Why was Wendy so adversed to working on the new Tron?

I talked to someone at CGE who said Wendy flat out refused to work on the new TRON film. She didnt want anything to do with this project at all.

@artfink :: thanx! i learned a new word today: anathema - and thing or person of detest or loathing

Thanx!

The arcade chip info was only in the wendy carlos interview in keyboard magazine. I sent an email to wendy and somebody from her team said chip sounds off an arcade machine were not made by wendy and they were not used in the actual score but only the fx tracks for the film. The person also stated, "The sounds possible from video game chips would have been anathema to the quality of the music and no consideration was ever given to such use"

Not surprising, given the time period. Most pro musicians I have met (other than electronic musicians) still find electronic generated sounds anathema. (people in the classical and jazz world mostly, fyi)

Wendy actually hired an engineer to allow her to make her own sounds via some arcade board sound chip for the film!

The only mention of that that i can find is on the Wendy Carlos Keyboard interview for Tron. Any other link of interrest?
