Pop sensation Kim Petrus wins a Grammy Award for her collaboration with Sam Smith, becoming the first transgender woman to achieve this honor. However, social media quickly reminds us of the trailblazing Wendy Carlos, who won a Grammy in 1970 and played a pivotal role in the development of the Moog synthesizer.
Wendy Carlos was a pioneering musician and composer who made significant contributions to the development of electronic music. Her influence extended to popular bands like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, and her work on films like “A Clockwork Orange” and “Tron” introduced groundbreaking techniques.
Wendy’s story is one of resilience, creativity, and success, as she redefined the sonic landscape and left an enduring legacy in the world of music.
