    last night
    i wanted uncle guido to come again
    alive dark bearded dark eyed
    as he must have come to father's dying

    at suppertime
    to step into mother's dining room
    skull capped black cassocked
    with a crimson sash and scarlet piping

    mother
    i wanted her again alive
    to remain seated at the dinner table
    young and beautiful widowed

    she welcomed
    her brother like he'd become
    that daily hour comfortable that came
    before midday in the summer

    and in winter
    it was after midday that she opened
    the windows to allow
    a change of air into the palace

    i wanted uncle to drop
    on the table the coins in the purse
    the rents and the dues
    taxes collected on mother's behalf

    to say he'd found
    a drip from a gutter a few broken bricks
    to promise he'd hire
    someone to clean and repair a chimney

    i wanted to be asked
    what we children had learned
    from the tutor today latin or logic
    philosophy or fencing to play a lute

    i wanted to learn again
    how to call him padre

  9. good morning, everyone! I'm Rachel, AKA Rachel Underspoon, a transfeminine non-binary artist and composer. today's #BandcampFriday , so now is a great time to buy my music!

    I make electronic music that borrows from, and shifts quite a bit among, genres, and I currently have four releases available on my Bandcamp page:

    ALL THE WALLS WILL FALL, released just this past June, is a more vocal-heavy collection of tracks about fascism, transfeminism, and mental illness, drawing heavily from drone, industrial, the icier side of trip-hop, and sound collage.

    the ghost fetish is a mostly-instrumental album loosely centered around the theme of anxiety around climate collapse. tgf features heavy synthwave and downtempo influences, and it's probably the most accessible of the four.

    eclipse is an EP of songs that didn't fit on nonbinaural. I didn't intend it to be as such, but it's a collection of songs about my own mental state, intensely personal and inward-focused even when the songs are telling a story.

    nonbinaural is a collection of early compositions from back in 2022 and the start of 2023. it showcases the energy that I had when I started composing music, just kicking out song after song because I finally had a creative outlet that clicked with my brain.

    all four albums are available at the pay-what-you-want level, with a minimum purchase price of just $1 each. my goal is to keep the barrier to entry low so that people in challenging financial situations can still afford my music, but if you can afford more, then please do!

    a brief sampling of my own personal favorite tracks:

    victoria
    red jackie
    one by one the lights go out
    what she left behind
    until the colors dissolve
