Holger Czukay (born Holger Schüring, 24 March 1938) is a German musician, probably best known as a co-founder of the krautrock group Can.
Described by critic Jason Ankeny as "successfully bridg[ing] the gap between pop and the avant-garde," Czukay is also notable for creating early
important examples of ambient music, for exploring "world music" well before the term was coined, and for being a pioneer of sampling.
The two collaborated on a pair of albums in the late 1980s.
