New York, NY (SASI PUBLIC RELATIONS) - 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 and the Tourette Syndrome Foundation of Canada. Having suffered with the disease 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 October 10, 2006 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.

Winter Journal which enjoyed favorable reviews and widespread radioplay in North America was the 68th opus number in Parkin's large recording catalog, and his first major commercial album. Things I Didn't Know I loved will be the second significant release and the 69th opus number in a series of releases being published from Parkin's catalog.

Luke Parkin, originally from outside Boston Massachusetts, currently hails from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. He studied classical music from childhood where he excelled in keyboard music of the piano. His tremendous aptitude for improvisation of classical forms and composition caused Parkin to study and compile a huge number of albums in both the commercial and contemporary classical worlds of music. His enormous talent for instrumental music and composition has led to a successful career as a keyboard artist. His collection of albums is inclusive of genres ranging from electronica to modern experimental music.

Parkin's image as an artist is not what you'd expect from a classical player. In fact Parkin's persona is constantly changing and reinventing from classic to edgy, left of center and star-like is not unlike the artist's music and its aesthetic itself which seems to keep evolving.

Luke Parkin's music catalog contains some 22 hours of audio that can be previewed in streaming formats on his official website lukeparkin.com.

Parkin will launch a tour to support Winter Journal and Things I Didn't Know I loved later in 2006.

The CD's will also be available at the following retailers starting in September: Amazon.com, Pacificmusic.net, CD Baby.com, Tower, Apple iTunes, Arvato, AudioLunchbox, Bitmunk, BuyMusic, Chondo, Daiki, DestraMusic, DigitalKiosk, Emusic, HearMusic, iTunes-Australia, iTunes-Canada, iTunes-Europe, iTunes-Germany, iTunes-Japan, iTunes-UK, Karma Download, Liquid Digital Media, LoudEye, Mouzika, MP3-Extension, MP3tunes, Mperia, MSN Music, MusicIsHere, MusicMatch, MusicNet, MusicNow, MyKidsTunes, Napster, NewViews, NextRadio, PassAlong, PlayIndies, Puretracks, QTRnote, Rhapsody, Ruckus, RuleRadio, SonicGarden, Sony Connect, Tradebit, TreeTunes, WrapFactory, DigiPie, TastyAudio, Nareos & PeerImpact.
