New York video artist, composer, and violinist Tony Conrad passed away on April 9th 2016. A pioneer of both structural film and drone music. In 2012 he visited Copenhagen for the event "2 Days of Minimalism Delirium", and during his stay he did a live interview with Lars Movin at the Copenhagen Main Library where he talking about La Monte Young, Velvet Underground and his early experiments with the violin. His unfortunate death gave new reason to revisit this interview and turn it into a radio program which, by the way, is introduced in Danish by Lars Movin, but Tony Conrad of course speaks in English throughout. Recorded and edited by Simon Leth Stolzenbach Special thanks to Lars Movin and to Københavns Hovedbibliotek for letting us broadcast this interview. And to Mayhem Kbh and Skræp for bringing Tony Conrad to Copenhagen
