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 Carlos's gender to this critically important innovation. In this book, Roshanak Kheshti utilizes the tools of feminist science and technology studies, translated and made relevant for a general readership, to engage in a reading of Carlos' music within this gendered context. By focusing on Switched-On Bach (the highest selling classical music recording of all time) Switched-On Bach explores the significance of gender to the album's-and as a result, the Moog synthesizer's-phenomenal success.
