It's no longer unusual for real avant-garde composers to have been in a band, and for bands to be interested in a wide range of music. Look at how artists like Aphex Twin are influenced by Nancarrow and Stockhausen. Jonny Greenwood aphexartistavant share on social
I think it should be ambitious and good music does deal with life and art and all these wonderful things. Jonny Greenwood ambitiousartdeal Change image and share on social
There's nothing like sitting in a completely quiet room, and then the strings start up. It's like when you go to the cinema - the first two or three minutes of any film are amazing. Because the screen is so big. The scale. Directors can pretty much do anything for those first few minutes. Jonny Greenwood amazebigcinema share on social
Every American college student goes to college with a hard drive. They take their laptop. There's not a CD player in sight. Jonny Greenwood americancollegedrive Change image and share on social
I don't mind when people are telling me about their 1971 Firebird, but it's the same thing as people telling me about their car or something. It's fine if you have an interest. By talking with me, though, you could be interviewing a novelist about guitars. It's the same thing, except I don't write that well either. Jonny Greenwood carfinefirebird share on social
It's funny, but to me, when you go to a concert hall and hear electronic pieces from the '60s, I think they sound really dated. But when an orchestra plays a piece from that period, and it's going to sound different every time, it feels more modern to me. Jonny Greenwood 60sconcertdate share on social
It's like that scene from The Player when they talk about merging Star Wars and Kramer vs. Kramer, or whatever. You could do that with music and it would just be awful. Jonny Greenwood awfulkramermerge Change image and share on social
I sometimes feel a bit embarrassed to play guitar. There's something - I don't want to sound ungrateful - but there's something very old-fashioned and traditional about it. You meet kids today whose grandparents were in punk bands. It's very old and traditional, but then, so is an orchestra and so is a string section. Jonny Greenwood bandbiteembarrass share on social
