Who Is Jon Brion?
Jon Brion is an American musician, producer and film composer whose career stretches back to session and production work in the 1990s with artists including Aimee Mann, Fiona Apple, Robyn Hitchcock and Kanye West. His transition into film scoring, beginning with Paul Thomas Anderson's Magnolia and Michel Gondry's Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, established him as one of the more distinctive voices in film music, even without the mainstream name recognition of composers like Hans Zimmer or Thomas Newman. By the time of Lady Bird, Brion had scored more than 20 films.
About The Score
Director Greta Gerwig approached Brion to score Lady Bird after admiring his earlier work, and he responded to what he called the film's bittersweet, specific emotional register. Rather than lean on strings for drama, Brion built the score around a small wind ensemble, calling the sound of massed woodwinds one of the most beautiful things in orchestral music. The result is a compact, 27 minute score of mostly short cues, light on percussion and heavy on quiet, melodic warmth that mirrors the film's own modest scale and understated emotional honesty.
