Composer, sound designer and performer CK Barlow has created music and sound designs for dozens of video, live theater and dance projects (see below) and has instrumental pieces licensed to film/TV libraries including Crucial, Pacifica, Jingle Punks, Scorekeepers and Prolific Arts. In late 2010, CK signed with Studio 51 Music, the single largest provider of music to Harpo Productions, to compose for their new business venture with Pacifica Music. She also performs as a soloist and with various ensembles including Out of Context and mJane. Her solo work focuses on performable laptop pieces constructed from field recordings. CK received an M.Mu. with distinction in Music Composition and Theory in April 2002 from UNM. CK's writing has been published in MIT's Computer Music Journal; she's also been interviewed about her work for Leonardo Music Journal. Residencies include STEIM Labs in the Netherlands. |
