Holger Czukay (/ˈtʃuːkeɪ/, born Holger Schüring;[1] 24 March 1938 – 5 September 2017[2]) was a German musician, probably best known as a co-founder of the krautrock group Can. Described by critic Jason Ankeny[3] as "successfully bridg[ing] the gap between pop and the avant-garde", Czukay is also notable for having creatied 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.
