A 9 track album, you’re taken through periodic piano instrumentals that are composed within a fractal of time. You can see why she has performed in Carnegie Hall, won several awards and graced this particular period of time with her musical vantage. From the melancholy opening of the album, you’re taken through the metaphysical and spiritual, all in one thread of emotion. It is like traversing a tangled web, and sometimes staring down the dark road with a light beaming across. Choice notes, balanced with vigor and tenacity, glitter all across this album.
The vibrant ends of a spectrum
While her mind is independent of the constraints of the ivory, she translates it all through the instrument with ease. It is not common to see a virtuoso being so selective in her storytelling. Karen Salicath Jamali is not whipping lightning fast rhythms just because she can. She is trapping you in the mind and message of Angel Hanael.
Moving through the emotions, you can see how well she slides from scales and techniques to exemplify the emotion. It is this emotive playing that sets her apart from other instrumentalists. This is personification, a poetry of words with everything to win, nothing to lose. In mixed emotions like Angel Hanaels Dream, she mixes scales and keys to help us visualise the mixed nature of the moment.

Self professed metalhead, moderately well read. If the music has soul, it's whole to me. The fact that my bio could have ended on a rhyme and doesn't should tell you a lot about my personality.
