I’ve been a big fan of Ubuweb for a while now. The site hosts all manner of avant garde and dadaist media, including texts, mp3’s and videos / films. There has been a feast of fascinating material on the site for some time now.
After a summer overhaul, there is now a lot of new material on the site. Follow the link to find three sound files of radio programmes created by Glenn Gould back in the 60s and 70s. I first heard these on UK’s BBC Radio 3 which hosted a tribute evening to the pianist a few years ago, and broadcast the programmes which were originally heard on Canadian radio. They are bold adventures in radio, Gould literally using the studio as a composing instrument. Well worth a listen.
