- Radiohead's "Bloom," remixed for the ocean.

If you listen closely enough to Radiohead and Hans Zimmer’s rework of “Bloom” for Blue Planet II, you can hear a really fascinating orchestral trick at work. They call it the “tidal orchestra” - it’s a musical effect created by instructing each player to play their notes only if the person next to them isn’t playing. The result is a randomly swelling and fading musical bed for the entire series that captures the feeling of ocean waves. It’s a captivating way to score a soundtrack for the ocean - but it also fits in with a long history of capturing randomness in music composition.
"(ocean) bloom"
Created by Hans Zimmer and Radiohead
In collaboration with Bleeding Fingers
Music Produced by Russell Emanuel
Recorded by Geoff Foster at Air Lyndhurst Studios
Mixed by Nigel Godrich, Geoff Foster and Russell Emanuel

_Wish_ this was longer.
That's my biggest issue with Vox.
Yer stuff is too short, sometimes.
Still love it though. Thanks
Wait... Jonny actually speaks?
This is fascinating, but the most fascinating thing about this video is that Johnny Greenwood said something.
@MyTH Lol ikr?!!
😄
Search, and find.
I’m excited
I thought he was a mute for a while 😂
Musical legends coming together to make magic. Fantastic video Vox!
Thank you BBC earth
BBC and Vox is a big fan of Radiohead. 🖖😄
Can you please advise if this track will ever be available for purchase?!
i love how vox is a huge radiohead fan
subterranean homesick alien and BBC documentaries fan. I knew they'd do a video on this, glad I wasn't disappointed. Also, cool username :)
I dont really like them that much to be honest. Hans Zimmer alone would of be good. Imagine Hans Zimmer and David bowie. If only :(
Me too!!!
I love you as a Radiohead fan
Don't forget Vice before Vice News was essentially what Vox is trying to be now, and look at what happened to them. They are entirely irrelevant now.
Every channel has its golden age.
Wonderful video guys!
First Like 😘
BBC Earth Unplugged you got a love from the VOX?! O_O
Woah
More like Vox got a comment from BBC Earth??!!
@@birdwife589 jeez
I think Jonny's contribution is downplayed again here, the guy is a genius
Samuel Ashton YES THANK YOU
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
As per usual smdh
I'm in awe of Jonny's talent!
Samuel Ashton I think that’s a product of his nature. He seems to be a very private person that doesn’t talk that much in interviews, it’s not that he’s under appreciated, it’s more that he chooses not to take the spotlight. If anything they’re all pretty private.
"Hey, Hans Zimmer. How was it working with Radiohead?"
"That's a bit of a dodgy question."
Hahahahaha
And here is the answer ! 😂😂
Hahahaa m
3:38 thom: if you stare at the ocean long enough.... *pretends to stare at ocean
😂
XD
This is my first time hearing jonny speak whoa
Forte ngl I really like the fact that he is so quiet and reserved off stage and a crazy guitar god onstage.
empty sky i know right?
There is a really cool interview with him discussing the Ondes Martenot, one of the electronic instruments similar to a theremin, which is a big part of Kid A.
Paper Tiger link?? Pls????

Hans Zimmer and Radiohead.
What a collaboration. Insane amount of talent.
I love radiohead and hans Zimmer so much it's extremely hard to even believe they're working together .... It's like a dream
You mean a ...Nice Dream?...
For me there are truly... No Surprises... sorry.
Thank you I agree
Bloom was always low-key one of the best Radiohead tracks. So cool that they're revisiting this song
When Thom hits those lingering high notes, I just melt completely. My entire body just gets chills.
Couldn't have chosen a better track than Bloom, Thom's vocals are dauntingly soothing and mystifying
Fat the, it sounds like muslims prayer
In hindsight it feels so obvious that these two epic forces should come together someday.
Only 2? =/
Souless Memelord Haha OK ;)
Could you imagine being a fly in the wall!?!?!
3:39 is exactly the face I made when I first discovered Radiohead
i cried a bit, thanks for that!
Thirty second ads should be punishable by death
Nic Montero I got to this video bec. of a 5 min. ad about Radiohead. Lol
Ad Block exists ya know
UA-cam Premium.
