The whole Wendy/Walter sex-change thing has not been real clear to me. I
have a copy of Sonic Seasonings on vinyl that says Walter Carlos on the
cover. I have read/heard many stories as to why Wendy used to be called
Walter. I have a hard time believing any of them. Even though she does
kind of look like John Malkovich with a bad toupee! She/He was/is a huge
influence on many artists today.(BoC being one of the obvious ones) I
believe that Autechre noted her as being an influence in an interview a few
years back. Oh well, either way(with or without a shlong) Wenter has
produced some great work.(Sonic Seasonings, STs:Tron and The Shining as well
as A Clockwork Orange)
