Marc Schuster
Listen to the latest.
"Marc Schuster is an insanely creative, multi-talented guy from the Philadelphia area... Not only is he an educator, author, literary critic and visual artist, he’s also a prolific songwriter and musician, recording both as a solo artist and as part of numerous music projects and collaborations with an ever-expanding roster of musicians, including his latest project The Star Crumbles with fellow musician Brian Lambert... As if all that weren’t enough, he also started doing a weekly hour-long music podcast... where he features songs by talented indie artists he’s met through Twitter. I honestly don’t know how he finds the time and energy to accomplish all that he does!"
-Jeff Archuleta, Eclectic Music Lover
"Marc has shown he is a passionately dedicated representative of numerous communities who support independent art. He’s promoted musicians, he’s supported their campaigns, and maintains a universally positive morale throughout all of this. He inspires those around him. There isn’t much more you could ask for in a human being."
-Jeff Thomas, Fifteen Minutes of Fame
The Rundown
MUSIC: I've been involved in a number of musical projects over the years. I currently play bass in Delcobras and record under my own name as well as with Nick Cervini and a rotating cast of singer-songwriters in The Obscuritans. I've also recorded with Brian Lambert in The Star Crumbles and with Timothy Simmons in Simmons and Schuster.
RADIO: I've hosted a few radio shows over the years and currently play music on AMS radio every Wednesday night at 7PM. Archived episodes of my old shows are still available in podcast form: #Tweetcore Radio Hour and Abominations Radio.
BLOG: I have a blog called Abominations where I interview independent artists and occasionally opine on topics related to music. I've also been known to write reviews for the Audio Mirage Studios blog.
BOOKS: I've written several works of fiction and nonfiction. My most recent work of fiction is a children's story called Frankie Lumlit's Janky Drumkit, and my most recent work of nonfiction is called Tired of California:The Beach Boys' Holland Revisited.
ART: I dabble in various types of visual art.
FILM: I wrote and co-produced a short film titled Daughter, Actually and improvised a short film called Milk Fudge with my friends Tim and Jen. I've been involved with a couple of other projects, too. The Star Crumbles documentary was fun. Most recently, I composed the soundtrack for the short film Canary Trap.
