Thom Yorke produces new music for Australian exhibition of Radiohead artwork 
 
 
 
 Thom Yorke has produced a new soundtrack exclusively for Stanley Donwood: The Panic Office, a 
 
 
 
 Presented by Semi-Permanent and launched officially at Carriageworks in Sydney night, the exhibition boasts thousands of original pieces and 25 years' worth of Stanley Donwood art, all accompanied by a bespoke unreleased soundscape composed by Thom Yorke. 
 
 
 
 An eerie mix of ambient textures, experimental sounds, and field recordings titled 'Subterranea', Yorke's soundtrack makes use of the cavernous exhibition space, playing out over three levels of speaker systems; "subs will boom from the floor, mids will echo through the walls, while the highs rain down from the ceiling," according to a press release. 
 
 
 
 Being a Thom Yorke solo piece, 'Subterranea' is closest in tone and style to the more ambient moments of Tomorrow's Modern Boxes or the music for Radiohead's 'Polyfauna' app than anything else in the band's catalogue, though from last night's exhibition, there were a few digitally spoken sections in the vein of 'Fitter, Happier' as well. 
 
 
 
 With no plans to release the music after the exhibition, the soundtrack can only be experienced at The Panic Office, which runs from May 21 - June 6. 
 
 
 
 Good news for Radiohead diehards, apparently "no minute is the same over the 18 days", so you can justify going more than once. 
 
 
 
 Additionally, many of the original pieces at the exhibition will be available for sale, so you can get a Stanley Donwood original for the pool room.

 Thom Yorke of Atoms for Peace performs as part of the Treasure Island Music Festival on October 19, 2013 in San Francisco, California. 
 
 Fun fact: The longest song ever recorded was 1 hour 43 minutes and 40 seconds. 
 
 Radiohead's Thom Yorke has created something about 400 times that. 
 
 Subterranea is 432 hours (or 18 earth days, but who's counting?) built from 25,920 unique minutes of atmospheric, experimental sounds and field recordings produced solely for the purpose of being an ambient soundtrack to Stanley Donwood's Sydney, Australia-based exhibition, The Panic Office . 
 
 On display will be Donwood's original Radiohead album artwork (ranging from the classic OK Computer to 2007's critically acclaimed In Rainbows), as he's been collaborating with Radiohead on album covers since their 1994 album The Bends. 
 
 According to the press release, "Subs will boom from the floor, mids will echo through the walls, and highs rain down from the celing". Talk about a soundscape! 
 
 Unfortunately (or fortunately for our iPhone storage), there are no plans to release this epic track to the public, but here's a little clip for your sonic pleasure. Or, if you want to pop on over to Australia, you've got until June 6 to see/hear a Radiohead-head's dream. 

 Thom Yorke has provided an 'evolving' soundtrack for his collaborator Stanley Donwood called Subterranea that is 432 hours long, with no two minutes being the same. 
 
 It will span the length of the 18-day exhibition, which is entitled 'The Panic Office', and is taking place in Sydney, Australia. 
 
 Donwood has designed the artwork for all of Radiohead's albums from The Bends onwards, along with that of his side-supergroup Atoms for Peace.

 The soundtrack has been described by Triple J as 'an eerie mix of ambient textures, experimental sounds, and field recordings' and will make good use of the exhibition's cavernous space, with subs booming from the floor, mids echoing through the walls, and highs raining down from the ceiling. 
 
 It is said to be similar in style to the more abstract moments on Yorke's most recent album Tomorrow's Modern Boxes, though there is some Fitter, Happier-esque spoken word in there too. 
 
 There are no plans for the music to be released following the exhibition, which runs 21 May to 6 June at Carriageworks in Sydney.

– Radiohead's Thom Yorke has supplied a piece of music to accompany an art exhibit in Australia, and if you started listening to it today, you'd be done on June 17. Yes, his "Subterranea" is 432 hours, or 18 days, long. And as the Independent reports, "no two minutes are the same." The music goes with an exhibit called "The Panic Office" by Stanley Donwood, the artist who designs Radiohead's album covers. So what's it like? "An eerie mix of ambient textures, experimental sounds, and field recordings titled 'Subterranea', Yorke's soundtrack makes use of the cavernous exhibition space, playing out over three levels of speaker systems," says a post at Australia's Triple J. It quotes a press release: "Subs will boom from the floor, mids will echo through the walls, while the highs rain down from the ceiling." It's "built from 25,920 unique minutes of atmospheric, experimental sounds and field recordings produced solely for the purpose of being an ambient soundtrack" to Donwood's exhibit, writes Billboard.
