WOZ!

Paul Woznicki, better known as WOZ, lives in Wilmington, De., and has been performing in the Mid-Atlantic area since the 1970’s.  A keyboard player who combines complex rhythms and electronic percussion into original synthesizer instrumental compositions of intensely lyrical melodies.

 

The sound has influences of music from around the world in an eclectic blend that has been released on albums, CDs, tapes, movies (The Fiend, Troth) and television soundtracks (WHYY).  Paul has also been involved in a number of different dance projects, including modern – tap – ballet – butoh - flamenco and belly dance.  Butoh is a form of Japanese dance theatre that encompasses a diverse range of activities, techniques and motivations for dance, performance, or movement.
