Wendy Carlos, the first trans composer to score the cult film \u201cA Clockwork Orange\u201d with modulars<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>

\u2013 Wendy Carlos composed part of the soundtracks for \u201cA Clockwork Orange\u201d and \u201cThe Shining\u201d<\/span><\/h2>

\u2013 Innovative composer who left her mark on Stanley Kubrick's films and the music industry in general<\/span><\/h2>

\u2013 The Madrid collective OX Techne closes the season on June 30th in celebration of Pride in Madrid, thus remembering one of the most important producers for the world of electronic music and cult cinema.<\/span><\/h2>

Wendy Carlos was a revolutionary in every aspect, because in addition to leaving her mark on cinema with her musical compositions, she had to accept her true identity as a transgender woman in the uncompromising 70s. It is for all this that the OX Techne collective pays tribute to this splendid composer, pioneer and revolutionary<\/strong>, with the staging of his next event taking place in Madrid on Friday, June 30<\/strong>.<\/p>

Wendy Carlos was born in 1939 in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Her passion for the piano began at the age of 6 and led to her learning everything related to electronic music. The latter began during her college years with electronic music pioneer Vladimir Ussachevsky. She later met engineer Robert Moog<\/strong>, creator of the synthesizer, to whom he suggested that he add the first touch-sensitive keyboard and other important modifications to his invention, as it would end up revolutionizing the world of music.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

The Moog was present in the pop revolution of those years and in the creation of progressive and electronic music. Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk<\/strong> and the latest albums of The Beatles<\/strong> They owe much to the creation of Moog<\/strong>.<\/p>

\u201cI have seen very few people adapt to an instrument as naturally as she did to the synthesizer. She seemed to have a divine gift\u201d (Robert Moog, 1967)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Carlos herself took that electronic sound to another dimension. With her album \u201cSwitched-On Bach\u201d<\/strong>, a reinterpretation of Johann Sebastian Bach's work, sold more than 1 million copies, becoming the best-selling classical album of the decade. It was also her first collaboration with singer and producer Rachael Elkind, who also worked for Columbia Records. From that moment on, she would become a great partner and friend. But this was just the beginning and, at the same time, her entry into the universe \u201ckubrickian\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>
