When Wendy Carlos released Switched On Bach, the first classical album recorded on a synthesizer, she radically transformed people's understandings of what electronic music could do. At the time of the album's release, Wendy was also six-months into hormone therapy and struggling with her rising fame and anxieties about how the public might react to her transition. But Switched On Bach was a huge success and Wendy went on not only to critical acclaim, but to work with famed composers and film directors, including scoring Stanley Kubrik's A Clockwork Orange and The Shining. Join Lauren and our special guest host, Deviant Women's own composer India Hooi, as we discover how Wendy Carlos changed music forever!

Deviant Women Trailer
We are Alicia and Lauren, your Deviant Women hosts! Each fortnight, we discuss a ‘deviant’ woman from history, fiction, mythology or the contemporary world. Women who aren’t afraid to break the rules, to subvert the system, to explore, to seek and to challenge the status quo.
But we also like to dig deep into the ideas that have restricted women's lives and shaped the way we tell their stories. Who gets to be a virgin? Who gets to be a whore? Why not be both?! (It's always better to be both). So join us, won't you, and learn more about the devious, dastardly, and daring women overlooked in the history books.
