Wendy Carlos

[ultraviolet-techno-ecology]

For people who might not know - Wendy Carlos is a trans woman who was deeply influential in early electronic music and hugely involved with the push to have synthesizers seen as real instruments.

[glompcat]

Some of the movies Wendy Carlos did the soundtracks for, that you may know:

A Clockwork Orange

The Shining

Tron

She has three Grammys, and a lifetime achievement award from the Society for Electro-Acoustic Music in the United States.

Oh and she also takes photos of eclipses that are so good Nasa uses them.
