(October 2020) Episode 293 is WENDY CARLOS. A pioneer of electronic music and arguably its earliest popularizer through her synthesized versions of classical works (like “Switched on Bach”). You may know her best through the excellent soundtrack to “A Clockwork Orange.” While the classical albums presented the possibilities of Moogs, it was her own compositional explorations that proved most influential — “Sonic Seasonings” practically invented the New Age and ambient genres.
