Top Comments of this video!! :3
"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.

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.

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.

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!
