Holger Czukay
Holger Czukay (/ˈʃʊkaɪ/,[1] Holger Schüring;[2] 24 March 1938 – 5 September 2017)[3] was a German musician. He was born in the Free City of Danzig (now Gdańsk, Poland). He was probably best known as a co-founder of the krautrock group Can.[4] Czukay was also known for having created early important examples of ambient music, for having explored "world music" well before the term was coined, and for having been a pioneer of sampling.
Czukay was found dead at his apartment in Weilerswist, Germany on 5 September 2017 at the age of 79.[5]
