Wendy Carlos's Switched-On Bach
Bach - Moog Music - Book - by Roshanak Kheshti
(2019)
So
much, popular and scholarly, has been written about the synthesizer,
Bob Moog and his brand-name instrument, and even Wendy (Walter) Carlos,
the musician who made this instrument famous. No one, however, has
examined the importance of spy technology, the Cold War and Carlos's
gender to this critically important innovation. Through a postcolonial
lens of feminist science and technology studies, Roshanak Kheshti
engages in a reading of Carlos's music within this gendered context.
By
focusing on Switched-On Bach from 1968 (the highest selling classical
music recording of all time), this book explores the significance of
gender to the album's--and, as a result, the Moog
synthesizer's--phenomenal success.
