I post lots of work in progress clips and previews here months before they get released as well as a bunch of art and you should join because its also a cool place to share things of your own/stuff you find that is certified neat! You can also find exclusive songs here by buying my music on Bandcamp
About Me
Since a very young age, I've always been making something. My interests change, but I'm always looking for new mediums to mess around with. With no clear goal or motive in mind, I like to plan out, build, and share these projects with the outside world. Here, you can find nearly everything that I do.When I was 3 years old, my parents bought this massive roll of printer paper that I would spend hours drawing on, with no end result in mind. Since we lived very far away from my school, and anyone else, I was able to spend the time to figure out a lot of things on my own.I began writing music in the small and beginner-friendly browser sequencer beepbox, which quickly became one of my most used websites at that time. I learned how to get around the open-source notation software Musescore and I began transcribing songs that didn't have any good transcriptions online and arranging songs for the small pep-band at my school to play at basketball games. I decided to begin writing my own original songs in Musescore and quickly realized that I needed to commit to the daunting task of learning how to use the DAW Ableton to some degree.After learning to use the program to a basic level, I decided to release music under the name "This Is The Glasshouse".
Current Projects
(i was kinda fuckin drunk when i wrote these but out of shame and respect i will not be rewriting them other than making them understandable)
Water EP
An ep of eight songs. you will start with sex violin and end with shitty noise. itll be like a depression arc. i think it's going to be pretty neat and come out in early 2022.
Covers EP
a good chunk of songs that were written by other people I respect viciously and unforgivingly torn apart and reconstructed from the ground up. i have killed them. i am sorry, I think it's going to be pretty cool, and come out in mid 2022.
Glasshouse Album 1
there will be music... maybe??????????? and it'll be good????????? you will laugh, some wil cry. Story songs, stupid songs, personal songs. i am just telling you how it is, and how it is not. but the music is the most important part! i could sing about shit that doesnt matter and i think it.ll still soiund ppppprreeeeeetttttyyyy mad decent, ii think it's going to be pretty hot and come out in mid to late 2022 before I ffffffffffffuck off to a institution of knoelegde

Lyrics
Little Death ("Something Underwater" - 2022)
⠀
I remember being born today
Awaking from my little death
I remember everything like new
Enough so that there's nothing left
I saw what makes a person change
I learned where it originates;
(I'm crashing and burning)
Inside a person who has now
Become too dense to navigate
(and I never know my way around)The stories that they used to tell
Would shake us to the core
The fable of the ice
The stitches and a scarI remember hanging from the floor
Helpless in our invention
I was too afraid to look around
For if invention had killed him
From the broken window I was born
Evening of the 5th of November
Running up the hill of my demise
The old one killed in mid-winterLike stories that they told to us
But none like this before
The fable of the ice
The stitches and a scarAnd when he saw me I pretended not to care
But by bomb or little death I knew that he was scared
But I know if he had died then I’d forget to live (with myself)
And I think if I had died then he’d never forgive (himself)The stories that they used to tell
But none like this before
The fable of the ice
The stitches and a scar
Glasshouse and the Undeniable Truth of god ("Something Underwater" - 2022)Cement yourself in truth because to lie is diabolical
Having doubt is fine you know Its only biological
What little doubt is there can be quite easily disguisable
What is there to say when the truth is undeniableIf you stood below the roof then you would feel a little smaller
If you pull up all the roots then you would stand a little taller
But I wanna be cartographed
I need to be articifact’d like fossils blackened left in atticsThey say churches stand tall
Under their flame
Crucifix hangs on the wall
lightly by chainPharaohs in gold masks intact
All with their tombs unopened
Wait for a minute and donkey boy Is sinking through the meshThe words the film critic spoke
Made a little death seem small
Though his speech felt vaguely misanthropic,
I will recite and will recallI find myself through metaphysics
And I’d do it again again again
Until my thread
Ends on a gravestone somewhere quietly
In a bed
I was never the type of person
To ask you
Wheres the flame
The burning of everything
Everything that I am
But my name
(Existing in all instances of time and space and
Never once explaining or revealing itself
Given the chance would they let it be
And Would you let it all happen
The answer is doubtful so
Need the fire Need the famine
Need the flood that stripes me of all convention
No image no pronouns no atoms
Would I be drawn up and strung, no.)Cement yourself in truth because to lie is diabolical
Having doubt is fine you know Its only biological
(You’re so impersonable and You don’t care, you dont even care)
What little doubt is there can be quite easily disguisable
What is there to say when the truth is undeniableStill I’m like
I didn’t mean it
I didn’t want it
Can we start over again?
Cus' it was all pretend
And putting it out there for you
Still I’m like
I didn’t mean it
And I didn’t feel it
Can we restart it again?
Cus' it was all pretend
Just putting it out there (for you)
It would be easy
believing in something new
Ice (Something Underwater; 2022)
⠀
When I saw you fall through the ice
I wasn’t scared myself
As I wiped away the snow
Under twilight hills
Through the sheet of ice
I saw you swimming
Suspended in blue
Somersaults
Smiling as you faded
⠀
Kyne (Something Underwater; 2022)Stolen on your 10th Birthday
Given a new Language
A new haircut
A new button-up shirt
and a book of new words(His head begins to shrink)Getting raped on your 11th
Cold grey fingers scar your body
Tuberculosis on your 12th
On a small and thin mattress 400 miles away from home
Dying alone on your 13th
Feet dangling over the end
It ended before it had started(His head is grey and thin as a nail)Thrown in an unmarked hole behind the school in an afternoon
With No record, You vanish(His head fades to dust)On your 104th, they apologized
yet you remained unchangedYou felt kyne
⠀
Something Underwater ("Something Underwater" - 2022)Shall we live
On faded scrolls
Paintings on the walls
Waterfalls
Over you
My love came from the blueTidal waves
Make my day
Tell me a little lie, heterochromatic eyesAre we turning blue?
Brings me back to you
You do what you doI could feel the water diluting my body with the force of being born but instead of a life it's god and with its great blades it leaves nothing unquartered while it frays my ends and unwinds like a pair of gentle hands in slow motion picking apart my very beingand Its eyes move with the will of its infinitely precise dimensions that fall off into black and red abyss where you sink to the bottom and find it jaws open, waiting for something- just anything to happen.and It was then I knew that I was merely and unapologetically human.
Waterfall (Something Underwater; 2022)
⠀
I am survived underwater
And it's no surprise to anyone
Nobody in sight
By the end of the night
When they're going to die
Not try and survive
I fall again
It’s a beautiful thing
And gravity alone
No matter where I go
⠀
You (The Grand Ole Remix EP; 2021)
⠀
In the storm
I am born from anew
And in the eye
There's You
Dragonflies
Passing by my room
And in the eye
there's youSo if I'm still here then you are too
But I don't think that that is necessarily true
We both pull the weight for two
So is that the best that you can do?
What a place
Sancuarium!
And to tear it down it's us
In the space
Of a million days
I'll spend a life with you

Coming Soon! I'm still working on gathering examples, figuring out pricing, as well as seeing how able I would be to work on multiple things at a time for others.
