Part of our on-going series Notebook Soundtrack Mixes.Wendy Carlos sits away from the limelight. Some might say she is somewhat a mysterious figure in the realms she is recognized in: film composition, classical composition, and electronic music. A pioneer of electronic music invention and application, Carlos is behind the development of much that we now take for granted in contemporary music, helping open up a word of new possibilities for future generations of composers and bedroom producers alike. Studying music and physics at Brown in the 1960s, Carlos went on to earn a masters in music at Columbia under the tutelage of electronic composer pioneer Vladimir Ussachevsky. It was there, a year before graduating, that Carlos met Robert Moog. The two began a partnership with a mutual vision: to create an instrument with the same expression as the piano, to update the form in the same way the piano updated the clavichord.
