Briana Marela

Briana Marela is a Peruvian-American composer, vocalist, and performing artist based out of Oakland, CA. Her recent music centers the voice, technology embodied through gesture, and enhanced objects. Her gestural and lyrical song performances draw from elements of both experimental electronic music and vocal-driven pop music. Using the visual coding language MaxMSP she is able to make custom tools to create compositions with varying fixed elements that transition into moments of improvisation.
