Wendy Carlos who double majored in Physics and Music in 1962 and went on develop synthesizers with Robert Moog.
Her album Switched-On Bach essentially invented electronic music in a way mainstream audiences could digest. Taylor Swift really doesn’t have any on Wendy Carlos in terms of talent or creativity or even influence. Give Swift another 5 decades and we’ll see where her career is.
I just wish she didn’t have such an extremist take on how people should listen to music. It’s completely destroyed her legacy and her music doesn’t live on the way that it should.
Basically she completely opposed to digital distribution of any kind. You can only listen to her music by going to a store and buying a record. Her music isn’t even archived on archive.org or available for DRM free purchase on bandcamp or anything like that.

It amazes me she’s still alive

Out of the loop - what’s her take?
