perform music with their uncool parents in public.

Sarah had to perform 4 different songs in the category “Pop chant”. Her first song was “Joga” written by Björk, which she performed only with her voice without accompaniment. She sang and played e-piano with her second song “How come you don’t call me“ known in the version of Alicia Keys. I accompanied her third song „These Words“ by Natasha Bedingfield with my guitar and at the end Sarah sang one of her own songs „Except for me“ where she also played piano.

She only got very positive feedback by the jury and received a well-deserved first price. Now she may perform at the regional competition in March and was suggested to be part of the price winner concert in February 2016.

Of course, I am very proud that she made it! I personally never thought that I would perform at a young musician competition „Jugend musiziert“ at my age! 🙂

 

Deutsch: Ich fühlte mich wirklich sehr geehrt als mich meine 16-jährige Tochter Sarah fragte, ob ich sie bei „Jugend musiziert“ 2016 auf der Gitarre begleiten würde. Ich sagte natürlich sofort zu, bevor sie es sich anders überlegen konnte, denn welche jungen Erwachsenen möchten schon mit einem uncoolen Elternteil gemeinsam in der Öffentlichkeit Musik machen.

Sarah musste 4 unterschiedliche Songs in der Kategorie „Pop Gesang“ vortragen. Der erste Song war „Joga“ von Björk, den sie ohne Begleitung sang. Beim zweiten Song von Alicia Keys („How come you don’t call me“) hatte sie sich selbst am E-Piano begleitet. Der dritte Song „These Words“ von Natasha Bedingfield wurde von mir an der Gitarre begleitet und für den Schluss hatte Sarah ihren eigenen Song „Except for me“ wieder mit E-Piano Begleitung ausgesucht.

Sie hat von der Jury ausschließlich positives Feedback bekommen und wurde mit einem ersten Preis mit Weiterleitung zum Landeswettbewerb belohnt. Ausserdem wurde sie vorgeschlagen am Preisträgerkonzert teilzunehmen.

Ich bin natürlich sehr stolz, dass sie das geschafft hat! Ich selbst hätte niemals gedacht, dass ich in meinem Alter noch bei „Jugend musiziert“ mitmachen würde! 🙂

Great concert of SONIC LiQUID @ Blue Shell Cologne, Germany

English: Last Thursday we (SONIC LiQUID) performed live on stage at the well-known club „Blue Shell“ in Cologne. The 2 supporting bands „LOST IN LUCY“ and „D.O.C.“ were awesome and we had a great time with the audience. As the last band we definitely rocked the house!

After the concert we spent some time with our friends and fans talking about music and having some glasses of beer :-). I took a video of our performance and I had to watch it directly after arriving home late at night. I will publish parts of it later in this blog.

I only took some photos backstage and during the soundcheck! You’ll find them attached.

Deutsch: Letzten Donnerstag hatten wir (SONIC LiQUID) endlich unser Live Konzert im angesagten Club „Blue Shell“ in Köln. Die beiden von uns eingeladenen Bands „LOST IN LUCY“ und „D.O.C.“ waren super und wir hatten eine tollen Abend mit dem Publikum. Als letzte Band am Abend haben wir definitiv das Haus gerockt!

Nach dem Konzert haben wir dann noch Zeit mit unseren Freunden und Fans verbracht. Es wurde viel über Musik geredet und dabei das ein oder andere Bier getrunken :-). Ich habe ein Video unseres Auftrittes aufgenommen und musste es natürlich direkt nach meiner Rückkehr mitten in der Nacht anschauen. Ich werde Teile davon in diesem Blog zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt veröffentlichen.

Ich habe nur wenige Fotos Backstage und während des Soundchecks gemacht! Siehe unten!

Robert Artley – Fête de la Musique Cologne 2015 – My last Song (No. 7)

Posted by Robertartley on October 18, 2015
Posted in: Music. Tagged: acoustic music, Chocolate Museum, Cologne, Fête de la Musique, Folk, german song, Germany, Gitarre, guitar, live performance, music, Rheinauhafen, Robert Artley, singer, singer/songwriter, songwriter, voice. Leave a comment

English: I have combined 3 languages (German, French and English) in one song. The German title “Der Fremde” means “L’étranger” in French and “Foreigner” in English. The song is about loneliness.

All the different languages have got a different sound. What do you think?

Deutsch: Ich habe in einem Lied 3 Sprachen (Deutsch, Französisch und Englisch) kombiniert. Der Deutsche Titel “Der Fremde” bedeutet “L’étranger” auf Französisch und “Foreigner” auf Englisch. Der Song handelt von der Einsamkeit.

Die verschiedenen Sprachen klingen gesungen sehr unterschiedlich. Was denkt ihr?

Robert Artley – Fête de la Musique Cologne 2015 – Song No. 6

Posted by Robertartley on October 11, 2015
Posted in: Music. Tagged: acoustic music, Chocolate Museum, Cologne, Fête de la Musique, Folk, german song, Germany, Gitarre, guitar, live performance, music, Rheinauhafen, Robert Artley, singer, singer/songwriter, songwriter, voice. Leave a comment

English: My song „Ich will ausruh’n“ (“I want to (take a) rest”) was the 6th song on my set list during the Fête de la Musique in Cologne in front of the Cholcolate Museum (Rheinauhafen, 21st Juni 2015). I didn’t want to play English songs only so the second half of my set was more in German and a bit of everything.

