From Colin’s Twitter: a photo of Jonny with one of his Ondomo (ondes Martenot)!

This photo was taken during a performance of Desert Island Disk. On 2017 performances of that song, Jonny loops his Ondomo using an Akai Headrush E2, then manipulates the frequencies of the loop using a BOSS GE-7 EQ pedal. In the photo above, Jonny can be seen adjusting the sliders of the BOSS GE-7 (you can also see him adjusting the pedal in this video from Miami in 2017).

Jonny’s Ondomo loop on that song consists of the notes G, A, B, C, D, E, and G – all layered on top of eachother (on the radiohead.tv video of the band’s I-Days performance, you can clearly hear Jonny create the loop from 6:14-6:50). By leaving out the seventh note of the scale, Jonny makes it possible to interpret the scale as either the Major (Ionion) mode or the Mixolydian mode.

Thom’s playing sits squarely in G Mixolydian, so it’s a little odd that Jonny would leave out the note. However, since Thom’s guitar part consists predominantly of an alternation between chords on G and F natural, leaving the F natural out of the loop might make the chords on F stand out more strongly and provide a greater feeling of surprise each time that “modal” note is employed (F# is the expected “tonal” note). It probably also makes Ed’s rising and falling scales, which always end on F natural and never reach the final (G), stand out more strongly as well. By leaving out the F natural, it leaves open the possibility that Ed will play an F# leading tone at the peak of a scale and finally reach the G. The fact that this is possible but never occurs adds a certain “floating” character of the song (as do the delay effects on Ed’s guitar).

On 2016 performances of the song, Jonny similarly manipulated the frequencies of an Akai Headrush loop using a BOSS GE-7, but used his Crumar Multiman-S / Orchestrator as the input instead of an Ondomo (which he had not yet acquired).

Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood on scoring the brutal 'You Were Never Really Here' - NME

On March 9 Lynne Ramsay’s bleak but stunning You Were Never Really Here hits cinemas. The story of Joaquin Phoenix’s complex hitman, the score is the work of Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood, fresh from his Oscar nominated turn working on Phantom Thread.

You’re Oscar nominated now – does that mean you get to put your rates up for your next movie?!

“Of course! Do you have Michael Bay’s number? Maybe some sad, atonal string music is exactly what Transformers 7 will need.”

What else are you up to this year?

“Next is some Radiohead touring. Can’t wait to start it. First note of the first show is something I think about a lot.”

What would be your dream kind of movie to score?

“Sci-fi would be refreshing: something with no need to refer to the musical past/present. No reference to anything else. I think I’d enjoy that. I say sci-fi – but… maybe not Transformers.
