Elysia Crampton

Elysia Chuquimia Paula Crampton, also known as Chuquimamani-Condori, is an American electronic musician, producer, poet, and composer.

[1] E+E consisted of several performers and contributing writers, editors, and DJ mixes made with a keyboard, acapellas, and a sampler.

[6] Music review Web site Tiny Mix Tapes gave the album a 4.5 out of 5,[7] while Pitchfork said: "Demon City, Virginia producer Elysia Crampton's follow-up to her sumptuous debut American Drift, is a wonder of concision and represents another massive leap forward in her growth," of the album.

The incorporation of these textures into my own voice never had to be deliberately sought out; these ancestral/familial narratives, languages, tones, colors… moved with me as I musically came of age.

[9]Crampton also cited many individuals as influences for her 2015 album American Drift, including José Esteban Muñoz (a noted Cuban-American queer theorist), black pianist Margaret Bonds, Jeffrey Jerome Cohen (a writer and professor in Medieval studies) and queer performance artist, photographer and close friend Boychild.

[4] After finishing up her first studio album, American Drift, Elysia returned to Bolivia, to care for her grandmother Flora.