I always get very good feedback regarding this song especially. So what do you think?

Deutsch: Mein Lied “ Ich will ausruh’n ” war der 6. Song auf meiner Setlist auf der Fête de la Musique in Köln im Rheinauhafen vor dem Schokoladenmuseum (21.06.2015). Ich wollte dieses Mal nicht nur Englische Songs spielen, also war die zweite Hälfte meines Sets in Deutsch und einem bisschen von allem.

Ich bekomme speziell für diesen Song immer sehr gutes Feedback. Also – was denkt ihr?

English: The next performance of my band “SONIC LiQUID” is fixed! The live concert is scheduled for the 19th November 2015 (location: Blueshell, Cologne; 20:00-23:00). A few months have passed since our debut. But we have used the time, rehearsed diligently and wrote some new songs. We have invited 2 other Rockbands to our concert:

“Lost In Lucy” will start with Power Dark Rock, followed by the Hardcore Bluesrock Band “D.O.C.” and we – SONIC LiQUID – will complete the event.

I am already looking forward to a great evening with lots of selfmade and new modern Rockmusic! An invite will be sent via Facebook at a later date.

Deutsch: Der nächste Auftritt meiner Band „SONIC LiQUID“ steht an! Wir werden am 19. November 2015 im Blueshell in Köln (20:00-23:00) unseren nächsten Live Auftritt haben. Seit unserer Premiere sind ein paar Monate vergangen. Wir haben die Zeit genutzt, fleißig geprobt und ein paar neue Songs geschrieben. Zum Konzert haben wir uns zwei tolle Bands dazu geholt:

„Lost in Lucy“ wird mit Power Dark Rock den Anfang machen, dann übernimmt die Hardcore Bluesrock Band „D.O.C.“ und zum Schluß dann wir – „SONIC LiQUID“.

Ich freue mich jetzt schon auf einen tollen Abend mit viel selbstgemachter und neuer moderner Rockmusic! Die Einladung kommt später per Facebook.

A special thank to Dirk B., who created the picture!

Robert Artley in Japan – long time ago!

Posted by Robertartley on September 19, 2015

English: As I cleaned my old folders in the attic today, I found an approx. 13 yrs old picture of me singing in a Whiskey bar in Tokyo (Ginza), Japan. It was really an interesting time in Japan! Like Bill Murray I felt a little „Lost in Translation“. This movie directed by Sofia Coppola came out in 2004 – so 2 years later – and  it was so funny!

Deutsch: Als ich heute meine Ordner auf dem Dachboden aufräumte, fiel mir ein ca. 12 Jahre altes Foto in die Hände, dass mich singend in einer Whiskey Bar in Tokio (Ginza), Japan zeigt. Das war wirklich eine interessante Zeit in Japan! Ich habe mich genauso wie Bill Murray ein wenig „Lost in Translation“ gefühlt. Dieser Film von Sofia Coppola kam 2004 in die Kinos – also 2 Jahre später – und er war so lustig!

Robert Artley – Fête de la Musique Cologne 2015 – Song No. 4

Posted by Robertartley on September 6, 2015
Posted in: Music. Tagged: acoustic music, Chocolate Museum, Cologne, Fête de la Musique, Folk, Germany, Gitarre, guitar, live performance, music, Rheinauhafen, Robert Artley, singer, singer/songwriter, song, songwriter, SONIC LiQUID, voice. Leave a comment

English: My 4th song on the Fête de la Musique in Cologne (Rheinauhafen) in June 2015 is called “Waiting for a better time”. I have played several versions of this songs in the last years and currently my band SONIC LiQUID is performing the latest one. Unfortunately they had no time for the Fête de la Musique in Cologne this year, so I played on my own.

The picture was taken during the premiere with my new Band SONIC LiQUID. We are currently planning our next concert with 2 other bands in Cologne in November. I’ll keep you informed.

Please send me your feedback by either using the email form at the end or by clicking on the “Leave a comment” link under the blog title.

Deutsch: Mein vierter Song auf der Fête de la Musique im Kölner Rheinauhafen im Juni diesen Jahres hieß „Waiting for a better time“. Ich habe schon mehrere verschiedene Versionen dieses Songs in den letzten Jahren gespielt und zur Zeit spielt meine Band SONIC LiQUID die aktuellste. Leider hatten sie keine Zeit für einen Auftritt auf der Fête de la Musique dieses Jahr, daher habe ich allein gespielt.

Das Bild unten wurde während der Premiere mit meiner neuen Band SONIC LiQUID aufgenommen. Wir planen zur Zeit mit noch 2 weitere Bands unseren nächsten Gig in Köln im November. Ich halte euch auf dem Laufenden.

Schickt mir bitte Feedback. Das könnt ihr entweder mittels des unten angehängten Email Formulars oder durch Klicken auf den “Leave a comment” Link unter dem Titel machen.
