from walter to wendy
walter carlos was a young musician and an “early adopter” of the moog synthesizer. as such, his feedback greatly helped robert moog further develop his line of instruments. in 1968, gaining success with his grammy winning album switched-on bach, walter began to live as wendy. by 1972, she’d had sex reassignment surgery and continued working on her own albums as well as scoring a couple of stanley kubrick’s films. today, she’s still making music as well as photographing solar eclipses.
