So much, popular and scholarly, has been written about the
synthesizer, Bob Moog and his brand-name instrument, and even Wendy
Carlos, the musician who made this instrument famous. No one,
however, has examined the importance of spy technology, the Cold
War and Carlos's gender to this critically important innovation.
Through a postcolonial lens of feminist science and technology
studies, Roshanak Kheshti engages in a reading of Carlos's music
within this gendered context. By focusing on Switched-On Bach (the
highest selling classical music recording of all time), this book
explores the significance of gender to the album's--and, as a
result, the Moog synthesizer's--phenomenal success.
