Vinyl Vibrations is musical exploration into sounds and grooves from artists that produced their works on vinyl records. Vinyl records -- in commercial form -- date back to 1948 with the first 12" LPs -- followed ten years later, in 1958, with the first stereo LP -- and into the 1960s, the so-called Golden Age of Vinyl -- all the way to current time, when even today, some artists are producing on vinyl records. Many music recording formats have come and gone. Today's world is in the cloud. Not long ago it was music CDs, and if you were around in the 1960s and 1970s you experienced the 8-track tape and cassette tape formats. Some of those old magnetic tapes and CDs have lost their playability, while the vinyl LP has stood the test of time.
Vinyl records captures a rich period in pop, rock, jazz and classical music history.
In each show I explore a topic in the production at the time that makes the artist's work unique and timeless. I'm your host, Brian Frederick, here on Vinyl Vibrations.

Today’s Vinyl Vibrations podcast features the artistry of Wendy Carlos, an American composer, arranger, and electronic musician. Wendy Carlos was born Walter Carlos in Rhode Island in November 1939. She is the first transgender recipient of a Grammy Award, her album SWITCHED-ON BACH won three Grammys in 1970. Later, in 2005 she was the recipient of the SEAMUS Lifetime Achievement Award for her contribution to the art and craft of electro-acoustic music.
Wendy Carlos is best known for her electronic music such as SWITCHED-ON BACH…and film scores such as A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, THE SHINING and TRON.
Her studies of music composition at Columbia University in New York City in the 1960s led to her working with electronic musicians and technicians where she helped in the development of the MOOG SYNTHESIZER. This was the first commercially available keyboard instrument from Robert Moog. During her time at Columbia, Carlos ordered components of a custom designed synthesizer from Robert Moog, and she collaborated with Moog on the design of that early instrument, which became known as the MOOG SYNTHESIZER. Some of the modules included a touch-sensitive keyboard, a portamento control, which slides notes in the scale between one note and the next, a filter bank, and a 49-oscillator polyphonic generator bank that could create chords and arpeggios,
