Karen Salicath Jamali and the Language of Dreams
For Karen Salicath Jamali, dreams are not abstract impressions or fleeting images. They arrive as music — clear, continuous, and emotionally charged. In these dream states, melodies repeat and evolve, sometimes shaped into forms that make them easier to remember. For Jamali, recording the music itself becomes the act of writing the dream, a way of translating something intangible into the physical world.
Those moments carry into her waking hours, especially in the earliest part of the morning. She rises before dawn, during a quiet moment when night gives way to day and birds begin their first calls. It is a time she experiences as open and receptive, when the boundaries between consciousness and unconsciousness feel thinner. In that peaceful time, she connects most deeply to her inner world and allows the music to pass through her hands and into sound.
That intuitive process is supported by trusted collaborators. Karen Salicath Jamali works closely with legendary mastering engineer Maria Triana, whose career spans decades and includes work with some of the most influential artists in modern music. Their collaboration is rooted in mutual listening and understanding. Triana’s ability to honor Jamali’s vision has become an essential part of how her music reaches listeners with clarity and warmth.
These elements come together in Jamali’s latest album, Wings of Gabriel, released on November 21, 2025. The 11-track piano work is entirely dream-received and unfolds as a spiritual dialogue guided by the presence of Archangel Gabriel.
The record is structured into three distinct wings. The first explores softness and tenderness, the second opens into compassion and inner peace, and the third moves into mystery beyond words. Each section offers a different emotional doorway, yet all are united by a sense of serenity and balance.
Wings of Gabriel is designed for deep listening. Through dreams, dawn, and devotion to sound, Karen Salicath Jamali continues to create music that feels gently alive and spiritually grounding.
