Switched-On Bach
Switched-On Bach is a music album that was created in 1968 by a musician named Wendy Carlos. She used a special electronic instrument called a synthesizer to create the music. The synthesizer can make lots of different sounds that can be combined to make all kinds of music.
Carlos chose to create electronic versions of classical music pieces written by a famous composer named Johann Sebastian Bach. She programmed the synthesizer to make sounds that were very similar to the sounds of traditional instruments like the harpsichord and the organ that Bach used in his music.

Many people enjoyed Switched-On Bach when it was released, and it helped make electronic music more popular. It is still considered to be an important album in the history of electronic music.
