So, the other day I was thinking about Stanley Kubric films, A Clockwork Orange in particular. I remember the soundtrack having some crazy synthesized Beethoven. My wife happened to have the soundtrack, which mentions in the liner notes that the synthesizer stuff was created by Walter Carlos.
I looked up Walter Carlos, discovering that she became Wendy Carlos in 1972.
Her debut album was
Switched-On Bach (1968), and was the first classical album to sell over 500,000 copies and later go platinum. I downloaded this along with her second album
The Well-Tempered Synthesizer (1969), and her
original score for A Clockwork Orange (when you download this, be sure to change the name of the zip file before unzipping it if you have Windows Vista).
This stuff is extremely cool! Download, discuss.
