Throwback Thursday: Academy Award Nominated ‘Lady Bird’ Film, Score By Jon Brion!

The gliding strings, flowing woodwind, piano tinkles and acoustic strums marry perfectly with Gerwig’s coming-of-age exploration of identity, adulthood and the particular intimacy of mother-daughter relationships. – Noisey

The film earned five Academy Award® nominations including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress and Best Screenplay.

‘Lady Bird’ Soundtrack: Jon Brion on Composing The Golden Globe Winning Film | Popmatters

1 Comment

Brion’s technique and execution are never in question, his cues tight and memorable, giving Lady Bird‘s recurring theme a slightly descending piano line that serves as the score’s melodic backbone. – Evan Sawdey, Popmatters

For a composer who has been around for a while (his film score creds include Magnolia, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and I Heart Huckabees), Jon Brion exhibits the same amount of gusto if not more for his new projects, notably when talking about his journey of scoring Greta Gerwig’s Golden Globe®-winning film, Lady Bird.  Get the lowdown now at Popmatters.  Have you seen Lady Bird in theaters?
