Reading some writings of Glenn Gould, I realised that he did not only made musical recordings, but some documentaries, too. Now finally I’ve found some: The Idea of North (1967) The Latecomers (1969) The Quiet In The Land - that can be listened here, in RealAudio. All composed like a musical piece - just listen to the editing technique, the structure, etc.
I wish I could download those somehow…
(Interesting: “Did Glenn Gould have a form of autism?” )

Oooops!
You will probably want to delete one of those dots (either one will do) between the w and the d to get the link to work.
Ed: done.

Fascinating stuff about Gould - one of the other big geniuses of the second half of the 20th century, IMO. I always assumed he had Asperger’s, but maybe not, eh?
Thanks for the link to the doc.

Try recording the audio file with Audio Hijack. It’s a software that allows you to record streaming audiofiles. I use it on my Mac, but I guess there must be a version for Windows too.