@@invertedgames7993 Ublock Origin extension on Chrome FTW! I honestly used to leave the room or mute ads before Ad blocking, all whilst swearing at the product and promising never to purchase anything I've seen in an ad.
How about 3 min unskipable ads on TV? Would death be to kind?
Love that little nod between Thom and Jonny - of knowing.
Blue planet was visually amazing but with the music it's a masterpiece
and that's why a lot of people tend to watch the show when they are high.
@carcosa it's funny how people assume 'a lot of people' is doing something only because they are doing it themselves. Guess what, all the people I know who watched the show and enjoyed it, don't get 'high'. You don't need stimulants to enjoy something beautiful, so you kind of missing the point.
@@dawidjagusiak yeah but what about if the part of the brain that controls how we perceive music what if that part of their brain isn't working and the only way is to get high, so the chemicals go to the part of the brain that controls music or I think it's cortex? Sorry if I made no sense
Johhny in his head during the interview, "Not here Thom, not him.. "
Thom Yorke: Brilliant musician, terrible judge of pants.
Right?!?! I'm pretty sure that was actually just a sweatshirt that he was wearing on his legs.
If Yorke is wearing sweatshirt pants, the neck hole alone would have many applications. Brilliant man.
hungryhippo09 still, much respect
We'll all be wearing those pants in the future.
TheParanoidAndroid79 hang on...but we are wearing those pants
It's great to hear Jonny speak.
*Hans is so good that they should start putting his name in those leafy golden brackets in the start*
*Because hans zimmer composing your score is an accomplishment right there*
*cough*amazing spiderman 2*cough*
A J Zimmer sucks is he isn't playing with Nolan
He's alright but he does have a small army of composers who do a lot of the heavy lifting on big projects
cis62196 that's even more impressive that he can get his vision out through them
Jamers Rfta great sountrack if you listen to it by itself it feels really really triumphant
It's awesome how genuine Jonny is
his interstellar soundtrack though
Jesper Wiebke it's a nut
Will make you feel like someone who is just emtional
Jesper Wiebke If y'all like interstellar ost you should listen to Phillip Glass Koyanisquatsi OST which was main influence for Hans
It DESERVES THE RECOGNITION
Jesper Wiebke Oh yeah. The Interstellar score changed my life.
It's not that it's emotional, it's the fact that it perfectly encapsulates that "greater than day to day" life feeling.
Hans Zimmer
One of the greatest composers in modern history -
"Ya, the King of Limbs sounds good"
you can repeat it all you want but you are wrong. he is most definitely a composer in every definition of the word.
*correction
Hans Zimmer
One of the most *well-known* and by a very general audience loved *film* composers in modern history.
If you're talking about real composers I'm missing names like Georg Friedrich Haas & Thomas Ades.
yes
I think Zimmer is a very practical composer that Is hired for his consistency, I don't think he has really produced anything really remarkable though.
Ivor Biggan one of the best not the best.
Fascinating how this one song can be adapted in so many beautiful ways. The idea stays the same even if the form changes!
Hans and Radiohead? How did I not know of this???
I like how Johnny brings the focus back afterwards in a complemented way
I feel like many of the viewers think that Hans Zimmer is the one that completely changed the song, it is different to the 2011 version, but if you watch the video of Thom playing it live in 2016 it's much more similar. I still love Hans Zimmer, he is probably my favourite soundtrack composer and Radiohead is by far my favorite band. Great video.
Gonzalo García Chavez exactly! I recognized it right away from live performances.
Same dude, Zimmer is also my favourite cinematic producer. Radiohead is my favourite band. And this collaboration was heaven for me.
*"Open your mouth wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide"*
RushingDolphin How could you listen to such a dumb song?
Nessie Andrew Excuse me?
A dentist would use this soundtrack. I'm kidding. Don't take the lyric too literally
Dumb song? You have a better score ?
Let me hear it
Stallone Santiago "Open your mouth wiiiide!" WTH is wrong with you people? Is this considered music nowadays. The best score would have been made by Hans Zimmer alone. The Radiohead vocals ruins the entire song.
Two of the greatest artists of their respective fields ❤️
VB MUTT three
Virus Inferno I am talking about Radiohead and Hans Zimmer..
same field
donald marshall???
How the heck is Zimmer Greatest artist of film scores.
