Radio 3 airs Jonny Greenwood's Doghouse, music for Norwegian Wood
BBC Radio 3 broadcast Jonny Greenwood's new orchestral piece Doghouse on Afternoon on 3 at 2pm on Friday 19 March. Its music is going into his score for Norwegian Wood, the Vietnamese-French director Tran Anh Hung's film of Haruki Murakami's novel.
Doghouse is written for string trio and large orchestra and runs about 20 minutes. The BBC Concert Orchestra gave the world premiere under Robert Ziegler at the BBC's Maida Vale studios in London on 28 February, in a programme of film music. Before the piece, the presenter Sara Mohr-Pietsch talked to Greenwood and Ziegler about how it came about.
Tran tells Screen Daily that Greenwood is scoring the film, his first since Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood in 2007. It is in post-production and due in Japanese cinemas in December.
Once we had the first cut, it became clear that this film needed Jonny Greenwood's music.
