[f_minor] e-text or printed transcript of "The Idea of North"?

[Kpapademas at aol.com]

Good morning Bob, Fred, Mary, Stefy, Pat, Jason, Brad, Mary  Jo and 
everyone else interested in Glenn Gould's classic radio  documentaries. 
 
I think all of us would like to have a transcript of the entire Solitude  
Trilogy (Brad - you did an excellent review on the Quiet in the Land - does 
that  transcript exist?] 
 
What I would like to do, as a research project, is get the following  
software (see link) Dragon Speech/Speak (my brother has the software, so I  will 
prepare him his favorite dinner!)

g11_ 
(http://shop.nuance.com/store/nuanceus/Content/pbPage.DragonNaturallySpeaking11) 
 
and see if it can capture and transcribe the contrapuntal radio dialog  of 
IoN - it would be interesting to see the true interleaving of each speaker's 
 words (and see if the software has the capacity to do so) - and grasp a 
little  more dimensionality on Glenn Gould's "music". 
 
For our new F_Minor members - if you haven't heard GG's radio  
documentaries, they are available (for sale of course) !

G'day  all
Apparently there is a stage play in french by a bloke called Benoit  Giros 
based on IoN, which I reckon is a very clever  idea.

and

Google  is not my friend in this case, this is the only source I found. 
Does  
anybody know more about this project or the author ?

Bob, maybe you  can pass these links on to your m8 in France, if this is 
the 
real thing  there must be a transcript in french available ! And before 
Scarlatti  rants again, in english too  !
