Thom Yorke And Damien Rice Soundtrack For Tibet

Thom Yorke has had a busy year sans Radiohead with his newly formed band as well as some solo releases and an appareance on the Twilight: New Moon soundtrack.  Apparently he liked that last gig as he will be teaming up with Irish singer-songwriter Damien Rice and composer Phillip Glass for an original soundtrack to the documentary When The Dragon Swallowed The Sun. 

When The Dragon Swallowed The Sun explores the struggle of a young Tibetan king who is expected to continue a 1400 year old lineage.  It reveals for the first time how he, alongside the peers of his generation, tries to reflect on his history while being forced to redefine his identity in this new world of shifting politics and changing religious devotion.

According to the presumed internet version of director Dirk Simon, in response to a post at awesome music blog Consequence of Sound, the film will be making its world premiere at the Santa Barbara Film Fest Feb 4-14, 2010.  Check out the trailer for the documentary and more at the official site.
