Anders Tveit


b. 1977 Oslo, Norway

Improviser and Electro/Acoustic Composer.

" Tveit´s approach is far from reverential and he isn´t afraid to get his hands dirty.

Compare for example the two versions of ”Unkunkunku”in which he adopts the contours of the piece

while changing almost everything else about it,

and in the process suggests an entirely new set of musical relationship."


( The Wire, review of pd conception "phrased silence" )

Been working mainly in the Electro/Acoustic field of music, with a focus on free improvisation and experimental music since 2002.
