Outside of his Radiohead duties, Greenwood has turned his hand to writing soundtracks and has struck up a fruitful working relationship with the There Will Be Blood director Paul Thomas Anderson.

Greenwood is also doing the music for the director’s next one, Inherent Vice (starring Joaquin Phoenix, Josh Brolin, Owen Wilson, Reese Witherspoon and Benecio Del Toro). Back to There Will Be Blood, on August 6th and 7th Jonny will be joined by The London Contemporary Orchestra at the iconic Camden venue to perform the soundtrack in full at a screening of the film. I had the pleasure of talking to him on the phone about bringing this film score to the Roundhouse’s series… Not so long ago Jonny revealed the Radiohead bandmates will regroup this summer to discuss their next album (YES!).
