Q & A about Bodysong
Simon Pummell
The director of Bodysong - Simon Pummell, and the Composer of the music track - Jonny Greenwood, answer some questions. Click on the question to see the answer.
Why did you write Bodysong?
How did you set about developing a project that tells its story entirely through images and music?
How does the website relate to the movie?
What came first the images or the music?
How did you hunt down the range of images in the film?
Jonny Greenwood
It's common knowledge that despite many requests Radiohead have resisted creating music for films. What drew you to the project Bodysong?
What was the biggest challenge of writing a film soundtrack of this size and scope?
What came first the images or the music?
How did your very different experiences as part of Radiohead and your classical musical knowledge contribute to the mix of music you've created for Bodysong?
The film images are a mixture of analogue images (some over 100 years old) and digital images, all compiled, restored and edited into a narrative digitally. Does the process you used to create the soundtrack music reflect that mix?
Simon also recorded an interview, which you may view here
