Wendy Carlos Synth Pioneer / Clockwork Orange

I wonder how many young people understand the history behind the iPad ease we all now know, and how Walter Carlos, who became Wendy, helped make that a reality with her soundtrack to Clockwork Orange.

    More than 50 years later, we're still dealing with this kind of sound synthesis a lot :D

    As an adjunct: interesting to note how many synth practitioner/pioneers were/are trans… e.g. Mutable Instruments’ Emilie Gillet, Lisa Bella Donna, Zoe Blade, Modal Synth founder Paula Maddox,

    Indeed. These kids today with no appreciation for history! Hmm, I sound like my father :) Before clockwork orange, Switched on Bach was revolutionary. And extremely popular in the early 70s. I learned synthesis on the university’s moog. The same thing Carlos used in the above picture. You had to sign out the closet it was in for an hour at a time. It was booked almost 24/7. There was no way to record anything and of course no way to save patches. So it would take most of the hour to plug everything in to make one monophonic sound. Then your time would be up and the next guy would rip it all out and start over. I think about this all the time as I marvel how far things have come. I lived through all of it. Thanks for bring this up.

    Wendy was one of the biggest reasons I got into synthesizers probably 15 years ago now. Love her and her work.
