Glenn Gould - “The Idea of the North”, “The Latecomers”, “The Quiet in the Land”

August 29, 2007

The site has moved to a more expansive home, with room for far larged media. In honor, here are three hour long Canadian radio documentaries by Glenn Gould. They feature overlapping speech and sound, so I recommend listening to them on a decent stereo in a darkened room.
