'''Clarence Barlow''' (also Klarenz, born 27 December 1945) is a [[composer]] of [[European classical music|classical]] and [[electroacoustic music|electroacoustic]] works.

==Education==
Barlow was born in Calcutta, India. Barlow is a member of the anglophone minority and of [[United Kingdom|British]] and [[Portuguese people|Portuguese]] descent. He studied at the [[Calcutta University]], at the [[Trinity College of Music]] in London (Calcutta Centre), at the [[Hochschule für Musik Köln]] (Music University Cologne) and at the [[Institute of Sonology]] at [[Utrecht University]].

==Career==
Barlow was one of the founders of Initiative Musik und Informatik Köln. In 1988 he was the director of music at the [[International Computer Music Conference]] in Cologne.{{sfn|Anon.|2014}} From 1990 to 1994, Barlow was the artistic director of the [[Institute of Sonology]], at the [[Royal Conservatory of The Hague]], where he also taught in the composition department.{{sfn|Wilson|2001}}

==Compositional style and techniques==
Barlow prefers traditional instrumental timbres to electronically synthesized ones because "they sound so much more alive and exciting".{{sfn|Kaske|1985|loc=23}} Although for this reason most of his works have been written for traditional instruments, he has frequently used the computer to generate the structures of his works. His comprehensive theory of tonality and metrics was first tested in the piano work ''Çoǧluotobüsişletmesi'' (1975–79). Spectral analysis and instrumental resynthesis of human speech has also played an important role in his compositions.{{sfn|Wilson|2001}}
