"Wendy Carlos" is an United States/American composer and electronic musician.

Carlos first came to prominence in 1968 with Switched-On Bach, a recording of music by J.S. Bach assembled phrase-by-phrase on a Moog synthesizer, at the time a relatively new and unknown instrument. The album earned three Grammy Awards in 1969. Other classical recordings followed.

Carlos later began releasing original compositions, including the first-ever album of synthesized environmental sounds, Sonic Seasonings (1972) and an album exploring Alternate tunings#Alternative tunings/alternate tunings Beauty in the Beast (1986). She has also worked in film music, notably writing and performing scores for two Stanley Kubrick movies, A Clockwork Orange (film)/A Clockwork Orange (1971) and The Shining (film)/The Shining (1980), as well as Walt Disney Productions/Walt Disney's Tron (1982).

I am aware that my musical style is not necessarily to the taste of all of you. I've got a heightened 'boredom factor' if music gets too redundant.

A nice blend of prediction and surprise seem to be at the heart of the best art.

As human beings we do change, grow, adapt, perhaps even learn and become wiser.

I'm really a very weak musicologist. Wish it weren't so, but there's only so much you can dig deeply into in one lifetime, as if you hadn't noticed.
