Wendy Carlos

With Switched-On Bach (1968), Bach played on a Moog synthesiser, she won three Grammys and outsold every classical record before it. Stanley Kubrick commissioned A Clockwork Orange (1971) and later The Shining (1980), though little of her music for the latter made the final cut. Her last major score was Tron (1982), for Disney. She was the first trans woman to win a Grammy.

Style

Moog synthesiser, reinvented classical music and unsettling electronic sounds.

Awards

Three Grammys for Switched-On Bach.
