Classic Album Sundays Podcast: Wendy Carlos ‘Clockwork Orange’ with Greg Wilson

British DJ and journalist Greg Wilson joins Colleen to discuss
Wendy Carlos’ score to the film ‘Clockwork Orange’. Wendy Carlos
is what you might call a true genius in the world of twentieth
century music. She has always been ahead of her time…expanding
boundaries and challenging listeners and herself. Her dramatic
score for the legendary Clockwork Orange motion picture is an
interesting collection of solid, dark, electronic proto-new age
music.


Greg began DJing in 1975 and is regarded as one of the most
important figures on the UK dance scene. He enjoyed hugely
popular residencies in the early eighties at Wigan Pier and
Manchester’s majorly influential Legend, having originally
started out in his hometown of New Brighton. He was a pioneer of
mixing in the UK and in 1983 he became the first ‘dance
music’specialist hired for a regular weekly session at
Manchester’s now legendary Haçienda club. Greg was instrumental
in breaking the new electronic, post-disco records coming out of
New York, a sound he has dubbed ‘Electro-Funk’.
