Radiohead’s Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood have contributed to the score of ‘Stone’, The movie, directed by John Curran, starring Ed Norton & Robert de Niro is out next week. However a soundtrack album is currently not available. The original music is composed by John O’Brien.
Ed Norton told Variety: “I’m friends with the guys in Radiohead, And Jonny Greenwood, who did the incredible score for Paul Anderson’s ‘There Will Be Blood,’ met me in London a while back when John (Curran) and I were developing the script,” Norton recalls.
“So given the spiritual ties in this film, I started talking to him about this idea: ‘What would you use to record this divine-like tuning sound?’ And he and Thom (Yorke) had been playing a lot of weird ambient stuff at the time and so, amazingly, they just unloaded tons and tons of files to us of these sound experiments that they had been doing. We just listened to them in awe until John (Curran) eventually got John O’Brien to come in and see what he could make of it.”
It’s uncertain if the parts make it to the movie or it’s soundtrack. The movie ‘Stone’ is out on October 8th. Watch the trailer below
