Canadiske Lesley Barber har senest komponeret underlægningsmusik til Kenneth Lonergans drama ”Manchester by the Sea”, som havde dansk biografpremiere torsdag 19. januar.
Selvom "Manchester by the Sea" ligger lunt i svinget til årets oscarnomineringer, er Lesley Barbers musik ikke med i opløbet. Det Amerikanske Filmakademi valgte at diskvalificere lydsporet, fordi det indeholder flere eksisterende stykker klassisk musik, der anvendes på linje med Barbers nykomponerede cues. (Diskvalificeringen skete, efter at det nedenstående interview fandt sted.)
Lesley Barber har tidligere skrevet musik til bl.a. Kenneth Lonergans ”You Can Count on Me” (2001), Mary Harrons ”The Moth Diaries” (2011) og Patricia Rozemas ”Mansfield Park” (1999). Uddrag fra mange af Lesley Barbers scores kan høres på hendes hjemmeside, lesleybarber.com.
Barber er medlem af Alliance for Women Film Composers.
