Thom Yorke on Rai Movies

In front of a camera, even for Paul Thomas Anderson, Thom Yorke is extremely nervous, because it is not what he was born to do.

Thom Yorke talks to Rai Movies at the Rome Film Fest in 2020. In front of a camera he is extremely nervous, even with Paul Thomas Anderson, because it is not what he was born to do, so he has to trust the director. Scoring is a different kind of freedom, which he enjoys. Music works when it rubs against the picture. In Being There, Peter Sellers walks out of the house for the first time in his life to music full of energy and swagger, with nothing on his face, and the contrast is powerful to him. What he cannot stand is an explosion scored with an explosion, because adding more makes it sound smaller.
