Christian Naujoks

Hamburg-based composer Christian Naujoks (b 1980 in Lübeck (DE)) is known for the striking minimalism of his rhythmic compositions, which combine influences of classical song-writing, folk music, club sounds and New Music. With the Hamburg electro label Dial, where with Peter M. Kersten (Lawrence) and Richard von der Schulenburg (RVDS) he also forms the group Sky Walking, he has released three solo albums: his untitled début and the follow-up True Life/In Flames (2012) were characterised by Naujoks’ performance on piano and marimba; his singing and his style of playing became distinctive features of their own emphatic, warm sound, located in pop and ambient.
