As we previously reported, Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood premiered his latest orchestral composition, “Doghouse,” for an intimate crowd at Maida Vale Studios last month. The performance by the BBC Concert Orchestra was recorded for a later broadcast on Radio 3, as well as a short Q&A with Greenwood and conductor Robert Ziegler in which they revealed that the piece will also be used as the score to a forthcoming film based on Haruki Murakami’s novel Norwegian Wood.
Stream the interview and premiere of Greenwood’s new composition/film score, which was written “mostly in hotels and dressing rooms while touring with Radiohead,” at the 33-minute mark (for one week only) here.
In the talk, Greenwood said that his first official follow-up to “Popcorn Superhet Receiver,” which informed the score to Paul Thomas Anderson’s There Will Be Blood, was named after a childhood memory where he was told in a piano lesson that a way to remember the D major chord on the keyboard is that it looks like “a dog living in a house.”
