Wendy Carlos - The well temped synthesiser - 1969.g.

O Wendy Carlos i albumu

Ona je moja nuclear bejbe, ona je moja svemirska baka!

Upoznao sam ju prije par godina gledajuć' Paklenu naranču (Clockwork Orange, Stanely Kubrick 1978 ) za koju je radila saundtrek TOČKA Ponekad kada zbilja više ni sam neznam što da slušam, pa kopam pa se sjetim nje.. Kao da je zapela u nekoj pogrešnoj futurističkoj viziji iz šezdesetih! Baka Wendy, Moog i ideš čovječe u svemir!

Wendy Carlos je rođena kao Walter Carlos, November 14, 1939 u Junajtid Stejts () 1974. mijenja spol a potom '75. mijenja ime). 1968. počinje komercijalnu karijeru sa albumom Switched On Bach koji je svojevrsni pionirski omage Bachu. Takodjer to je jedna od prvih uporaba sintića od g.Roberta Mooga u komercijalnim glazbenim vodama. Također to je 1. album klasične glazbe prodan u 500 iljada primjeraka. Bitno je reći da je ovo snimano u vrijeme kada je multi track recording tehnika bila praktički u povojima...

Iza ovog brejkfrua, 1969 godine sledi ovaj lepi albumček kaj ga morete skinuti (dole je link), The well temped synthesiser. Ovaj album sadrži selekciju komada od Monteverdija, Domenico Scarlatti-a i Handel-a. Snimljen je na 8 traka na Ampex rekorder (tape recorder) i ima veliku ulogu u daljnjem razvoju glazbene produkcije i uporabi elektronike u glazbi.

Evo i komentar izumitelja sintića na ovaj album:

Switched-on Bach was released at the end of 1968 and became an immediate success. It was acclaimed as real music by musicians and the listening public alike. As a result, the Moog Synthesizer was suddenly accepted with open arms by the music business community. We witnessed the birth of a new genre of music--classical music, realized with impeccable musicianship on synthesizer and tape recorder. Now, some three decades later, the electronic music medium has evolved into a mainstream musical tool. Sixteen-track and twenty-four-track recorders came to be widely used after the release of Switched on Bach, and then digital synthesizers, hard disk recorders, and computer-based music production systems. Wendy's contributions to this evolution cannot be overstated. She has realized a wide range of high quality music, set ever-increasing standards for sound synthesis, developed a significant body of alternate tunings, and generously provided her usual perceptive advice to equipment manufacturers. Her four Bach/Baroque albums, specially remastered for this release, are major milestones in the evolution of electronic music. At the same time, each album stands by itself as an important contribution to our classical music tradition. I'm delighted to witness the re-release of these works, as are countless numbers of music lovers throughout the world.
--Robert A. Moog
