about

Rutger Hoedemaekers (born 1976) is a Berlin-based composer and producer. Hoedemaekers' interest in music was first sparked when he started making electronic compositions on a Commodore Amiga 500 as a pre-teen. A few years later, he worked as an ambient and techno producer within the emerging Dutch electronic music scene. He enrolled in the Royal Conservatory in The Hague, but left after one year and instead started working with rock bands, gaining experience in writing and producing. Hoedemaekers' first solo project came in the form of About, an indie electro-pop act. About's debut album, "Bongo" was released on Jason Forrest's Cock Rock Disco label in 2006. For live shows, Hoedemaekers was joined on stage by Marg van Eenbergen. In 2007, Hoedemaekers co-produced an album for an indie rock band Voicst alongside Peter Katis (Interpol, The National) and joined the band as a keyboard player. In the same year, Rutger moved to Berlin to start a modular studio in Kreuzberg together with two friends. This studio became a creative hub for composers like Jóhann Jóhannsson, Dustin O’Halloran, and Hildur Gudnadottir. He collaborated with a number of artists, including the New York-based Ethel (string quartet) for Festival Mundial. In Berlin, Rutger started his second solo project under the name Bart Constant. His debut "Tell Yourself Whatever You Have To" was released on PIAS Recordings in 2011 to critical acclaim. His video for the single "Do Better", featuring Dustin O'Halloran, w
