Suzanne Binet-Audet. She's amazing to hear and watch play; although, I think she's recently retired from playing professionally. So exciting to see her and Jonny together!!
Jonny is probably the most interesting figure in what we think of as the rock era. Enigmatic on stage, a genius in the studio and as a composer, totally mesmerizing in interviews. And attractive in a way that apparently a lot of us hetero guys find a bit disorienting.
once an interviewer asked jonny if he has a girlfriend, and jonny said he's not interested in women or sex (was a fun interview from thequietus website)
3:24 "Why because emm.. i think part of this it's because i cant' sing and i always wanted to be able to playing instruments with words like singing, and there is nothing closer..." This must be a Historic quote (y)
wasn't it "that works like singing"? Since he's talking about how the way the sound comes out and how it's played is similar to a voice (vibratto and all).
Jonny couldn't wait to see her play. She tries to do some small talk but Jonny's just "here's the thing. Do you mind playing so I can see how it's done?" Haha he just watched so carefully. A true musician right there
What a miracle it is to be able to talk to Johnny like that. I am insanely excited to not only hear his music, but to understand his vision of music. Videos like this will always be missed. And I can only wish that Johnny has some decent interviewees in the future who can help bring out his perspective.
What a fucking brilliant performance at the beginning. You'll think I'm lying if I say that I cry every single time that I hear those notes that Jonny is playing there, but I'm not. That melody always brings me to tears, every single fucking time
As a singer (and an instrumentalist) I will say this: anyone can sing once they learn the techniques and more importantly learn to accept their unique vocal range and quality and accept their unique vocal limits too. I don't have a huge range (only 2 octaves) but most material I want to do falls easily within that or can be finessed a bit. So, perhaps he is too shy or doesn't like his vocal sound or can't sing like someone with a truly gifted vocal ability such as David Bowie (in terms of natural tone and amazing range not to mention his technical skill) or Tom York, etc. No matter. The idea about singing is that it is YOU and you gotta accept that you will sound like you and no one else. It is an art that represents you without any artificial interface (i.e., instruments). That is the beauty of singing! Truly unique and emotional because our voice connects directly with our soul ....while all other instruments are a step removed from our soul.
Hmm it’s so familiar to see him talk this much because he’s generally a introvert like myself, but when your put together with someone that comes off as comforting and genuine as Caroline something inside of you forgets that part of you and words just come more comfortably
lmao you are a poser you dont even listen to radiohead or dont even know the names of the members, you just kniw the two most famous song and the most famous album but you dont even listen to it you just know and listen the same 2 and only song that you know because you know only that and only those two about radiohead and literally noothing else not even the albums and the albums from which those songs are same for the most famous and you dont listen to theem
@@simorto em dude just because someone fancies Jonny it doesn't mean they're a poser? Some toxic gatekeepers like you are the reason why so many people leave the fandom.
@@OPquaver lol you are poser like her and still this type of behavior is fro poser, yall do like this to feel part of a community and compensate the fact (both you and her)of knowing nothing about radiohead or members if not top famous song and stop
It's the mark of a great person that the person strives to improve oneself even though that dude is a big part of the band that produced many of the greatest albums of that decade.
i think it's an unearthly combination of intelligence, patience, humility and fascination with this extraordinary man. always struck by a child-like shyness and sense of wonder which he seems to have miraculously maintained through the trials of this world. an antithetical maturity then presents itself in his ability to relate to and work so well with other people, even obviously difficult-albeit tremendously talented ones (thom). lastly, the apparent wisdom to be able to consistently intuit which pursuits are worthwhile?! hard to believe that such people still exist within advanced entropy. perhaps impossible, as a musician, or any artist, to avoid being envious. the darker part of me wonders what the inevitable dark part of him must be. how dark might be the shadow of such a brightness, how deeply flawed the yang.
I wish I was filthy rich and highly connected for the soul purpose of spoiling Johnny's interests and passions. They make the world so much fuller and wonderfull!
His fingers playing the electronic Martenot is so so T.S.Elliot .." A pair of ragged claws scuttling across the floors of silent seas"... they are sea spiders making waves....

Is this Caroline Martel with Jonny or Suzanne Binet-Audet?
Suzanne Binet-Audet. She's amazing to hear and watch play; although, I think she's recently retired from playing professionally. So exciting to see her and Jonny together!!
Thanks!
Radiohead's interviews' archive Can you buy it as DVD somewhere or is it only available digital?
I don’t care if it’s awful, I need to hear jonny sing before I die
I hope soo
Yeah really, he looks like the calmest person of every family who answers questions never says something. 😆
Fr
I can't see jonny greenwood❤

