One of the elements in my music is an obsession for equal and unequal sounding identical information. Luckily I never had this obsession treated.

I touch you

I Touch You (1980)

I Touch You for multi-track tape is inspired by the story of Odysseus sailing past the island of the Sirens, and the poem I Touch You by the American poet, Philip Lamantia.

It was realized at the studios of the Utrecht Conservatory, Ton Bruynèl and the Institute of Sonology in Utrecht.

I Touch You, 13'33

Robert Nasveld’s set of the Complete Works for One Piano by George Crumb is well worth having.

Peter Dickinson in Gramophone

Robert Nasveld presents a wonderful example of the bitter melancholy that is the essence of the blues with his beautiful Frozen Blues.

Frits van der Waa, Volkskrant

He understands my music as no other.

George Crumb in NRC Handelsblad

Nasveld has always been a wayward composer, showing little interest in trends.

Frits van der Waa, Volkskrant

Robert Nasveld writes exceptionally beautiful music, although its beauty is not pastoral, but contradictory, unstable, disturbing, capable of stimulating all spiritual forces of the listener.

Robert Nasveld’s music presented surprising power of expression.

Frau Dr. Alena Borková in Rovnost

Crumb himself could not have wished for a better recording.

Volkskrant, CD review

When you are at a dead end with a student, ‘Hand over Hand’ has funny, exciting, sensitive pieces to make him/her enthusiastic again.

EPTA

Even when things could theoretically become serious, for example in Six Cavafy songs (2009), a song cycle using the poetry of Greek poet Kavafis, the tone remains springlike and sparking.

Jochem ValkenburgNRC

My reference for comparison with Crumb’s Makrokosmos IV is that of Robert Nasveld on the Attacca label, 9371 and 9372. My main reason for selecting this version is that it has always come out on top, all other recordings which I have come across long having gone by the wayside.
