Wendy Carlos is an extremely influential composer who shaped the way that modern music evolved. Even if this is your first time hearing that name, you may already be familiar with her work. If you’ve ever watched A Clockwork Orange or The Shining, Wendy Carlos is the genius behind both of those soundtracks. Her work on movie soundtracks doesn’t start and stop with Kubrick, she also composed the soundtrack for the sci-fi movie Tron. If you listen to electronic music, you have Wendy Carlos to thank at least in part. She was a key part of popularizing and legitimizing synthesizers as a real instrument.
Seriously, how cool is music?
There is so much history, variety and potential that it’s almost impossible to be familiar with everything about it.
Growing up, I honestly didn’t know that there was such a thing as new music. I grew up listening to the various eclectic collections of my family members and had no comprehension of the fact that people were making new music every single day. I thought Mozart, Alla Pugacheva and nursery rhymes were the cream of the crop.
I think I was in second grade when I realized that my friends were listening to and singing songs I have never heard before and finally realized that there was so much more to this hidden world.
Now as an adult, I love everything about music. I love that you can pick something for literally any mood. I love the variety that different cultures have to offer. I love seeing how music has evolved over time.

I love a good cover song. There are so many different avenues an artist can take when they decide to cover a song. They can try to keep it as similar to the original song as possible or they can go a completely different direction. Some of my favorite covers have been changed so much that you can clearly see the artist’s personality.
Scimitar dropped off the charts last week, but is back as the top-played song on WKNC’s Chainsaw.
