Walter Carlos, born is 1939, underwent a sex change in 1972 to become to girl he had always wanted to be. He had studied music and physics at Brown University which helped him to do the project he is known for - electronic music for Clockwork Orange. He created a new synthesizer that helped develop the audio for the movie.
During Clockwork Orange the song "Singin in the Rain" by Gene Kelly is played during a painful scene of a woman being raped. The song is supposed to be cheerful, light and fun, which contradicts the scene being played out on screen. I think think it is supposed to make the audience feel uncomfortable and it is a sort of irony because Alex's gang treats the violence rape very lightly just like the song.
