Radio Rewrite is a 2012 musical composition by the American composer Steve Reich,[1] inspired by two songs by the British rock band Radiohead: "Jigsaw Falling into Place" and "Everything in Its Right Place". It is the first time that Reich has reworked material from western pop or rock music.
Radio Rewrite has five movements, alternating fast and slow, and is scored for clarinet, flute, two violins, viola, cello, two vibraphones, two pianos and electric bass. It premiered in London in 2013, performed by the London Sinfonietta, to a generally positive reception. Attention focused on the Radiohead material; some reviewers praised how completely the work is integrated, while others questioned how suited it was for Reich. Alarm Will Sound made the first recording of the piece for an album released on Nonesuch Records in 2014.[2]