That feeling when you finally heard johnny's voice😍
Personally think they should’ve used Weird Fishes, but that’s just me
but it's not exactly about the oceans tho, the fishes are humans
this song is directly about nature and the oceans
Such a great song! One of my favs!!
@@aleynalimon7850 honestly any Radiohead song is so beautiful composed (excluding Pablo honey, lol) it could be rearranged to a cinematic theme. Btw I love Pablo honey so don’t come at me I know some people who feel that way, I don’t know why but they do. Ok done messing around
@@teethsjuice :)
But Bloom does the job better in my opinion
Beautiful! I love Hans, he's responsible for some of my favorite scores.
Kassie Mitchell One Piece? Your profile pic...
I love the song he composed called "Time" in Inception.
What's a score?
Matt G Musical scores... Instrumentals, the background music for movies.
He doesn't write scores. He writes soundtracks. You can say it's the same thing, but his mindless garbage doesn't warrant being called anything else but chord masturbation or soundtracks.
Radiohead.... as relevant as they ever were. Favorite of all time. Better than the best.
It seems _Radiohead_ has always been a pioneer of something! And man does Hans Zimmer add class to anything with his music; guy's a legend. Good video Christophe and Gina 😄
The best band in the world.
Absolutely
Gavin C. Ever
Is there a doubt?
I expected at least one hate comment out of the three, now I'm happy
Fans of other bands: TRIGGERED
I listen to this on repeat and cry. I cannot express how much I love the beauty of the ocean, how powerful it is yet so fragile, and this complete perfect expression of everything the water on our planet is, is astonishing. Thom and Johnny's musical genius combined with hanz zimmer is simply the greatest thing to happen to humanity. An angelic voice with the crashing of the waves, the chaotic rise and fall of the music is gorgeous and I refuse to listen to anything else.
I could listen to Jonny talk about music for a good 12 hours
I adore the way Jonny stays utterly mute and lets Hans and Thom talk for the entire interview, then chimes in at the end for the perfect, succinct, thoughtful wrap up.
Radiohead is finally where they deserve, with the greats and not just the alternative movement.
Multiple members of my family worked on the original blue planet it's such an ambitious project and I'm glad they're still going all out with the production like this. It really honours the hard work and passion of everyone involved
This rework of Bloom is one of the best things I've ever heard. Great job to all these guys.
anything Hans touches turns to an instant classic
*Finishes Interview*
Thom: "Ok guys, I'm gone"
*Hops out of room*
videos like this make me re-fall in love with music. amazing job
Two of my favorite musicians working together, this really excites me. It is also quite a coincidence for me as I have been listening to specifically just Hans Zimmer and Radiohead a lot recently, so for them to work together really is something.
Imagine being able to hangout in the studio with these 3 musical geniuses.
Wow, Johnny can talk!
I always figured he just used telepathic communication.
Look into Johnny's scores and solo work (Junun) and be amazed
Also for the movies There Will Be Blood, Inherent Vice and The Masters.
And Body Song
Daniel Walker and we need to talk about kevin.
I love when Jonny speaks. He doesn't say much, but he seems so sympathic.
Came for the music, stayed for the ASMR 5:26
Thanks for sharing this. Fascinating look at composition and creation
I love these videos, please don't stop making these.
I just love when the orchestra starts playing one note at the beginning of the show for them to tune their instruments. I sometimes wish they can just keep doing it the entire show, I would be completely happy with it.
Jonny never gets old... seriosuly. And Thom.. my gawd be mine!!!! soundtrack is majestic
This song was a masterpiece I just want to drift away into the deep every time I listen to it.
Yes we need more of this music stuff man! This was incredible
Man whoever edited this video was just great. All VOX videos are so well edited and how smoothly transitions are just makes me wanna watch more. I wish If I could learn video editing like this. Kuddos to editor and the whole team :)
I know Vox has editors that are Radiohead fans, and imagine their feelings while having them right there, in their studio...
It's not their studio
It's a BBC interview, sadly.
I want those nerds to meet them. Let's crowdfund.
Hans zimmer again with an amazing masterpiece.
but... it's mostly radiohead...
I've seen Hans Zimmer Live twice. He is a composer
Radiohead 90%. Hans Zimmer 10%
4:00 Thank you, I never knew that there were different ways of composing music. I love this content.
