"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 magazine`s review of pd conception "phrased silence")
