Wendy Carlos (born Walter Carlos; November 14, 1939) is an American physicist, composer, and keyboardist best known for her electronic music and film scores. Born and raised in Rhode Island, Carlos studied physics and music at Brown University before moving to New York City in 1962 to study music composition at Columbia University. Studying and working with various electronic musicians and technicians at the city's Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center, she oversaw the development of the Moog synthesizer, then a relatively new and unknown keyboard instrument designed by Robert Moog.
Carlos came to prominence with Switched-On Bach (1968), an album of music by Johann Sebastian Bach performed on a Moog synthesizer which helped popularize its use in the 1970s and won Carlos three Grammy Awards. Its commercial success led to several more keyboard albums from Carlos of varying genres including further synthesized classical music adaptations and experimental and ambient music. Carlos composed the score to two Stanley Kubrick films, A Clockwork Orange (1971) and The Shining (1980), and Tron (1982) for Walt Disney Productions.
The Overlook is the 18th novel by American crime writer Michael Connelly, and the thirteenth featuring the Los Angeles detective Hieronymus "Harry" Bosch.
The novel first appeared in serialised form in The New York Times Magazine, in sixteen installments published from September 17, 2006 to January 21, 2007. Connelly later rewrote and expanded several of the chapters, and The Overlook was published in book form in May 2007. Many reviewers noted that this clipped version of a Harry Bosch novel lacked much of the psychological depth of previous efforts, but compensated with its plot-driven nature.
The Overlook reunites Bosch with his most recent former flame, FBI agent Rachel Walling. Bosch must break in a new and much younger partner, Ignacio "Iggy" Ferras, when they're called to take over the investigation of the execution-style murder of medical physicist Stanley Kent on a Mulholland Drive overlook. When a special FBI unit, headed by Walling, arrives and tries to usurp his case, claiming it's a matter of national security, Bosch refuses to back down. Walling's focus on the theft of radioactive cesium from a hospital where Kent assisted in cancer treatments, and her unwillingness to share information only makes Bosch more determined to solve the case.

where to hide ?
tired
so very tired
oh what could have been
all you ever talked about was what you'd seen
and now all our dreams
so it seems we've turned to...
...dust
turned to dust
run!
where to run ?
here we stand alone
trying to forget the things you've done to us
and now all we have
so it would seem...
...are memories
memories
trust
there's no trust
you're out in the cold
you never thought we'd have the strength
to see this through
frozen in our hands
and shining through
