How Jonny saved the Ondes Martenot

In this video I tell the fascinating story of Jonny Greenwood's relationship with the Ondes Martenot, an early electronic instrument most famously used in Messiaen's Turangalîla-Symphonie. After its creator's death it was in danger of disappearing, but the spotlight Jonny shone on it have helped completely reverse its fortunes.

I think you should interview Jonny in this channel. I can't even imagine how valuable it's gonna be.

A nice reference for those who are not familiar is Radiohead’s “How To Disappear Completely”, specially the “Live at Canal Plus” version, which features an ensemble of six Ondes, one played by Jonny himself.

The song "L'exil" released in 1976 by the french canadian prog rock band "Harmonium" features a beatiful Ondes Martenot solo

This is a great example of what a successful musician should do to give back to the community. Thanks a million Johnny Greenwood!

I thought that 'La Palme' speaker was a lute of some sort from the thumbnail. It produces such an interesting sound. Thank you so much for this David!

"How To Disappear Completely" live at Canal+ Studio is probably my favorite Radiohead performance featuring the instrument. Also I think Ill Wind is yet another underrated Radiohead song worth mentioning here. Jonny's Ondes part is simple yet full of soul and emotion, it's a polar opposite to his typical manic guitar "abuse" on some of their grungy songs.

The Ondes Martenot is one of my very favorite instruments ever made, and has been for years. It's so good to know that it survives.

Jonny played the Ondes Martenot on Radiohead's one and only appearance on SNL in 2000 while performing the National Anthem. I watched it live and wondered what in the world was he doing?!? He also played the OM, same song, on Jools Holland. So I would say a lot of Radiohead fans saw the OM more than 20 years ago but without a clue what it was. Kudos to Jonny for always pushing the envelope.

As much as I respect Boulez as a composer and conductor, he sure could be a real [expletive] sometimes, especially to his mentor Messiaen. A Five Composers video including an ondes is a great idea! Can't wait.

I have a distant memory of hearing a quote by Stravinsky who when asked why he didn't write for the instrument replied "why would anyone want to hear the sound of bowel movements in music". I am sure this has been paraphrased beyond recognition and I couldn't find anything online (maybe it wasn't even Stravinsky...) The tone and the visual sight of the instrument with its Palme speaker has long since haunted me since performing in a Three Choirs Festival rendition of Messiaen's Trois Petites Liturgies and I would dearly love to play one someday.

Wow, I thought I knew all contemporary instruments, and yet there is one that I never even heard of before. Very interesting! Also, I'd love to see the 5 composers 1 Ondes Martenot video

I knew that Jean-Loup Dierstein, the mythic repairman for analogue gear in Paris had recreated from scratch Ondes Martenot for Jonny Greenwood, but I never realized that Greenwood passion for the instrument triggered a revival with new manufacturers. Great video !

After hearing the Ondes in The Exterminating Angel I began a 3 year research project on the instrument and acquiring one and I’m so excited that I currently have an Ondomo being made for me and should be ready to ship next month! This is by far the best and most succinct video with all of the information I spent years doing personal research on. Excellent job!

Radiohead in general are so experimental and game changing with their music. They are grossly underappreciated.

Turangalila Symphony is my favourite classical piece. It's amazing, I very highly recommend it to everyone

Great video. Jonny is a legend, and the ondes such a versatile instrument. I remember seeing him talk about it back when they started using it. The Kid A live in paris video in particular really shows it off. Beautiful tones.
