About Arne

After many years of work as a respected live, studio & session bass player, a somewhat bored Arne bought and modified an old hawaiian steel guitar in early 2000, for the next year developing both a particular 8-string tuning as well as further skills on the instrument. The purchase and cumulating use of an electric baritone guitar (tuned a fifth below regular guitar) by the end of the following year, along with the steel and his bass guitars, later adding an electric guitarlele (tuned a 5th above guitar - thanks, Steff!), various slide steel bars, an EBow, midi-instruments, and, whenever needed, a bagfull of electronic filters - now really made Arne a rather unconventional, fearless multi-instrumentalist …

Arne at DISCOGS

Soon after recording bass and additional guitar both for Kieran McMahon and for another Maximilian Hecker album in the spring of 2006, Arne Neumann´s increasing experimental yearnings led him to join artist and theremin player Manfred Miersch's avantgarde electronic group atelierTheremin with singer Slyder C. Gaessler, where Arne is responsible since for all kinds of spacy sounding string instruments. Through the next year, atelierTheremin began to perform various complex live "PSYCHEDELIC CINEMA" shows *  how did that look?  *  With the release of their first collective album effort ofthis line-up in 2009, atelierTheremin began running particular bimonthly live shows at the then reactivated Zodiac free arts lab, inviting collaborateurs known in the history of German Krautrock … info on the ZODIAC (german)  *  atelierTheremin 2015 and back then …  

In 2011 Arne played bass and hawaiian steel on singer/songwriter Arenor Anuku's recording sessions for the album Geld spielt keine Rolle. That was fun - so Arne kept on playing in Arenor's group Peppersoup since, joined by percussionist Kofi Rocco Rossbach. www.arenoranuku.de

Since 2005, Arne occasionally accompanies and records with the most amazing "Queen of King", frankfurt singer/songwriter, ukulele player and actress Steffi Tauber (PRESLISA, TAIKA), on baritone guitar, hawaiian steel, and electric guitarlele. Whenever PRESLISA calls - Arne readily becomes "Körnel Parka"!  www.preslisa.de / www.taika-music.com

In 2002 Arne met Belfast singer/songwriter Kieran McMahon for demo recordings for the album Falling deeper under a Spell. They work together live and in the studio through various line-ups since. In 2011 Arne Neumann conspired again with former rhythm group/studio pal, now song poet/percussionist Snorre Schwarz, accompanying him on baritone guitar on his birth of BUD ROSES shows providing various sounds along with guitarist Aidan Bartley. Furthermore, Arne and his basses help out on recordings by hamburg guitar player/composer/producer Folke Jensen  - and he's willing to join forces with pianist/singer/performer Ralf Schlüter as durstdurst, "twanging" his baritone guitar.
