Thank you, if you hadn't posted it, I would have. I was literally just watching this again for the umpteenth time yesterday. One of my favorite videos of all time.

Yeah I saw some videos of her trying to dress up as a man in some presentation video about an electronic instrument and it just felt so out of place. She's definitely a woman.

This seems nuts but it's true. She had privately transitioned but hadn't yet come out in 1970, and had to make some public appearances wearing awkward fake sideburns (and maybe a short-haired wig?) to pose as a man. More info here on Pink News.

I’ve known about this woman for years and been a Tron fan since I wore out the VHS when I was six, and I never realized they were connected.

Yep. Made the Tron score sound like a video arcade, hence the ubiquitous discordances. This piece titled The Light Sailer features the Tron Scherzo (What I think of the Tron Theme, though now the love theme is called that).

Check out her album Sonic Seasonings sometime. Really amazing atmospheric stuff!
