User:Jonathan Hacklife/Daniel Parson

Daniel (called 'Dan') Parson was dedicated to music, programming and the creation of the 'Solresol' system: a universal musical language for the 'Sudre'. Daniel Parson was born on April 13, 1989 in the city of 'Lincoln' in Illinois (USA) and passed away on July 13, 2023. He was fluent in natural language, Spanish and Solresol. He played the trumpet and the ocarina. He contributed to the world of music in various ways. Most notably in 2011, he joined the 'Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia' club (an American musical sorority, committed to the promotion and appreciation of music).

He actively worked to promote the knowledge and use of the Solresol language system, which is a unique form of musical communication using syllables. In 2011, he participated in the establishment of the 'sidosi.org' platform (the 'sidosi sinifon' is the Solresol community for learning and teaching), where he contributed translations and educational materials related to music theory in the context of Solresol. He also participated in the creation and development of the 'wiki' for Solresol, along with contributions to the Linglänapük 'wiki' and other related projects.

In addition, it led initiatives to obtain a language code for Solresol recognized by 'ISO' (code: 639-3). This is an important step towards its wider recognition. Under the name 'Dan Parson', he was an active part of Solresol groups on platforms such as 'Facebook', 'Reddit' and 'Discord'."
