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.
I love Beauty in the Beast but whenever I have tried playing Wendy's scales to make my own stuff it just sounds terrible.
That is the main problem with all non-12 TET IMO. Making music that doesn't suck is hard enough in 12 TET. Starting from scratch with a scale by Carlos or Harry Partch takes a real musical genius and that is certainly not me. Worst though is there is no road map to follow in order to get better for us mere mortals.
BTW FM7/FM8 VST is the easiest way to play a few Carlos scales.

which of course led to Disco, YMO, Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, Insoc and the rest is history.
