Composer Wendy Carlos spurred electronic music to new commercial heights during the late '60s, popularizing the synthesizer with the enormously successful Switched-On Bach album. Carlos studied under Vladimir Ussachevsky and Otto Luening at Columbia University and later met Dr. Robert Moog; not long afterward, she began playing the Moog synthesizer. Carlos released her first recording, Switched-On Bach, in 1968. A showcase for the Moog, the album interpreted the legendary composer's most renowned fugues and movements via state-of-the-art synth technology. Purists were appalled, but the record captured the public's imagination. Carlos later wrote the music for two of Stanley Kubrick's most famous films, 1971's A Clockwork Orange and his 1980 adaptation of Stephen King's The Shining. Two years later, she composed music for the Disney film Tron. Subsequent efforts included a spoof of Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf" recorded with Weird Al Yankovic and Switched-On Bach 2000.
