Karen Salicath Jamali – “Angel Trio”

Karen Salicath Jamali’s new piano EP Angel Trio, offers a focused and personal listening experience. It includes three tracks, all of which she says came to her in dreams. That kind of process brings a very direct and honest quality to the music, and it’s interesting to hear how she channels that into her playing.

She recorded the songs at home early in the morning before the day started. That setting lines up with the quiet and steady feeling in each piece. She plays a Golden Age Steinway, and the sound is natural and balanced. Maria Triana handled the mastering, and her experience across different styles adds a layer of care that fits the tone of the recordings.

Karen also used one of her own sculptures for the cover, which connects her music to her background in visual art. She’s been working as a painter, sculptor, and photographer for decades, and that full creative picture comes through in how she approaches her releases. It’s also worth pointing out that she began composing after a life-changing experience in 2012, without any formal music training. Since then, she has released thousands of original works and built a solid listener base online.

If you haven’t spent time with Angel Trio yet, it’s worth sitting down with it. After listening, you might want to explore more of her earlier material as well, including Dreams of Angels.
