Patrick Kersalé is an ethnomusicologist, archaeomusicologist and musician. Since 1991, he has worked in some forty countries in Europe, Africa, America and Asia to photograph, record and film traditional musicians and study their music. Musician, lecturer, teacher, he is the author of hundreds of publications (records, books, DVDs, films, articles, teaching tools) devoted to traditional music. Since 2009, he has been studying the musical instruments of the Angkorian period through iconography, epigraphy, archaeological objects, but also through synchronicities, defined by quantum physicists as "remarkable coincidences of events connected by a meaning". On the basis of this research, he reconstructed the lost instruments that existed between the seventh and sixteenth centuries, including several types of harps, cithars, cymbals, drums, trumpets and conches.

The fruits of his research are now published on the various sites mentioned below.

He is a member of the Société des Explorateurs Français, the SACEM, the SCAM and the SPEDIDAM.
