With her emotional vocal performance as the focal point, she carves out a minimal yet lush space for swirling and skittering synths, vocal sampling, and live processing to caress and accompany her journey of reconnecting with her creative spirit. Combating self-doubt while redefining her relationship to her artistic practice, My Inner Rest is a vital document in learning how to love and have compassion for oneself.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eInvoking magical realism, Marela uses a visual programming language to build custom tools and effects to process her voice and transform non-musical objects into playable instruments. A handheld mirror, when held to her face, warps and pitch shifts her words into a “voice of uncertainty.” A silver bowl of water spins back echoes of her voice within its watery metallic filter. An orange light bulb captures and plays back samples of Marela’s voice in real time while casting shadows around the room. These compositions draw from elements of experimental music, theater, performance art, and popular song. She envisioned this way of approaching performance as a vocalist seeking an embodied physical experience on stage without\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e the need to be proficient at playing a traditional instrument. She makes use of subtle movements of her body, as well as different gestural mappings using sensors, microprocessors, and training with a neural network to inform her live vocal processing. This allows her the freedom of improvisation within composed parameters to control discrete electronic and sampled sounds. Her voice acts as a storyteller and guides the audience through an embodied exploration of self in relation to creative identity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike Marela’s previously released albums, My Inner Rest was written and composed to be performed live. She was set to start recording after graduating with an MFA from Mills College in 2020, however due to the pandemic and the death of her father, the album was shelved and she left the Bay Area for two years. After deciding to return to Oakland to be closer to friends and her music community, the album was eventually recorded at Littlefield Concert Hall. Former Mills technical director and friend Brendan Glasson engineered several sessions between 2022-23, capturing what would become My Inner Rest in a cathartic close to both Marela's time at Mills College, and the institution itself. The unexpected gestation period gave Marela deeper insight into the power of her creative endeavor, and crystallized the need to perform the material live. Each piece was ultimately recorded on stage, wearing a wireless headset mic and no headphones, as the singer was immersed with her sounds amplified in the room. Some songs took as many as 30 takes in order to capture her ideal performance. After a year of listening and refining these recordings, Marela has yielded a cohesive and intriguing collection of songs that exist apart from the live performances, in their own time and space.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe title My Inner Rest is borrowed from an encounter with the work of outsider visual artist Madge Gill on display at the Collection de l'Art Brut in Lausanne, Switzerland. Gill believed to have been creatively guided by a spirit she called \"Myrninerest\" to complete many mediumistic works. Marela encountered Gill’s work at a time of transition, losing touch with her creative spirit after a stifling encounter with the music industry. Having signed with a big indie label in her mid twenties, the experience left her disenchanted and artistically stagnant. Marela wished to return to a mindset of being a vessel for creative spirit to flow through, and to move further away from a capitalistic mindset of branding and profit. Many artists go through phases of their life where they become disconnected to their identity as an artist and their own work. In the process of struggling through this difficult time in her life, Marela’s path to reconnecting with her creative spirit again was a deeply healing and meditative undertaking. It is her hope that by letting others bear witness to her process, she can inspire other creative spirits to return to their lost vessels, to help repair the soul during times of dissonance.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArtist : Briana Marela\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLabel : AKP Records\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecat no : \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAKP038\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2025-07-13T09:54:41+09:00","created_at":"2025-07-11T10:55:10+09:00","vendor":"Tobira Records","type":"","tags":["akp","ambient","cd","folk \/ left-field pop","new"],"price":224900,"price_min":224900,"price_max":224900,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":47502271676666,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Briana Marela \/\/ My Inner Rest CD","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":224900,"weight":90,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/inn1_9aba4608-b6d5-4ce0-931c-577d45ebcb71.jpg?v=1752198731","\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/inn2_35486a76-d8ac-459c-92c1-659cd0582157.jpg?v=1752198730"],"featured_image":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/inn1_9aba4608-b6d5-4ce0-931c-577d45ebcb71.jpg?v=1752198731","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":36352335577338,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"width":700,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/inn1_9aba4608-b6d5-4ce0-931c-577d45ebcb71.jpg?v=1752198731"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/inn1_9aba4608-b6d5-4ce0-931c-577d45ebcb71.jpg?v=1752198731","width":700},{"alt":null,"id":36352335610106,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":900,"width":1200,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/inn2_35486a76-d8ac-459c-92c1-659cd0582157.jpg?v=1752198730"},"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":900,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/inn2_35486a76-d8ac-459c-92c1-659cd0582157.jpg?v=1752198730","width":1200}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003eペルー／アメリカのアンビエント・ポップ作家Briana Marelaが、2025年6月に同国LAのオールジャンルレーベルAKPからリリースしたアルバムです。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eドリーミーでちょっぴり切ないアンビエント・ポップ〜アンビエント12\u003c\/span\u003e曲を収録。DLコード付属。 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e以下、レーベルによる解説です。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"『My Inner Rest』は、Briana Marelaがミルズ・カレッジのコンサートホールでライブ演奏した12曲のエレクトロアコースティック・ソング集である。エモーショナルなヴォーカル・パフォーマンスを中心に、彼女はミニマルでありながらみずみずしい空間を創り出し、渦を巻いて飛び交うシンセ、ヴォーカルサンプリング、ライブプロセッシングが、創造的な精神と再びつながる旅に寄り添う。自信喪失と闘いながら、芸術的実践との関係を再定義した『My Inner Rest』は、自分自身を愛し、慈しむ方法を学ぶための重要な記録である。\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1474914893\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1474914893\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=none\/track=2118712402\/transparent=true\/\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eレーベルその他作品は\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/akp\"\u003eこちら\u003c\/a\u003e \/\/\/ Click \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/akp\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e to see more AKP Records releases available at Tobira.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-----------------------------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes DL code.\u003cspan\u003e \u003cbr\u003eCD.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e1.
