Karen Salicath Jamali’s ‘Dreams Of Angels’: A Celestial Journey Through Sound and Spirit

Karen Salicath Jamali’s Dreams of Angels isn’t just an album—it’s a transcendent experience. A blend of ethereal piano compositions and divine inspiration, this 16-track masterpiece envelops listeners in a soundscape where tranquility and spirituality converge. It’s a work that invites introspection and offers healing, embodying what Salicath calls a “glimpse” into angelic realms.

“More than ever, we need hope and peace in this world of mankind. Peace can only come from within. I hope this album will guide you to inner peace, hope, and tranquility and help you find your inner truth. Somewhere down in the deep of your soul, it is waiting to be found if you listen deeply,” Karen Salicath shares. These words echo the very essence of Dreams of Angels, which carries listeners on a journey of discovery, love, and celestial connection.

Karen Salicath’s journey to composing music is rooted in a life-altering event. After a near-death experience in 2012, the visual artist turned to music as a form of spiritual and emotional expression. The result is music that feels more channeled than composed. Recorded on her 80-year-old Steinway grand piano at dawn, each track is a single, uninterrupted take—raw, unfiltered, and deeply intimate.

This minimalist approach, using only a Roland recorder and Neumann microphone, ensures that the recordings maintain their authenticity. The simplicity allows the intricate layers of emotion in her music to resonate fully, unburdened by overproduction.

The album opens with “ArcAngel Metraton,” a tribute to the Angel of Life, setting the tone for what feels like a sacred invocation. Each track serves as a musical ode to a celestial being: “Angel Raphael” emanates healing energy, while “Angel Michael” builds a stirring crescendo, embodying the strength and protection of the warrior archangel. The delicate “Angel Sandalphon” contrasts with these powerful pieces, offering a serene flow that mirrors quiet prayers whispered to the heavens.

The award-winning “White Angel” stands out as a heartfelt homage to loved ones who have passed. Inspired by Salicath’s own sculpture of the same name, the piece carries a profound sense of reverence and universal compassion.

“In dreams, my music comes. In dreams, I hear whispers of Angels, in the depth of the canvas of life, hidden blessings of sound, paint hearth full story’s brilliant boldness, of love, peace, and compassion,” Salicath explains. Her words perfectly describe the otherworldly nature of Dreams of Angels.

More than a personal expression, this album feels like a gift to humanity. “I hope you will share this album as much as possible so that a better world can be sown, from soul to soul; this is the time for Angels to come and guide with light,” Karen Salicath urges.

Her music transcends language, culture, and religion, speaking directly to the soul. It’s a gentle reminder that beauty and solace can be found even in the most chaotic moments of life.

This album is a perfect example of the healing power of music and its ability to bridge the tangible and intangible. It’s a luminous offering in a world that often feels dark, a beacon for those seeking peace, clarity, and love.
