Radiohead songs will become classical compositions

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.

Recently Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood announced new album. Recorded in collaboration with Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki, it features classical compositions. The record is titled simply Jonny Greenwood/Krzysztof Penderecki, its release is set for the middle of March.

According to Jonny Greenwood, the album features four compositions – two by Penderecki and another two by himself. One of them is Popcorn Superhet Receiver, the track he has written for upcoming There Will Be Blood movie.
