For those that don't know, Wendy Carlos (the "Carlos" in the above title) did the musical score for "A Clockwork Orange", "The Shining" and "Tron" [0].

My bet is many people, especially of a certain generation, will be familiar with the opening title sequence music for "A Clockwork Orange" [1], the Tron "Scherzo" [2], or the opening musical sequence to "The Shining" [3].

She was an early pioneer in the late 1960s and early 1970s or synthesizers and synthesizer music.

Just checked out the shining. Opening sounds like symphonie fantastique. Of course the synth texture is cool.
