Decompartmental: Conversing with Clarence Barlow

摘要

Clarence Barlow (see Figure 1) is a prominent composer of electroacoustic and instrumental music. He studied composition under Bernd Alois Zimmermann (1968-1970) and Karlheinz Stockhausen (1971-1973) and became a pioneer in the field of computer music. He has made advancements in interdisciplinary composition that unite mathematics, computer science, visual arts, and literature. Nevertheless, his music is firmly grounded in tradition and incorporates much from the past. Between 1961 and 2009, Mr. Barlow produced over 60 works of various types, including electroacoustic (see Table 1 and Table 4), orchestral, chamber, choral, vocal, piano, and organ works.
