Glenn Gould Solitude Trilogy

[jazzy_dave]

Glenn Gould conceived the idea of contrapuntal radio ,an aural montage of overlapping voices and environmental sounds. This liminal striation of substratas does not follow a linear narrative arc, the voices of his interviewees weave a thick texture of sound from which you may unpick from the threads a particular voice, or to be dazzled by the holistic tape sliced heteroglossia.

Here is the complete set of his Solitude trilogy he recorded for CBC. Each broadcast is an hour long.



The Idea Of North (1967)

The Latecomers (1969)

The Quiet In The Land (1977)
