Rise Up Music Project

Cycle of Hands is the alt-somersault genre hydra project of evalynne mclaughlin. She is a Seattle area native who has been helplessly subject to the whims of musical obsession and inspiration for as long as instruments were within reach. She can be found making musical loops or playing piano for hours in a daze. . She is releasing.. Or should now be said that she has released a new song on the 14th of every month this year! For her final song of the year she is presenting the first ever properly recorded version of her oldest and most beloved song that has gone through many iterations and refinements spanning well over a decade called "SUNRiSE"

This song is compiled of excerpts from my notes where I recorded my favorite sentences spoken by my son when he was between the ages of two and five. He said a lot of neat things and I wish I had written even more of them down. But he still says neat things, so it’s not too late!
