Radiohead's guitarist goes classical
Jonny Greenwood's new orchestral composition
Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood has come up with something quite different.
‘Water,’ a composition penned by Greenwood for the Australian Chamber Orchestra, was written at the orchestra’s Sydney studio at the conclusion of the 2012 Radiohead Australian tour.
The progressive new piece is said to reflect the multi-instrumentalist’s extensive travel, particularly across India, where “the space in Indian classical music and the textures were a big influence.” Greenwood enjoys the demands of orchestra, an entirely “different animal from a recording.”
