Whilst these records were being conceived, rehearsed, recorded and
produced, Thom Yorke and Stanley Donwood made hundreds of images.
These ranged from obsessive, insomniac scrawls in biro to
six-foot-square painted canvases, from scissors-and-glue collages
to immense digital landscapes. They utilised every medium they
could find, from sticks and knives to the emerging digital
technologies. The work chronicles their obsessions at the time:
minotaurs, genocide, maps, globalisation, monsters, pylons, dams,
volcanoes, locusts, lightning, helicopters, Hiroshima, show homes
and ring roads. What emerges is a deeply strange portrait of the
years at the commencement of this century. A time that seems an age
ago - but so much remains the same.
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.
The talent behind Radiohead's iconic artwork reveals in his own
words and for the first time the creative process that has driven
his career and earned him a cult reputation. A restless and
prolific figure, Stanley Donwood is widely regarded as one of the
most important visual artists of his generation. His influential
work for Radiohead spans many practices and ever-evolving
aesthetics over a 23-year period, from music packaging to
installations to print-making. Here, for the very first time, he
reveals his personal notebooks, photographs, sketches and abandoned
routes to iconic Radiohead artworks. Arranged chronologically,
chapters are each dedicated to a major work - be it an album cover,
promotional piece or a personal project - presented as a
step-by-step working case study, from speculative ideas and
sketches right through to Photoshop experiments and the finished
piece. Accompanying narratives by Donwood explain the inspirations
and stories behind his creative process and what it is like to work
with the band, told with his typical razor-sharp humour and
generosity of spirit. Featuring a treasury of archive material,
this is the first deep dive into Donwood's creative practice and
the artistic freedom afforded to him by working for a major music
act. There Will Be No Quiet is essential reading, and viewing, for
fans of the band and anyone interested in the explosive mix of
artistic accident, musical ingenuity and creative originality.
