Biographie de l'artiste pour Holger Czukay

Holger Czukay Holger Schüring 24 March 1938 – 5 September 2017 Was A German Musician. He Co-Founded The Influential Rock Group Can In 1968. He Was A Singer And Played Bass Guitar Guitar Keyboards Percussion Drums And French Horn. He Was Born In The Free City Of Danzig Now Gdansk . Czukay Studied Under Karlheinz Stockhausen From 1963 To 1966.
Czukay Recorded Some Notable Early Ambient Albums And Is Important For His Utilization Of Shortwave Radio Sounds And Sampling And Has Collaborated With A Considerable Number Of Musicians. Initially Czukay Had Little Interest In Rock Music But This Changed When A Student Played Him The Beatles' 1967 Song "I Am The Walrus" A 1967 Psychedelic Rock Single With An Unusual Musical Structure And Blasts Of AM Radio Noise. This Opened His Ears To Music By Rock Experimentalists Such As The Velvet Underground And Frank Zappa. Czukay Co-Founded Can In 1968. He Played Bass Guitar And Performed Most Of The Recording And Engineering For The Group. Rosko Gee Former Bassist Of The British Band Traffic Joined The Band In 1977 With Czukay Handling Only Tapes And Sound Effects On Album Saw Delight His Final LP With The Group Before Departing For A Solo Career. After His Departure From Can Czukay Recorded Several Albums. One Of His Trademarks Was The Use Of Shortwave Radio Sounds And His Early Pioneering Of Sampling In Those Days Involving The Painstaking Cutting And Splicing Of Magnetic Tapes. He Would Tape-Record Various Sounds And Snippets From Shortwave And Incorporate Them Into His Compositions. He Also Used Shortwave As A Live Interactive Musical Instrument Such As On 1991's Radio Wave Surfer A Method Of Composition He Termed "radio Painting". Czukay Also Stated "If You Want To Make Something New You Shouldn't Think Too Far Beyond One Certain Idea". Czukay Collaborated With A Considerable Number Of Musicians Notably A Series Of Albums With Jah Wobble And David Sylvian Two Younger British Musicians Who Shared His Interest In Blending Pop Music With Experimental Recording And Sampling Techniques. Other Collaborators Include U.N.K.L.E Brian Eno Eurythmics And German Neue Deutsche Welle Band Trio. In 2009 After A Problematic Time With The Record Company That Had Been Gradually Re-Releasing His Albums On CD Czukay Began A New Collaboration With The Claremont 56 Record Label Releasing Vinyl-Only Remixes Of Tracks From Earlier Albums As Well As Some New Recordings. This Approach Changed Czukay's Plans For His Back Catalogue So That The Original Albums Der Osten Ist Rot 1984 Rome Remains Rome 1987 And Moving Pictures 1993 Will No Longer Be Reissued In The Case Of Moving Pictures Because The Master Tapes Have Degraded Beyond Repair . Instead Most Of The Tracks Are Being Re-Made And Newly Organized As Limited Edition Vinyl Releases.
