Living Room Lectures Presents: Inventing Electronic Music

Join us for an enlightening exploration of how pioneer Wendy Carlos transformed the landscape of electronic music while becoming an influential figure for transgender visibility. 🌟

This engaging lecture dives into her innovative work with the Moog synthesizer, which not only reshaped modern music but also played a crucial role in early conversations about transgender identity. Through archival interviews and musical excerpts, attendees will experience her story told in her own words, reflecting on her lasting influence and how we can honor the legacy of a private artist.

As we gear up for the Wire Festival, an event showcasing today's most exciting voices in underground techno and house, this lecture serves as a vital opportunity to consider how Carlos's innovations continue to resonate in clubs worldwide, including right here in our city. 🎧

Expect tasty popcorn, candy, and an open wine bar! 🍷 Donations are encouraged, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit the Transgender Law Center.

We offer a limited number of free and discounted tickets for those in need, prioritizing trans and nonbinary attendees. We're also on the lookout for volunteers—feel free to reach out at livingroomlecturesnyc@gmail.com for inquiries.
