Jack Evans – Wendy Carlos

I found Wendy Carlos’s contributions to the advancement of synthesis to have been particularly inspiring. The innovations she discovered were significantly ahead of their time and she overcame considerable stress in her own personal life as a direct consequence of her female identity. Battling through adversity, she made unparalleled leaps in the development and promotion of electronic music and many prominent features we rely on in studios today would not exist if it was not for her work.
