Barlow introduces some quirky, if not humorous terminology that he has applied in his own compositions. As there are few terms created specifically for electroacoustic music, here is someone who has created his own terminology based on the merging of two words: Klanglomeration (Sound and agglomeration), Schwallwellenreiten (literally riding flood waves), Transzeitlichkeit (Across time-ness), Synthrumentation (the application of additive synthesis based on acoustics information of acoustic instruments) and Spektastik (Spectrum merged with stochastic). He provides visual examples of all of these techniques along with their descriptions.
