TELEVISION When Gould practised the piano (which he rarely did), the radio and television were generally both running in the background. No other classical musician of his day was as plugged into the world’s media as Gould, and no other musician exploited its possibilities as extensively and from such an early date in order to promote his art and his ideas.

Gould regularly ran up astronomical telephone bills. Outside the studio he led an anthropophobic, unworldly existence and maintained his contact with others by means of the telephone, by preference at one or two in the morning. His calls could go on for hours, regardless of whether the person he was calling had already gone to bed. Gould would declaim entire texts that he had written out in advance, working through production plans, philosophizing about God and the world or simply wanting to talk, no matter what the subject.
