Editorial review
Eric McCarl is a California pianist who is rooted in several traditions. There is the classical tradition of Chopin's Nocturnes; the 20th century impressionism of Debussy, Satie, and Ravel; and a jazz tradition whose harmonic ideas come from Erroll Garner and Bill Evans as well as Keith Jarrett. The title of Seeking the Light Within may sound like a new age recording, but in reality is anything but -- though listeners who fancy that music would have no problem finding solace here. McCarl is wrapped tight in the transpersonal psychology realm, but it's not to be held against his gorgeous pianism, one that finds certain lushness in the sparest melodic ideas. These are only possible, of course, because McCarl's sense of intervallic harmony is keenly attuned to the nuances of silence and empty space. This is music made in a room where the imagination is allowed free rein, tempered only by an exquisite sense of melodic invention and a will to explore the nooks and crannies left in the tail ends of scalar inquiries. The left-hand strategies McCarl employs are also small, or smallish; they are the doorway to a wondrously vast sound world in miniature, a dimension that brings warmth and humanity to the mysterious, the spectral, and the ponderous. While mystery itself and its endless unfolding may be an MO for McCarl on this gorgeously rendered album, it is absolutely devoid of smoke and mirrors. What we hear is just the sound of an accomplished composer and pianist in the process of responding to his muse, while discovering the true nature of his gift. Seeking the Light Within is the first installment in the Trilogy of Light. ({/www.ericmccarl.com}) ~ Thom Jurek, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
Introspective Art
Occasionally you hear an album that hits you right away. The music is stirring, the phrasing perfect and the sentiment of the work is transparently clear. It sounds good and feels even better. For me, Eric McCarl's solo piano opus, 'Seeking the Light', is such an album. No matter where I listened to the album, in my car going down the highway at 70 miles an hour, writing at the computer or just in my living room, I felt as though I was miles away from the buzzing intrusion of life around me.
Eric McCarl started his career at the tender age of eight years old. When we were burying G. I. Joes in the dirt or changing Barbie's outfits or both, Eric was composing piano music. He did not stop there. If a musical instrument could be blown into, plucked, or banged on - he mastered it. Although he graduated from Penn State with a degree in Computer Science, it did not take him long to realize that the world of making music was calling to him.

Reasonably good piano solo music. The highlight of Eric McCarl's music is the tune Amanda Paige that gets a lot of play on Dish TV's Moodscape music channel.
