Alright, alright, get off our Bach. We've come out of our fugue state and we're finally venturing into the world of classical music, albeit in a roundabout way. That's because we're actually talking about a game-changer in the world of electronic music - Wendy Carlos's Switched-On Bach - with Friend of the Pod (and father of a former guest) Doug Morrell. This album made the Moog synthesizer famous, reached the top 10 of Billboard's albums chart, and garnered Carlos 3 Grammy Awards, making her the first transgender artist to ever take home the coveted award. And don't worry if you don't know your counterpoint from your concerti - Doug breaks it all down for you with great aplomb.

Here are some links to things we reference in the episode:

- Wendy Carlos's 1970 interview with BBC about the Moog synthesizer

- Wendy Carlos's 1979 interview with Playboy
