When I was asked to do
this soundtrack, the inten tion was to build it out of elements of
existing tracks. Some of these Alan Parker had already chosen. We worked
for a couple of weeks with unorthodox explorations of some of the
sounds, rhythms and themes of existing tracks. This provided many moods
but I felt some new material was needed as well. So, what you have here,
is a combination of both. For those people who know my records, I have
included (in brackets) the titles which have been obviously raided. I do
not wish anyone to be deceived by the sleeve. However, I am not
revealing all my sources. I leave that for your detection. Three of
these tracks did not make it to the last round - the film. But the music
of this record was chosen to make a compatible collection of moods. I
would like to thank the two Alans, Parker and Marshall, for guidance and
encouragement. I would also like to thank my musical co-producer, Daniel
Lanois, who, with patience and an endless supply of wonderfull
treatments, did some excellent work on this record.I am very pleased to
have done this soundtrack for my first attempt at a score. Birdy is a
special film.
Peter Gabriel
