Overview

Lady Bird (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack to the 2017 film of the same name directed by Greta Gerwig. Featuring musical score composed by Jon Brion, the soundtrack was released by Lakeshore Records on November 17, 2017 digitally, followed by a vinyl release on February 23, 2018. An album consisting pre-recorded music heard in the film was released on January 12, 2018 by Sony Music Entertainment. Development Gerwig approached Jon Brion to score music for the film, after she liked some of his works, though could not mention a specific film. While watching the film, Brion thought that Gerwig "perfectly captures a certain very specific, bittersweet feeling in the movie" which resonated with him in the "sense of sympathy and understanding". He did not wanted strings on a film score, but consisted of woodwind ensembles as the woodwind was his favorite part of the orchestra, adding "Once in a while, someone who plays oboe is allowed to play the melody, that’s how it gets used most of the time! And the sound of a wind ensemble is something really beautiful I think." The main theme consisted of an ascending piano line with the wind ensemble playing referred to the "falling down" quality as the rhythm was pushing it forward. Later he did a version which goes up a few notes and drops down and the process goes on which was considered of an "emotional Escher painting". He further went on with electro-acoustic treatment that involved multiple contact pickups, however, he involved PA speakers at different spots around the room and under the piano, to essentially make the piano feedback melodiously and not squealing. He had used some guitar pedals and things while recording the score. Much of the themes had been written when Gerwig and Brion watched the film together, and also played live for Gerwig. Thereafter, he would record the music he had written at his studio. Most of the sessions were held at Rhythm United in Hollywood, Los Angeles, which was considered his favorite and there was a set up of several room mics, which used to employ numerous effects and things fed back underneath the piano, apart from the natural piano sounds.
