Biography

Wendy Carlos is a composer who helped Robert Moog develop the Moog synthesizer and popularized the instrument with her 1968 Grammy-winning album Switched-On Bach, composed and arranged electronic scores for A Clockwork Orange (1971), The Shining (1980), and TRON (1982). Carlos transitioned in the early 1970s and came out publicly as trans in an interview published in Playboy magazine in 1979.
