Gould was addicted to pills. He is recording his dosages and then monitoring his heart rate and blood pressure obsessively. He is using his own nervous system as intellectual entertainment, as many addicts do.
The music is the Gigue from Schönberg's Suite for Piano op. 25.

What piece is he playing at the beginning? I am guessing something by Schoenberg or Webern.
