Somewhere between musical wanderer and ethnomusicologist dwells the artist Cory Seznec and his unique world. A French-American in Paris, Seznec’s fingerstyle guitar-playing is syncopated, polyrhythmic, cross-pollinated, and idiosyncratic. He also sings, plays old-time banjo, and wades in the deep river of American song. Seznec is currently at work on three projects— a brand new solo album recorded in Takoma Park, Maryland with producer Don Godwin; a UK-based world music collaboration called Touki (their albums were recorded at Real World Studios); and several research / archival projects celebrating East and Central African acoustic guitar music (he is currently studying ethnomusicology at the University of Maryland).
