ESPRIT is the sample-based electronic side project of George Clanton, launched in 2012. Early releases Girls Only and Summer Night helped define the vaporwave genre, while the 2014 LP Virtua.zip broke new ground by using entirely original material at a time when the scene relied heavily on manipulated samples.
The 200% Electronica project blends ESPRIT's signature vaporwave compositions with chopped-and-screwed samples drawn from George Clanton's own catalog, a technique developed over two years of touring with a Roland SP-404SX.
The show is presented by good shows and POP Montreal, taking place at the Society for Arts and Technology (SAT) in Montréal, QC, on Thursday, September 24 at 9:00 PM EDT.
