Welcome to the website of composer Philip Schuessler: the most comprehensive on-line resource for news, scores, and audio clips for his various works ranging from solo, chamber, orchestral, and electro-acoustic music as well as experimental rock and improvisation.
Philip Schuessler just recently completed his PhD at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. He received his bachelor degree in composition at Birmingham-Southern College and his Masters Degree from the University of Miami. He attributes the work of New York School composers, particularly Morton Feldman, as having a profound influence upon his compositional output. Current compositional research involves the exploitation and emergence of silence as an inherently musical, timbral and structural device. The use of electronics as a resource of pure sound material is in the tradition of Luigi Nono and spectral music techniques. He resides in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois with his wife, composer Kari Besharse.
