Elysia Crampton

The Milwaukee electronic music collectives Close Up of the Serene and Earth Angel have teamed up with Milwaukee Pride and UWM’s LGBT Resource Center to bring one of the most distinctive voices in the experimental club scene to Milwaukee. Drawing from a borderless pool of Latin, noise, hip-hop and classical influences, California’s Elysia Crampton creates surrealist sound dioramas that comment on class and cultural identity. “The organizers of the night see it as a significant moment for the queer-experimental-electronic community here in Milwaukee, with most of us agreeing that this show would have seemed like a futile effort even a year ago,” says promoter Max Holiday. Before this bill, which also features Chicago producer Itsï and Milwaukee modular synth composer Xexyz, Crampton will speak at the LGBT Resource Center. That lecture, “Queer Indigenous Deities,” begins at 1:30 p.m.
