Paranoid Android and House of Cards arranged by Eric Gorfain
Look Inside
Radiohead Hits for String Quartet. Orchestral in scope, but rock by instrumentation, Radiohead pushed the musical limits of rock music with its 1997 landmark album OK Computer. This arrangement of the album's epic track Â"Paranoid AndroidÂ" will challenge any string quartet. Tricky rhythms and time-signature changes are just the tip of the iceberg for this complex piece of music. Polar opposite in tone to Â"Paranoid AndroidÂ" is the Grammy-nominated song Â"House of CardsÂ" (In Rainbows, 2007), an uncharacteristically relaxed Radiohead love ballad. Melodically deadpan, the crux of the song lies in the rhythmic groove created by the guitar figure faithfully played in this string quartet arrangement by the viola.