Everytime I hear his music I get chills and goosebumps. Something very rare to happen to me
reminds me of sigur ros
Hazman Rostam Yeah. I think they used a similar technique in the beginning of takk
Such an ethereal and goosebumps
transcendtient uhh Sigur Ros has been around long before Radiohead made the original song.
transcendtient Takk is from 2005, tkol is from 2012
Radiohead had nothing like this before Sigur Rós did.
Hazman Rostam I'm going to listen to Sæglópur now.
The tidal orchestra is basically Xenniakis' granularity or what we know now as granular synthesis
This video is phenomenal! Love your videos
The one in charge of the motion graphics of this channel is a master. One of my Fav channels. Thanks for your content. It’s always a pleasure to re-watch videos like this.
Hans Zimmer makes the BEST soundtracks and music for movies
What a beautiful analogy and allegory for life itself - trillions upon trillions of life forms upon this blue planet, with the occasional one rising to create a melody, an impact, before sinking back into the anonymous background that is time. We may be insignificant, but we are all a part of the whole. 💖🌏🌍🌎💖
I couldn't have said it better myself!
Billions of billions of microscopic bits of plastic.
Billions of billions of innocents murdered for human taste.
Good grief, what a video and what an inspired production. I cannot wait
I love when talented folks get together and make things like this, THNX A TON VOX, dope video!!!!!..
Hans Zimmer transformed The Amazing Spiderman.
Batman dark night too
I'm here for Radiohead but I got to give huge praise to BBC, they produce amazing nature series, I just finished Human Planet last week and it was superb.
These Vox Radiohead videos make my day, keep them coming!
these videos are next level !! thanks for this one
Hans Zimmer, fooking music god
What's up with Tom's pants?
Edit: Sorry, I heard "Tom" at 5:54 and 6:08 and missed his name at 1:33
Ignat Remizov whats up with you not knowing how to spell his name?
Ignat Remizov its thom. i dont really care, just strange to see someone who knows him but not how his name is spelt
Hammer Time!
When you're in Radiohead, you can wear whatever you damn well please
Yeah, Radiohead isn't really known for being conventional ayy.
i love your channel as well as i love music more than most things in my life thanks for the nice content and education that you provide here :)
to hear great artists talk about their craft and process...Thom and Johnny have been in my life for 25 years now. we've come a long way.
I'm a simple man. I see Hans Zimmer, I get Interstellar flashbacks.
Inception had a way better soundtrack
Crysis 2(video game) also featured Hans zimmer
Bruno Jimmy
Not necesarly
Simple minded too I guess
A very, very simple man indeed.
blue planet 2?! is David commentating again? I gotta get up to speed!!!
Moth Tolias he never stopped!
Slime
I fell in love with that live version from Paris and always wished I could hear that piano version as an actual studio track. This video made me so happy.
Thanks for mentioning my channel :). Amazing work guys!
Am I the only one who loves Thom's pants ? 🤔🤷♀️
Thom's tailor is the only non-genius in this video.
They're also a tinker, soldier, sailor, rich, poor, a beggar, and a thief.
"I have a stylist" -Thom Yorke.
he's wearing rick owens
It's a comfort thing
How could you not like this!?!?!?!! God damn beautiful
Thom looks super inspired while doing this! its amazing!
Thom Yorke's pants is something I'd wear to class
he's hiding his d lol
Is Thom Yorke really wearing Hammer pants?
3 Greatest musicians of all time sitting together. There's nothing to say nothing to doubt. Legendary!
I saw Hans Zimmer live a few months ago he’s amazing. What a collab Radiohead are legends also.
I hope one day my art gets me far enough to work with Radiohead or Hans Zimmer!
🙏🙏🙏
Same
Phillip Timothy best of luck my man.
Arhum Kammran thank you! 🙏
Good luck!
Those pants though. What would he do in an emergency? You can't run in those things.
holdmybeer , in case of emergency, remove pants. That's my motto.
King of Limbs has my favourite lyrics of all Radiohead albums. They're so vivid and nature inspired.
Love the way you crack Radiohead's songs ♥
I've played Terry Riley's in C. That was well... fun?
Math, painting and music come together ...
Beautiful soundtrak, i loved watching Radiohead and Hans Zimmer together.
Hans Zimmer AND Radiohead. What a time to be alive!
