Holger Czukay biography
Czukay studied under Karlheinz Stockhausen from 1963 to 1966 and co-founded the influential rock group Can in 1968. Czukay played bass guitar and performed most of the recording and engineering for the group. Czukay recorded some important early ambient / progressive electronic albums, and is important for his utilization of shortwave radio sounds, sampling... He released his first solo album "Canaxis" in 1968. It marks a new step in the development of experimental electronic music & "ethno" rock, notably by the use of "sampling" and a traditional Vietnam voice. After his departure from Can in 1977, Czukay participated to many collaborations with jah wobble, the edge, eurythmics, david sylvian, conny plank, eno, phew... For krautrockers the most memorable albums with guests are "RastakrautPasta" & "Materia" (with Moebius and Plank). In 1979 Czukay published his project "movies", described as a good following of what he has done with Can (including a large use of different keyboards for hilarous, complex & extravagant songs). In 1981, he recorded "On the way to the peak of normal", an eclectic experimental rock album made of a spontaneous session involving the musicians of S.Y.P.H. (Uwe Jahnke, Ulli Putsch, Jürgen Wolter, Harry Rag) and two radios. These albums have been produced at Conny Plank's studio. During the mid- eighties until today numerous albums have been published for Virgin, notably "Rome remains Rome" , "Radio Wave Surfer", "Flux + Mutability" . One of his classic; "Moving pictures" (an album of virtual film music; timeless and organic) was reissued a few years ago on SPV. Czukay has recently recorded "Luna" which provides a floating, "ambient" and unconventional experience with the help of a wide variety of electronic process and patterns.
