In this video I tell the fascinating story of Jonny Greenwood's relationship with the Ondes Martenot, an early electronic instrument most famously used in Messiaen's Turangalîla-Symphonie. After its creator's death it was in danger of disappearing, but the spotlight Jonny shone on it have helped completely reverse its fortunes.

@@christopherrowley7506 I got to sit and observe the band and actually talk to Thom Yorke for about 20 minutes. This was after the release of Kid A. They had a rep in the press as being standoffish, or difficult so I was expecting to just love the music but put their personalities aside. Let me tell you, they’re ALL down to Earth, I was sitting in a tent that included my music gods and they talked to anyone. They just get embarrassed if they get too much praise or attention. I was a nobody, I didn’t even have a pass and was waiting to be spotted and kicked out. Then Thom came in and the guy that did a fan site at the time said Thom usually didn’t stay long so I made my move. I told him how much I absolutely loved the new material and he broke out the biggest smile and thanked me saying the press were hating it (at least in the UK) and it was like talking to any other person. I just think they hated doing press all day, same questions, then playing too. They just want to make music. They’ve all got families. People thought Neil Peart was rude but he said he was incredibly shy and embarrassed being fawned over. I met my hero’s (RH) and they blew me away with joy.!

"How To Disappear Completely" live at Canal+ Studio is probably my favorite Radiohead performance featuring the instrument. Also I think Ill Wind is yet another underrated Radiohead song worth mentioning here. Jonny's Ondes part is simple yet full of soul and emotion, it's a polar opposite to his typical manic guitar "abuse" on some of their grungy songs.

I have a distant memory of hearing a quote by Stravinsky who when asked why he didn't write for the instrument replied "why would anyone want to hear the sound of bowel movements in music". I am sure this has been paraphrased beyond recognition and I couldn't find anything online (maybe it wasn't even Stravinsky...) The tone and the visual sight of the instrument with its Palme speaker has long since haunted me since performing in a Three Choirs Festival rendition of Messiaen's Trois Petites Liturgies and I would dearly love to play one someday.

I bumped into Jonny at a bar in Ireland, Quinlan's, and I was just getting into music composed on the ondes and we sat and chatted through a few pints and I had my Sony Discman and I popped in a couple of CD's with mostly Ondes music on them. I told him I didn't care for the space alien techniques that a lot of people use, that kind of 'from another world' sound, but that when used in a sutler way, it was a very beautiful instrument. He thanked me after we sat and listened and talked about it for about an hour. Than Radiohead put out Kid A, and I was like, Wow. Guess he took our interaction to heart. Been enjoying it ever since.

Jonny played the Ondes Martenot on Radiohead's one and only appearance on SNL in 2000 while performing the National Anthem. I watched it live and wondered what in the world was he doing?!? He also played the OM, same song, on Jools Holland. So I would say a lot of Radiohead fans saw the OM more than 20 years ago but without a clue what it was.

@Noelciaaa 2 года назад

I'd been a Radiohead fan for about a decade now, they'd been my introduction to so many wonderful music genres but I never knew the extent of how rare the Ondes Martenot, so characteristic in their music, really was! I think that's put into words so well, that it feels distinctly "alive", which is highly unusual for an electronic instrument. It does feel like singing! It's absolutely magical and otherworldly, yet so close to our humanity, resonating with our souls. I'm really happy you'd made this video - making us realise that this majestic instrument was close to disappearing but did not... thanks to this band that in general, had been transformative for alt rock!

@jasonblalock4429 3 года назад

7:50 No mention of Elmer Bernstein? He was also a major champion of the Ondes and worked it into most of his late-career scores, like Heavy Metal, The Black Cauldron, and Ghostbusters. Otherwise, nice vid! Always glad to see the Ondes get some attention.

@traewilson5127 3 года назад

I was JUST coming down here to say the same thing! Great minds think alike. It's odd he wasn't brought up seeing as Elmer Bernstein was one of the all-time great film composers. It's certainly how I learned about this instrument - from his scores for Ghostbusters and The Black Cauldron.

@austinshoupe3003 3 года назад

@kirkjohnson717 3 года назад

I didn't expect Elmer Bernstein to be mentioned in the video, but I'm glad to see him get a shout out in the comments. I think one of the things that made his contributions so valuable in the 80s and 90s is that he didn't just use the Ondes in sci-fi and fantasy scores like the ones you mentioned, he also used it just as often in dramas like Roommates, Marie Ward, Age of Innocence, and My Left Foot. And even in the fantasy scores, he often used it counter-intuitively for love themes and tender moments. He didn't just see it as a tool for making weird or unnerving sounds, which many other film composers often did with the ondes and the theremin. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bVt-T8GP-so.html

Like, it made me realize there's actually a lot you can do with this instrument in the right hands; even moreso with the Ondes martenot which has a greater range of potential sound.

I've always loved the Ondes Martenot since I found out about it during my A-levels, but what really solidified my love for it was its use in the OST for Disney's oft-maligned "The Black Cauldron", which was composed by Elmer Bernstein. It's nice to think that even though it hasn't solidifed its place yet, it still found a way to wrangle it's way into the history of such an important company... Even if people don't like the film as much as they should.

I remember that, in the early 2000s, Jonny came to Japan and interviewed a famous ondist Takashi Harada who worked with Messiaen. I read the article in a magazine and Jonny seemed so studious of OM. OM was also featured in the soundtrack of ”Revenant (2015)” composed by Ryuichi Sakamoto who studied Messiaen’s music in the early 70s. In which another ondist Motoko Oya played the beautiful score. I’m sure that Ondes Martenot will never disappear completely and never be abandoned. 😄

When I was very young the school took us to a theater to listen to a concert and explanations about the Ondes Martenot. The instrument filled the whole stage with many extra speakers each adding a different type of resonance. I must have been 8 or 9 years old, and I had been fascinated by this "machine" and the sounds that came out of it. I then became interested in musique concrète, and later in sampling and modular synthesizers. I think that the discovery that day of the Ondes Martenot totally shaped my desire and my vision of music by placing electronics and electromechanical machines at the center of sound generation.

I wasn't aware of the instrument before today, but it already has a built-in fascination.

Lev Termen (Leon Theremin), for the record, was also a cellist. And a very talented one at that. He came across his inspiration for the theremin in a different way (he included a pitch indicator in a gas density measuring device for the Soviet military, which also happened to pick up the proximity of his hand), and thus designed his instrument with different operational mechanics. But the principles behind it are in many ways quite similar. And equally beautiful - perhaps even more, if my bias has anything to say about it.
