It is unclear if Clarence Barlow had. There is no information about his children on the internet as he loved to keep his personal life away from the internet.
Barlow was one of the founders of Initiative Musik und Informatik Koln. In 1988, he was the director of music at the International Computer Music Conference in Cologne.
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.
Barlow was the Corwin Endowed Chair and head of composition at the University of California, Santa Barbara’s Music Department from 2009 to 2019. Barlow preferred traditional instrumental timbres to electronically synthesized ones because “they sound so much more alive and exciting”.
