Radiohead music to be featured in the movie about Tibet

Radiohead have contributed three songs for the new documentary movie about Tibet. Titled When The Dragon Swallowed The Sun, it tells about the Free Tibet movement.

Created by director Dirk Simon, this movie was seven years in the making and is devoted to the international movement which struggles to free Tibet from Chinese occupation and restore it in its historical borders as independent state.

The movie will also feature music by Irish singer Damien Rice.

Recently it was revealed that two tracks by Radiohead are set to be reworked into classical compositions. They have become the part of the Radio Rewrite project led by famous composer Steve Reich and also featuring musicians from London Sinfonietta.

Steve Reich has chosen Everything In Its Right Place (from Kid A album) and Jigsaw Falling Into Place (from In Rainbows album) to be reworked. The compositions – as well as other tracks by Radio Rewrite project – are set to be premiered in May 2013 during Southbank Music Festival in London.
