Wendy Carlos (born November 14, 1939, in Pawtucket, Rhode Island) is a composer and electronic musician. Carlos trained as a composer and worked as a recording engineer before her 1968 Switched-On Bach became the first classical music album to be certified platinum. This, and subsequent albums, brought the Moog synthesizer to wider public attention, and her 1971 soundtrack to A Clockwork Orange introduced the vocoder. Other notable work includes soundtracks for The Shining and Tron. (Her first six albums were originally released under the name Walter Carlos.)
In 1992, Carlos released Switched-On Bach 2000 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of her first album, featuring a re-recording of the album using digital synthesizers and computer-assisted recording with an added introductory composition (Happy 25th, S-OB) styled as a birthday fanfare for the project.

Electronic music has upset music snobs in the past but it does have a strange, hypnotic, other-worldly and spooky quality that you can't get with traditional instruments and this is a great example.

The music snobs need to ahem... Bach off!
British and American light piano music
Who cares what the snobs think?
Zathras Yes
Bach and Mozart would've loved this, for sure.

Goosebumps!!! This song, played by Wendy Carlos on Switched on Bach was it that got me hooked on Synthesizers back in the 70s and to the very day. Great playing!!!
Sean Christopher Synthesizers
Absolutely beautiful! I am looking forward to covering this angelic piece by the Master later this year, but doubt I can do any more brilliantly than your cover. :)

Still come back to this over and over and still gives me goosebumps. I love electronic music and classical equally.

I really believe Bach wrote music for synthesizer. Back in his day. His mathematical music always seems to travel so well to a Moog.

Haunting and sublime beauty. Nothing compares to a Moog.
