	James Wierzbicki / Wendy Carlos
		For Carlos this was a labor of love, a sincere effort to demonstrate beyond the shadow of a doubt that electronic instruments could be played as expressively as their traditional counterparts.
		Working with a pair of monophonic synthesizers, Carlos would have been able to perform in public any of the three two-part inventions featured on ''Switched-On Bach.'' The performances would have had to be duller than on the recording, though, for with his fingers playing the notes he could not have manipulated the synthesizers' tone controllers.
		Carlos did, however, continue to blaze the trail that began with ''Switched-On Bach,'' and for that listeners everywhere should be grateful.

	Walter Carlos - A Clockwork Orange Composer
		Shortly after the success of his Switched-On Bach album, Walter Carlos and his long-time producer Rachel Elkind began working with a spectrum follower--a device that converts sounds, such as speech, into electronic signals that mirror the overtones and rhythms of the original.
		Walter was, by his own admission, "about 3 1/2 minutes" into Timesteps when a friend gave him a paperback copy of A Clockwork Orange.
		Walter and Rachel, both admirers of Kubrick's previous work, began to share the same day-dream: "Wouldn't it be great if..." Then came an announcement in the New York Times that Kubrick had actually finished filming.

	Carlos and Gould
		Walter Carlos had his surgery in the same year as James Morris, in New York, after just as much internal hell as a child, adolescent and young man. He began medical consultations in 1967, and a year later began the required period of hormone treatment that always precedes a sex-change operation.
		She appeared as Walter on TV once or twice, very reluctantly — complete with pasted-on sideburns, a wig and simulated five o'clock shadow.
		For seven years after her operation the pretence was kept up, with Walter Carlos in early 1979 still being referred to in the music press with cryptic phrases like "he died for us in a very underground way.

	Walter Carlos - Biography - AOL Music
		Composer Walter Carlos spurred electronic music to new commercial heights during the late 1960s, popularizing the synthesizer with the enormously successful Switched on Bach album.
		A showcase for the Moog synthesizer, Switched-On Bach interpreted the legendary composer's most renowned fugues and movements via state-of-the-art synth technology; purists were appalled, but the record captured the public's imagination and in time the album became the first classical record to be certified platinum by the RIAA.
		In 1971, Carlos wrote the music for Stanley Kubrick's controversial film A Clockwork Orange, introducing the vocoder -- an electronic device designed to synthesize the human voice -- in his score.

	The Woodsman
		After twelve years in prison, Walter arrives in an unnamed city, moves into a small apartment across the street from an elementary school, gets a job at a lumberyard, and mostly keeps to himself.

		Walter is a child molester, who preyed upon nine to eleven year-olds, but claims he never hurt them.

	Wendy Carlos Page
		Along with Carlos' classical realization of the Ode to Joy from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, this was the recording which first introduced the world to Wendy's original compositions, including Timesteps, still considered one of the landmarks of electronic music.
		That is, Carlos never uses those analog synth sounds that sounds like someone is turning a knob on the synth to create those odd harmonics and noises only analog synths can make.
		This contained most of the music that she had worked on, including the unedited Timesteps, as well as a couple items that didn't even make it (such as Country Lane, which was originally intended to be used in the scene where Alex is beaten and then nearly drowned by his ex-droogs).

		This tongue-in-cheek blend of verbal and musical parody continued her LSI Philharmonic timbres and orchestral recreation, was performed directly into a Macintosh computer, using all the latest MIDI and SMPTE technology, allowing both precision and human feel in the instrumental ensembles.
		Carlos came full circle by applying modern techniques and equipment to look back at her early classic, this time using the non-equal temperaments Bach himself preferred.
		She is also remastering most of her back catalog for reissue on East Side Digital, with many albums available on CD for the first time.

		Born Walter Carlos in 1939 in Rhode Island, she started playing piano at age 6, winning a Westinghouse Science Fair scholarship for a home-built computer.
		Understandably, Carlos would prefer to be known for her art rather than the quirks of her personal history.
		Combined with her influence on electronic music, Carlos' surgical gender change has made her a post-modern touchstone for experimental artists interested in gender issues or the Baroque in electronic music.

		Yet she continued to release music as Walter Carlos until 1975, making public appearances in masculine clothing and fake sideburns, until her official coming-out in an interview published in the May 1979 issue of Playboy.

		Carlos sued Momus over this jape, and forced him to remove the song from his record.
