Composing, producing and mixing songs can be compared to creating a painting. The creation of the tracks is a long process, ranging from months to sometimes even years. It is a careful process of sound design, comparable to modeling a work of art. All songs from Hidden Nature are available to listen to on Bandcamp, and you also have the option to purchase these tracks for an amount that suits you. This way you support me as an artist. Of course you can also listen to the songs on Apple Music, Spotify and other streaming services.

FEEL E.P.



featuring Ben Vreeburg

Hidden Nature, the innovative music project led by producer Rick Snel, is excited to announce a long-awaited collaboration with talented singer Ben Vreeburg.

The journey began ten years ago when Rick Snel attended a performance by Ben Vreeburg. Impressed by Vreeburg's powerful voice and captivating stage presence, Snel approached him after the show and asked him to record vocals for two tracks. Over the years, these recordings remained untouched, waiting for the perfect moment to be shared.

Now, a decade later, the time has come. The tracks have been newly mixed and mastered, retaining their original magic while incorporating a fresh, modern sound. The result promises to captivate both longtime fans and new listeners alike.

The project features contributions from fantastic musicians, including guitarist Evert Zeevalkink (both tracks), bassist Kristoffer Gildenlow (on "Soul Healer"), and keyboardist Maurits Boegman (on "Feel").
