Wendy Carlos’ legacy is truly unparalleled. Who else can claim to have revitalized classical music in the 60s with a groundbreaking album of Moog synthesizer renditions of Bach classics? And let’s not forget her incredible contributions to film scores, including iconic movies like Tron, The Shining, and A Clockwork Orange. But Carlos’ impact goes far beyond her musical genius. Despite facing relentless prejudice against the transgender community for nearly six decades, she has persevered and emerged as a true trailblazer. Her impeccable taste in delicate compositions and extraordinary musical scores is matched only by her courage in embracing her true self. From undergoing sex reassignment surgery in 1972 to openly discussing her sexuality in the pages of Playboy in May 1979, Carlos continues to inspire and pave the way for LGBTQ+ musicians everywhere.
