Shorties (An Interview with Kavita Das, A Profile of Composer Wendy Carlos, and more)
Kavita Das discussed her book Craft and Conscience with the Los Angeles Review of Books.
El Pais profiled composer and electronic music pioneer Wendy Carlos.
The wild success of Switched-On Bach enabled Carlos to meet Kubrick and turn several Purcell, Beethoven and Rossini pieces into a chilling synth score for A Clockwork Orange, and also gave her the freedom to venture into unexplored musical terrain. In her 1972 double album, Sonic Seasonings, Carlos dedicated an entire side to each of the four seasons. She didn’t want to produce music that required focused attention, but instead sought to recreate moods.
