New York, NY (www.lukeparkin.com) - American/Canadian recording artist and composer Luke Parkin, has been chosen to lead the 2006 Print AD media awareness campaign for the Tourette Syndrome Association of America.
Having been afflicted with Tourette from early childhood, Parkin learned to effectively manage the disorder. Parkin is a true success story whose once severe impediment severely affected his life emotionally and physically, as it does many afflicted with the disorder. The composer says that he is delighted to be a part of the TSA's ongoing excellent work in order to bring awareness and education to the mainstream population about Tourette Syndrome.
Parkin recently entered into an agreement to donate up to 20% of his proceeds from two albums released this and next year. Winter Journal, a collection of winter-themed new age piano pieces, received praise and considerable attention after its initial release in December of 2005. A forthcoming release officially due out this October 10th entitled Things I Didn't Know I loved, a two disk CD set of contemporary classical piano pieces inspired by great poetry of the twentieth century is likely to receive widespread attention from the instrumental music world. The compilation features poetically inspired music by legendary Canadian poet P.K. Page and many others including:
AR Ammons, WS Merwin, WD Snodgrass, CP Cafery, Gloria Fuertes, Ingeborg Bachmann, Inger Christensen, Theodore Roethke, Francis Ponge, Hart Crane, Octavio Paz, Nazim Hikmet, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Carlos Drummond De Andrade, Czeslaw Milosz, Edwin Muir, Robert Frost & Dylan Thomas.
