Holger Czukay, German musician (died 2017)

Holger Schüring, known professionally as Holger Czukay, was a German musician who co-founded the krautrock group Can. Described as "successfully bridg[ing] the gap between pop and the avant-garde", Czukay also created early important examples of ambient music, explored "world music" well before the term was coined, and was a pioneer of sampling.
