Thom Yorke


PIANOs

Yamaha Upright Piano


Adopted by the band in 2000 for Pyramid Song,
You and Whose Army?, Karma Police
(used by Jonny instead of the Rhodes)
and lately for the awesome live version of
Like Spinning Plates.
Also used by Thom on a lot of HTTT songs.



Rhodes Suitcase Mark I Piano

A famous electric piano first used by Thom during the OK Computer tour for Subterranean Homesick Alien and Nude/Big Ideas and then for Morning Bell and Everything in Its Right Place.





SYNTHs & KEYs

Korg Prophet 5

A sequential circuits synth used by Thom
on Motion Picture Soundtrack
and probably to record Everything in Its Right Place on Kid A.
It hasn’t been used anymore since it broke during
the South Park gig in Oxford on 7-7-2001: too bad...  :-(
It was used along an Electro-Harmonix Microsynth effect.



Novation Bass Station



Used in 2002 on the early version of Myxomatosis,
it is now used for Backdrifts and Kid A (as a midi controller).

 


Yamaha QY 70 Sequencer/Workstation


This small sequencer is used for electronic compositions:
Thom probably uses it like a sort of sketch book for
his musical ideas and embryons of songs.
In fact you can see Thom using it on MPIE when the band
goes to Australia and those notes in the background sound
similar to the first notes of Sit Down Stand Up...
