❤️ A beautiful review & article has been written about our Woodstock Recording Studio , I feel very honored René van Broekhoven by your beautiful words below addressed to our Woodstock Recording Studio

*******************************
PASSION ……..

What is passion? Passion comes from the Latin 'passio' which means 'passion'. A passion is something you do with heart and soul. Where no costs or effort are spared.

Yesterday I made the long journey to Enschede. More than two hours of driving straight through the Netherlands, only to discover once again that it is less full than what some politicians tell us. The 'Woodstock Studio' of Michiel van Haagen (60) is located on an industrial estate near the German border.

In everyday life he deals in, among other things, receipt rolls, something that is a far cry from what he fills every minute of his spare time with and on which he has spent his last cents in recent years.

Van Haagen radiates warmth and that is what washes over you when you enter the studio. On my journalistic travels around the world I visited the most beautiful and well-known studios, but rarely did I encounter the unique collection of musical instruments and studio equipment that is brought together here.

After having worked in the world of music production for almost fifty years (including as a music journalist and studio owner) and having met many 'key figures' from the world of music recording studios, you would expect to be able to say with confidence: ' I've seen it all! If that is the case, my visit to Michiel van Haagen's musical 'man cave' was a great reunion.

The amount of 'goodies' and collector's items brought together here on approximately five hundred square meters of business space defies all comparison. Even a rough estimate of the value of this unique collection can only lead to an underestimate. A true museum where fans of 'the analogue era' can look around with a smile. But it is much more than a museum.

Everything here in 'vintage' musical instruments and equipment, ready to play and use, is a dream for the demanding and most spoiled musician, band or producer.

But the most special thing is that Van Haagen does not aim for a commercial purpose. 'I collect, but rarely sell anything!' And that he prefers that this special music production environment is used by people who appreciate this unique playing field and create a special product from it.

Such a special 'product' is the band 'Dri3man', consisting of keyboardist/singer Nick Bult, guitarist/singer Ferry van Leeuwen and saxophonist/singer Lo van Gorp. They have spent many hours in the Woodstock Studio building an extensive repertoire of 'classic songs' that they have been performing in the theater for quite some time. If desired, the triumvirate can be expanded with top musicians such as drummer/percussionist/singer Tessa Boonkamp, ​​bassist Marco Dirne, etc.
'Three voices, one sound' is Dri3man's motto and they live up to it. Their activities in

Michiel van Haagen's Woodstock Studio can be regarded as a true symbiosis. The men were able to express themselves musically within the atmosphere of analogue technology, which is still alive and well after the revolution of everything that has been digitized since then. Something that can be deduced, among other things, from the renewed interest in releasing music on gramophone records.

For Van Haagen, this project was a unique opportunity to gain the national attention he deserves with his studio. 'That is a problem we are still struggling with here. The location is often an insurmountable problem for many singer/songwriters, bands and artists.

Moreover, I still miss the network within which I can highlight the possibilities and potential of Woodstock Studio!', he says somewhat dejectedly when saying goodbye. But a moment later he laughs again. 'If a serious party comes forward who wants to rehearse in the studio for a musical project or whatever, they can easily get the key from me! All the beautiful 'vintage' items that we have to offer here only come into their own when they are also used. And anyone who rents the studio for a day or longer will not have to spend any capital on it!'

Let Van Haagen speak and he not only presents his passion for 'analogue music making' but also shows an encyclopedic knowledge of 'vintage' musical instruments and equipment that are often displayed in multiples or (as with his collection of guitars) the wall hangs.

When saying goodbye, he poses for a moment behind the Studer mixing desk and behind one of his three Hammond organs. Then it is time to start the return journey west. Where in two weeks 'Dri3man' will give a private house concert in Studio Westmaas. 'They are not only three fantastic musicians and singers, but also three very 'warm people'.

It doesn't get more analogous!' Michiel shouted to us before we drove off the site with a big smile ❤️
