Compositional style and techniques
Barlow prefers traditional instrumental timbres to electronically synthesized ones because "they sound so much more alive and exciting". 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.References
