Somewhere between the atmospheric soundscapes of New Age, the hypnotic grooves of Chill, and the harmonic textures of Jazz; flows the music of Stephan Earl. His melodic focus is reminiscent of the Baroque composers with a unique and modern edge, while his rhythms and grooves paint an distinctive pallet that is both enchanting and thought provoking.
Stephan’s debut CD “Origins” is the culmination of years of passion and love for music. Inspired by music from across the globe and throughout time, the music is truly a work that defines the artist in this moment in time.
““Stephan's music is a great mix of new style with a grounding of the piano as the base. I haven't heard a song I didn't like!””

“The track, “In My Time,” starts off as a really chilled-out piece then suddenly erupts in searing rock riffs. Its lightness-turned-heaviness has a strange beckoning to it.”

"Thank you for creating that beautiful music. I put it on while driving home from work last night and the moon was shining bright while I listened and it just seemed magical. It was some how peaceful and uplifting at the same time... exactly what music should be. I love it!

“I get goose bumps every time I listen to "It's You My Love"....I love the melody and Alyssa's vocals are fantastic. I keep hitting the rewind. My other thought..."Summer Rain" needs radio air time....it's brilliant Jazz!!!!!!”

"I am deeply touched by Distant Memory in your player, It's the type of melody that instantly leads one to look out the window to watch the sunrise or set in the distance. It's truly beautiful.

“Your music has the rare ability to really set one’s imagination free. There is a relaxing quality but an energy that persuades a person to really get lost inside of themselves and wander to the beauty within. I’m anxiously anticipating the upcoming cd. Keep creating and thank you for sharing!”
