Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood will release his 2014 orchestral piece "Water" on vinyl November 10th via the Australian Chamber Orchestra and ABC Classics.





The Australian Chamber Orchestra commissioned the piece, which Greenwood wrote after serving as the company's composer in residence in 2012. The composition features strings, piano, flutes, keyboards and the Indian instrument, the tanpura. Per the ACO's website, "Water" was inspired by the Philip Larkin poem of the same name, "which alludes to a glass of water 'where any-angled light would congregate endlessly.'"
