Wendy Carlos





 Wendy (Walter) was one of the first people to create music purely from converted synthesized sounds. She is famous for producing the music for Stanley Kubrik's films. She created the Moog Synthesizer, which was used to re-create an eerie version of the Ninth Symphony in A Clockwork Orange as well as the obscure music for The Shining. She also used a device called the spectrum follower, which recreated the sounds of musical instruments as artificial voice waves. I believe that her music influenced the dark tone of both Kubrick movies, and gave them both a unique sense of style during the 70's.

  1. Robert Moog created the Moog synth which is why it's called the Moog synth and not the Carlos synth.
