Tosh and Kimley discuss “Wendy Carlos's Switched-On Bach” by
Roshanak Kheshti from the 33 1/3 series. “Switched-On Bach,” an
album of Bach compositions played on a Moog synthesizer, is one of
the bestselling classical recordings of all time. In the 1960s
Carlos worked with Robert Moog to further the synthesizer’s
capabilities and with the 1968 release of “Switched-On Bach” she
pioneered an entirely new way of making music. She also wrote
powerful scores to several films including Stanley Kubrick’s “A
Clockwork Orange” and “The Shining.” And she was one of the first
public figures to come out as transgender. She’s groundbreaking in
both her professional and private life and yet she’s maintained an
air of mystery and intrigue that we find very compelling.
