This was the first try-out of "Venus Tunes Live", a new project of Susanne, all the way in Leeuwarden, the Netherlands, on Frysian regional tv!
Track 1: Open Up (SoulParlor Remix) featuring Berenice van Leer Track 2: Elixir (Opolopo Remix) featuring SaraLee Track 3: Saxify (SoulParlor Remix) featuring Lorrèn
Unfortunately something went wrong with the sound so you hear some clicks. During "Saxify", initially the first song, the sound engineer appeared not to have checked my wireless microphone for interference with frequencies.. so we couldn't use more of that song... things happen... Also in "Elixir" my voice is much too loud, it's meant to be half volume :-D That's what try-outs are for. To learn and show you the work in progress.
What is Venus Tunes Live: In addition to the performances Susanne is currently doing, "Venus Tunes Live” is a new live act Susanne Alt will take on the road, consisting of Susanne Alt featuring 1 or 2 dj/vocalists of the Saxify remixes, including: Berenice van Leer, Lorrèn, Mavis Acquah, SaraLee Vos or Lex Empress. Contact Susanne for more info. The tunes are the result of collaborations between dj/producers and Susanne Alt; these are remixes from tunes of her latest album "Saxify".

So the first time we played the music from Royalty For Real wasn't in Amersfoort, the Netherlands, but in Bengaluru and Mumbai, all the way in India in 2023!Here you'll see me play Au Privave, Classy Cats and Royalty For Real, together with Timothy Banchet (piano), Marius Beets (bass) and Sven Rozier (drums).Au Privave is a well-known blues by Charlie Parker which I often like to start with, almost like a soundcheck tune. Although most of the time a soundcheck is done I found out it's a good idea to play a tune everybody of the band knows very well so we all can get used to the sound of the stage, the presence of the audience and it also gives the sound engineer the chance to adjust microphones last minute. During the soundcheck, the sound of the room is significantly different because of the lack of audience. All that flesh and clothes work a little bit like a totally empty room versus a room with furniture and carpets, if you know what I mean :-)Acoustics are so interesting and full of surprises.. Anyways.. hope you like it! - This was the first try-out of Venus Tunes Live, a new project of Susanne, all the way in Leeuwarden, the Netherlands, on Frysian regional tv!
