Christian Clozier (born 1945 in Compiègne) is a French composer of electroacoustic music, improviser and sound diffusion performer. After studying at the GRM in Paris, he founded the Groupe de Musique Expérimentale de Bourges (GMEB) with Françoise Barrière in 1970, and with her ran the Bourges electroacoustic festival Synthèse.
