The Radiohead frontman is reportedly studying Tibetan music in order to pen the score for a documentary about the disputed Chinese province.
According to Contactmusic, the singer is collaborating with composer Philip Glass and singer-songwriter Damien Rice to create the music for When The Dragon Swallowed The Sun.
The film will depict Tibet's struggle to regain independence from China, and is expected to feature cameos from longtime Tibetan campaigner Richard Gere and renowned religious leader the Dalai Lama.
