why'd he switch to a she? just curious everyone seems to
report about when her last album was released as walter and
her first as wendy but...wtf. no explanation i'm just a
chick now? there's gotta be something more too it. anyone
have that playboy interview where that explains it? its just
so bizzarre

I saw a video clip of HIM at the Switched On Bach era, he
was VERY feminine.

Oh, I thought they were two different people, related.

If you type in their names on Allmusic.com you'll see the
biographies are identical except Walter has 'he/his' and
Wendy has 'she/her'. Most odd.

He/She was ahead of its time. The Tron soundtrack rocks.
Wish Jega would do more remixes of it.

Well, only Wendy Carlos has a Discography listed... Walter
only has the biography it seems.

He had a sex change.

Kind of creepy, since the head is dispreportionate to the
body. But still, she wrote clockwork orange, and has done
more than practically any other musician to bring the
synthesizer into common music.

me cause she can patch it up.. other then the small adams
apple. I can believe him as a her.

Discussions like this are probably one reason why she didn't
talk about it much.

Loved the Clockwork Orange soundtrack, and his/her version
of Air on the G String. Carlos has claimed that she "always
was a woman" from what I hear, though that didn't stop her
from getting some bad press, which, with sex changes, is
usually guaranteed.

I like Carlos though - good stuff, Moog bliss.

yikes good find there dariusgriffin. i'm sure for whatever
reason the 'switch' was for deep personal reasons. is that
cynthia person from cyndustries a full fledge woman or
underwent a switcheroo too? she can be seen in that
circuitbending documentary

hehe, I've always wondered about Cynthia, but I think she is
fully woman.
