SomeRiseSomeFall is a music project employing the talent of artists - songwriters ,musicians & visual artists. It is an initiative of the company Some Rise Some Fall Limited. The initiative looks to build connection within the community through artistic projects that examine the human condition.

 

The SomeRiseSomeFall project aims to produce recordings that reflect all facets of the human condition and to inspire in the face of lifeʼs challenges, and everyone involved shares a profound belief in the transformative power of music.

The recent critically acclaimed 2nd album released in 2021 "No  Simple Highway" focuses on love, loss, and grief and how music can express emotions that can help through difficult times.

After releasing our first album "Some Climb" Michael established an initiative Community Support Resources within his company that works with community organizations to create better connections to the wider community for vulnerable people within the community.

 

MAKING A DIFFERENCE WITH MUSIC

SomeRiseSomeFall, as well as being all about the music, is a project passionate about many social issues. The project's aim is to reach out via indigenous musical talent to highlight positive initiatives in two key areas:

 

- Mental health awareness & support 

- Social and community programs to improve the daily lives of those stuck in the limbo existence of the Direct Provision system.

- Community connection working in support of the Cork City Libraries Conversation Cafe initiative

- Talking to businesses about better mental health environments in the workplace
