Abingdon, Oxfordshire, England (1985 – present)

Jonny Greenwood is the lead guitarist in the British alternative band Radiohead from Abingdon, Oxfordshire, England. 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 utilizes modular synthesizers, a Korg Kaoss Pad, and a laptop (for voice clips/modulation) on newer tracks. Jonny is one of the most prominent users of the Ondes Martenot, an early electronic musical instrument with a keyboard and slide. Jonny uses the Ondes Martenot on the soundtrack to the film Bodysong.

Apart from his work with Radiohead, Greenwood is also a composer and has produced several neo-classical works as part of his tenure as the BBC’s composer-in-residence. He also composed the soundtracks to the films Bodysong (2003) and There Will Be Blood (2007).

@SlayGannon: Then I'm sorry for my misunderstanding. I didn't know that there actually did exist an artist like that. I see that last.fm messed up about that.

@Harry_01: No no im not looking for the soundtrack to the movie! I mean there is a band called There Will Be Blood, that is totally unrelated to this guy or the movie soundtrack. Nothing wrong with this guy at all, he's just not why i had There Will Be Blood in my library.

@SlayGannon: There is a simple answer to your question, don't listen to it at all if you think so! You know HE is the composer of the "There Will Be Blood" score and There Will Be Blood is NOT an artist. It would be the same if you say "Star Wars" is an artist, though John Williams is the artist who wrote the Star Wars score. You can't do anything against it and if you don't like that, it's definitely your problem.

If you listen to There Will Be Blood directly after Bodysong, the transition form Tehellet to Open Spaces is incredible.
