He also plays piano, organ, viola, synths, Glockenspiel, harmonica and the Ondes Martenot, among a host of other devices used to enhance the soundscape of many Radiohead songs.
Years active: since 1985.
He also uses modular synthesizers, a Korg Kaoss Pad, and a laptop (for voice clips/modulation) on newer tracks. Jonny also uses a Rhodes Seventy Three piano, a prominent feature during the OK Computer era. Jonny is one of the most prominent users of the Ondes Martenot, an early electronic musical instrument with a keyboard and slide. He uses Ondes Martenot on the soundtrack to the film Bodysong, as well as in Radiohead, and mainly around the Kid A / Amnesiac era, on songs such as 'Pyramid Song' and 'How to Disappear Completely'.
Apart from his work with Radiohead, Greenwood is also a composer, and has produced several classical works, some inspired by Polish composer Penderecki, as part of his tenure as the BBC's composer-in-residence. He also composed the soundtracks to the films Bodysong (2003), There Will Be Blood (2007) and Norwegian Wood (2010). Some of his more recent scores include We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011) and a return to working with director Paul Thomas Anderson, in his latest film The Master (2012).

I’m an oil man,
These are my sheep;
Let them flock to you
And they’ll take your meat;
And with this flesh
An empire is born,
While no aubade,
Becomes my score.
I’m a religious man,
These are my sheep;
Let them flock to me
And I’ll take their meat;
And with this flesh
An empire is born,
While many aubades,
Become my score.
Aubade: a piece sung or played outdoors at dawn, usually as a compliment to someone.

It's impossible for me to express how empirically well-done this is.
@azzyclark3860
There Will Be Blood. The greatest film of the 2000s hands down.
@garymitrovic2503
Harrison Clark Whole heartedly agree. I'm slightly obsessed with this film. This is my favourite composition on the album as well.
@SteveJobzz
Alongside No Country for Old Men.

1.City of God 2.There Will Be Blood 3. Downfall, that's how I would rate it. All three movies had me thinking about them for weeks after, especially There Will Be Blood. I can't put my finger on it but the movie had me hooked from start to finish and even when it ended I still wanted more.
@2545poc
100% agreed! 2007 was a benchmark for film in general - There Will Be Blood & No County For Old Men. Ironically,
both films were filmed at the same time and in the same location. Both of those films have been 2 of the best films in the last 25 years, arguably. Jonny Greenwood is a genius, and this score is a testament to that.
@leodouble3922
Mulholland Drive not bad though, but I agree There Will Be Blood kicks asses
@JarodRebuck
One of the best music pieces I’ve ever heard. I get extremely emotional—to the point of weeping—in listening to this. I think of deceased loved ones, precious memories, and weep. Such an emotional piece.
@velislavkovatchev7240
This was played in the most powerful scene in the whole movie. Before the scene, Daniel tells his son that he is not his real father and stats insulting him. From that it becomes apparent that he will never see him again. And after H.W. leaves. the camera focuses on Daniel who tries to remember something. This is where the greatest scene of the film is shown - just a small, happy memory of Daniel and his son fooling around. Nothing too special. But it is when Daniel realizes that he won't see his son ever again, that he recalls this beautiful memory. I think the scene shows that even though he mainly used H.W. as a way to make more money, Daniel actually loved him, somewhere deep down. I guess this scene shows that it's the little things that matter the most.

Not to mention immediately after, Daniel is shown slowly climbing down to the basement, his face clearly showing distress, where he proceeds to get blackout drunk and later murder a fool, knowing full well it would be the end of him, clearly stated by the man himself "I'm finished". He loved his son. He was just too pigheaded to realize it
