Thom Yorke Boeken
Thom Yorke is een centrale figuur in de hedendaagse muziek, vooral bekend als leadzanger en belangrijkste songwriter van de band Radiohead. Zijn creatieve proces duikt in ingewikkelde klanklandschappen en emotionele thema's, waarbij hij vaak gitaar en piano gebruikt om zijn visie te articuleren. Yorke's soloprojecten breiden zijn artistieke palet verder uit en bieden een intiemere verkenning van zijn muzikale en conceptuele werelden. Zijn invloed op het muzieklandschap is onmiskenbaar en vormt de koers van alternatieve muziek met zijn kenmerkende aanpak.
I See You incorporates eight interviews from musicians, artists and activists, curated by Thom Yorke. Thom Yorke is responsible for the questions asked during the interviews and also answers the questions for the zine’s preface.Featured names include the environmentalist and writer George Monbiot, Orkney-born performance poet Harry Josephine and director and screenwriter Luca Guadagnino. Further interviews are provided by electronic composer Laurie Spiegel, experimental musician Kali Malone and visual artist Christian Holstad, New York-based painter and printmaker Amy Cutler and Jun Takahashi, founder of fashion brand Undercover.The zine’s artwork is by Stanley Donwood and Tchocky, with additional art courtesy of Holstad. It was designed and produced by Crack Magazine and printed by Generation Press – a leading organisation in sustainable printing.
In which the writings of the authors Thom Yorke and Stanley Donwood are gathered together. This commonplace book includes faxes, notes, fledgling lyrics, sketches, lists of all kinds and scribblings towards nirvana, as were sent between the two authors during the period 1999 to 2000 during the creation of the Radiohead albums Kid A and Amnesiac. This is a document of the creative process and a mirror to the fears, portents and fantasies invoked by the world as its citizens faced a brave new millennium.
