There's something so satisfying watching her have to physically plug and unplug cables to get the sound she wants. It's electronic but tactile, very cool.

In awe both at her knowledge and her Lupin the 3rd boymode

I remember reading an interview with her regarding Tron and how producers originally only wanted her to score the electronic parts until she informed them she could equally write for orchestra (phds in both music and physics).

Her Clockwork Orange soundtrack was extraordinary: ominous, bleak, jaunty, unsettling, camp.
One of the first soundtracks that I bought.

This video is over 50 years old, but I swear Wendy makes this whole "synthesizer" thing seem wild and new. Tomorrow's World.

A true pioneer on so many fronts. Moog didn't consider himself a musician so he asked around for help designing his synthesizer. Wendy was one of those whose input he solicited. She knows it because she helped develop it. Moog never got a patent for it either. He couldn't have made millions off it. But he instead gave it to the world.

My uncle, who was an audiophile, played "Switched on Bach" for me in 1969. I was 8 years old, and it changed my life. From that time on I was a huge electronic music fan, and became a musician.

Not too many people realize the dedication & sheer madness involved in recreating Bach's works on a monophonic analog synth, note by note, waveform by waveform. If not for Wendy showing us it can be done, the Moog synth--and possibly all synthesizer music--could've died out as a mere curiosity like the Theramin. What she did was the musical equivalent of making the first airplane flight across the Atlantic, just to prove what the new technology can do.

As a little kid I had the album Switched On Bach. I did have some confusion about why Wendy ended up being named Wendy, but my dad explained it (he just said the truth, as much as he could to a six year old). Switched On Bach is wonderful, I still remember it nearly 50 years later (for me -- I know it was out in 1968, I didn't get it until I was six in 1974).

Every trans woman knows, in one way or another, what its like to have to convince people of a lie about your identity. Wendy, in what was undoubtedly a very uncomfortable period of her life, managed to carry herself with dignity and grace. If you look away from the screen and listen to her voice, it's remarkable how un-compromised she managed to present herself in this interview. Though she never really wanted to be seen as a figurehead of the queer community she has inspired generations of trans women. She showed us that it was possible, that a world that didn't want us could only deny our talents for so long.

This is a genuinely good way to show a synth works. After all, it can be very intimidating as an instrument if you don't commit a huge amount of learning what every knob and setting does.

This is an iconic interview. She wasn't out yet so she had to put on those weird sideburn things. As a trans chiptune artist I am grateful for her for paving the way and being such a class act!
I wish her music was easier to come by though!

Her voice is so pleasant that it makes this even nicer to listen to. Thanks YouTube for reminding me I need to learn more about her.

boymode wendy out here looking like an entirely unconvincing drag king in her $5 stick-on sideburns. legend

I have heard of musicians that don’t regard synthesizer players real musicians.
But listen to this person and just be in awe of her knowledge.

Wendy Carlos was a true maestro of the pureism of sound, her music in TRON 1982 and A ClockWork Orange was a pure joy to listen to! 🏴

It's hard to believe that Switched-on Bach is 55 years old. The best electronic classical album in the world in my opinion.

How she can explain all of this highly technical stuff like she's talking about making breakfast is very impressive on its own, before taking into account her skill as an actual synthesist and musician.

Thank you, BBC Archive. To watch a musician like Wendy Carlos give us a demo on her Moog synthesiser is a gift.

Wendy is probably one of the biggest unsung influences on modern music. Respect is due.
