DEAR MUSIC LOVER

Welcome to my online presence, I am glad you are visiting here. When you scroll down, you can find out more about what I have been doing in the past and what I will be working on next. Maybe you want to write me, ask me questions, play me your music or visit my studio. I’m ever so curious to meet you.
 

My name is Fieke van den Hurk

and I am a recording engineer, mixing engineer, music producer, accordion player (a multi-instrumentalist really) and a composer. That's a whole lot, but it makes me versatile and flexible in any music creation process.

I started out my career at Wisseloord Studios in The Netherlands, where I worked as an assistant to various great engineers, with artists like Ozark Henry, Ilse DeLange, Gotthard and Fuse. For a couple of years I combined that with working at Reyn Ouwehands "The Church", engineering for artists such as Qeaux Qeaux Joans and Anna Rune.

In 2014 I built my own studio and called it “Dearworld Studio”. The studio houses an eccentric range of instruments and microphones I collected over the years. It grew to be a magical hideaway and musical playground, idyllically located in the Dutch countryside. Its atmosphere is widely praised. I still happily work here as an independent music producer and songwriter - and love to invite other artists and engineers to make use of my space. Recent artists I've been involved with include the all wonderful: Eivør, RHIANNIN, Katja Moslehner, Nanna Barslev, Rembrandt Frerichs Trio, Emilie Lorentzen, Myrkur, Beryl Anne, Greener Grass, Tvinna and Jyoti Verhoeff.
