Timo Blunck (Born March 25, 1962 in Buchholz i. d. Nordheide) is a German composer, lyricist, producer, bassist, and vocalist.
Blunck was raised in Hamburg, Germany. At the age of 9 he began studying flute under Manfred Trojahn.
In 1978, Blunck founded The Skafighter with his school friend Detlef Diederichsen. In 1980, The Skafighter were renamed Ede und die Zimmermänner alongside the release of their first single on Alfred Hilsberg’s Zick Zack label (they later simply went by Die Zimmermänner).
In 1981, Blunck became the bassist for Palais Schaumburg, where he also sang backing vocals for the first two albums. His unusual style of bass playing followed geometric patterns, as opposed to classical musical scales. This style was a fundamental part of Palais Schaumburg’s atonal sound. Palais Schaumburg featured such producers as The Flying Lizards' David Cunningham, as well as Andy “Coati Mundi” Hernandez of Kid Creole & The Coconuts.
In 1981, Palais Schaumburg signed with Daniel Miller’s Mute Records, after which they played support for Depeche Mode.
Timo is a masculine given name. Notable people with the name include:
Tombe la neige
Tu ne viendras pas ce soir
Tombe la neige
Et mon coeur s'habille de noir
Ce soyeux cortege
Tout en larmes blanches
L'oiseau sur la branche
Pleure le sortilege
Tu ne viendras pas ce soir
Me crie mon désespoir
Mais tombe la neige
Impassible manege
Tombe la neige
Tu ne viendras pas ce soir
Tombe la neige
Tout est blanc de désespoir
Triste certitude
Le froid et l'absence
Cet odieux silence
Blanche solitude
Tu ne viendras pas ce soir
Me crie mon désespoir
Mais tombe la neige
