Wendy Carlos
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.

Famous quotes by Wendy Carlos:
"Composition has almost always been solitary."
"As human beings we do change, grow, adapt, perhaps even learn and become wiser."
"I am aware that my musical style is not necessarily to the taste of all of you. I've got a heightened 'boredom factor' if music gets too redundant."
"A nice blend of prediction and surprise seem to be at the heart of the best art."
"I'm really a very weak musicologist. Wish it weren't so, but there's only so much you can dig deeply into in one lifetime, as if you hadn't noticed."
