Each song on the album is dedicated to a unique experience of being trans: “hitherto” is a retrospective on life before someone knows they are trans but realizes something is off, “anagnorisis” expresses the process of discovering one’s trans identity, “eigba (euphoria i)” is a simple reflection on gender euphoria, “oscar” deals with the struggle of going through daily life while closeted, “the peel” is about having difficulties coming out to certain people (later contrasted with a supporting friend), “armadillo (euphoria ii)” is another song about gender euphoria, and “the first number after zero” is a hopeful song about the future. Many of these situations can seem difficult to understand or relate to if you cannot experience them firsthand, so this album seeks to bridge that perceived divide by showing that ultimately they are all simply human emotions and experiences. The goal of this project is to help those who want to better understand the experiences of the trans community by sharing these emotions and fostering human connections and understanding.” font_container=”tag:h1|font_size:26|text_align:left|color:%236d6f71″ google_fonts=”font_family:Archivo%20Narrow%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][vc_empty_space height=”10px”][vc_btn title=”Click here to listen to CLEMENTINE, PART 1” shape=”square” color=”white” align=”center” i_icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-headphones” add_icon=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fsamunderscore.bandcamp.com%2Falbum%2Fclementine-part-1||target:%20_blank|” css=”.vc_custom_1651854729202{border-radius: 2px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”6754″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https://samunderscore.bandcamp.com/album/clementine-part-1″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”10px”][vc_separator color=”custom” border_width=”3″ accent_color=”#5bc0b2″][vc_btn title=”© Design Cultures & Creativity, 2022″ style=”classic” color=”white” size=”sm” align=”center” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fdcc.umd.edu||target:%20_blank|”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/5″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/5″][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-envelope-o” color=”custom” align=”center” custom_color=”#2f4858″ link=”url:mailto%3Adcc-honors%40umd.edu|||”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/5″][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-instagram” color=”custom” align=”center” custom_color=”#2f4858″ link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Finstagram.com%2Fumd_dcc||target:%20_blank|”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/5″][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-twitter” color=”custom” align=”center” custom_color=”#2f4858″ link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Fumd_dcc|||”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/5″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