Dude, can’t argue on any of these points
that’s it.
Amen
He is sexy as fuck!
once an interviewer asked jonny if he has a girlfriend, and jonny said he's not interested in women or sex (was a fun interview from thequietus website)
It's incredible to see Jonny talking like this
Dom's Sketch Cast It’s incredible to see Jonny talking
It's incredible to see Jonny talking.
It's incredible to see Jonny
It’s incredible to see
It's incredible
He is so gentle and genuinely interested. I would KILL to talk synths with him for hours and hours
I become a better human being after watching any radiohead member talk about music.
Eu também
I really fucking love this guy. He's really cool. The way he sees music and all. It's inspiring really.
3:24 "Why because emm.. i think part of this it's because i cant' sing and i always wanted to be able to playing instruments with words like singing, and there is nothing closer..." This must be a Historic quote (y)
wasn't it "that works like singing"? Since he's talking about how the way the sound comes out and how it's played is similar to a voice (vibratto and all).
That's why I love playing brass instruments too
when he says 'why? because' he copies her accent for a sec lol
1:50 he is not sure whether he is supposed to kiss her on the cheek, very English problem, so cute
Jonny couldn't wait to see her play. She tries to do some small talk but Jonny's just "here's the thing. Do you mind playing so I can see how it's done?" Haha he just watched so carefully. A true musician right there
Luiz Spindola His preferred language.
Yeahh i noticed that too 😁❤️
I've read that intelligent people often want to skip the small talk, not that the woman isn't intelligent or whatever, but it is cute ahaha
@@user-us9fu5po5c true! She probably wanted to know more about Jonny's music, so it was just two musicians admiring each other haha
jonny is a true msuician, he's never satisfied and doubts his ability to play his instrument well despite being very good at it.
i don't understand how this isn't a more commonly used instrument. it's just so beautiful.
and there weren't written plans so no one really knows how to make them. Reverse engineering is apparently pretty daunting as it's a complex machine
but the french connection is still being made, and it's pretty close to the ondes
Because music has become such an Easy thing to do nowadays that "artist" don't even bother in using instruments anymore , they can barely sing....
they used this instrument in a half of their songs after 1997, just listen
I think it’s due to low timbral range probably
Many years ago (before TH-cam) I thought hearing Jonny speak was the most so mind-blowing... he was so elusive.
I wish someone would write a book on Johnny. Probably one of my favorite musicians.
It's really intriguing to hear him talk about instruments and music. His fascination with music is very inspiring.
Jonny is so excited, Such a humble man. Love him.
jonny is a beautiful person
I love seeing my musical idols meet their idols. It just shows that every great musician has been inspired by another, and it just continues on.
Wow Jonny hasn't been this excited since he attended dragon con
What a miracle it is to be able to talk to Johnny like that. I am insanely excited to not only hear his music, but to understand his vision of music.

such a great and creative musician.i have a lot of admiration for one of the prime radiohead architects.
He is just incredibly adorable.

how awesome! loved hearing jonny speak and educate us on all these magnificent instruments! thanks for this!
Is jonny immortal? He looks 20
Angela Pequeno Wouldn’t be surprised.
Cis male here, but please bite me Jonny
@@burprobrox9134 sounds hot
He stole years from Thom Yorke, who aged 20 years in 10

Jonny's film scores and orchestral work continue to amaze me. Thanks for posting this wonderful piece!

Hmm it’s so familiar to see him talk this much because he’s generally a introvert like myself, but when your put together with someone that comes off as comforting and genuine as Caroline something inside of you forgets that part of you and words just come more comfortably

Hes very unusual. Incredible talent.
An instrument is played with all of the body. That’s so true.
hes so sweet
This was fascinating.
Sooooo good! Now we just need one of him similar to this but showing demos on the guitar!
So talented and so Adorable man
He's like an adorable Goth praying mantis
Bless Jonny Greenwood.
Fantastic! Thanks for uploading!
Without Jonny there was no Radiohead...he was the real star
great musician
Brilliant mind, I love listening to him talk about music!
This is incredible, thank you for uploading it.
I don’t feel like I should be hearing this conversation between them haha
His fingers playing the electronic Martenot is so so T.S.Elliot .." A pair of ragged claws scuttling across the floors of silent seas"... they are sea spiders making waves....
He is a treasure!
1:49 "ah, c'est Jonny Greenwood" how posed, If i was in her place i would probably have screamed ngl
what a beauty was hiding in the vaults!
"Like Elton John meeting Glenn Gould"
This is so cool and interesting! Thank you for posting it.
"Pegame Johnny Greenwood" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 XD
Hahahahha ya no puedo ver este video original 🤣🤣🤣😁😁😁🙏🙏😜🐇
brilliant!
unbelievably charismatic
Thank you TH-cam algorithm!!! This is Gold!
1:49
3:27 imagine being one of the most talented musicians ever but still not being able to sing.
great stuff
I love you jonny greenwood❤❤❤❤
Glad to have been born in this day
what a nice lady
Ooooooh I'd love to hear a full version of the Messiaen on Ondes Martenot
Гениальный музыкант, гениальная группа❤
"... it's like someone like Elton John or something meeting Glenn Gould, you know, someone who plays the instrument properly."
Wow. This is great.
Johnny is a vessel for infinite beauty
Radiohead are the Ondes Martenot of Rock Music. Totally makes sense
This guy is pretty interesting, he should join s band and
That performance was on 2008 in japan, right?
Genio
you can see that look in her eyes that she wants every bit of jonny. but then again... who doesn't?
I want to be that woman hahahahahhaha
what a weird thing to say
Jonny decided to stop aging at 30
lovely
Oh my god, I loved that performance, Jesus Christ...
where can you buy one?
jordan74 there’s French Connections being made which are more modern versions of the Ondes Martenot. I’ve found one on Reverb but it’s £2000
Pet stores, just ask for a jonny. i have one, it's kinda shy tho
Without Jonny Radiohead it wouldn't be the same.
At the beginning, what concert is that, and can I find it on TH-cam?
I believe that it's the one one Japan, Fuji Rock or something
RadioIndieFuzz omg thank you so much
In some point he is talking about Glenn Gould; you need to see the work of him... is awesome..!!
i love hearing jonny saying that vibrato on violin (viola in his case) is awkward, i feel less alone lmao
he is the Howard Roark of this music era
Johnny you forgot the Theremin
Jonny's jacket id please
Faster Jonny!
JG The Man !!
Genio!!!
i also want that instrument but its rare and too expensive :( can't afford.
*Dónde encuentro la entrevista con Subtítulos? :c*
