Jonny Greenwood: The music that changed me

The Cultural Frontline

Available for over a year

Jonny Greenwood is best known as the guitarist of British rock band Radiohead, but he's also written several pieces for orchestra including film scores for There Will Be Blood and Phantom Thread. He tells us how the dark beauty of Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki's music pushed what an orchestra can do into strange new worlds and influenced his own string arrangements for Radiohead and beyond.
