Short: Macabre Studios "Parnass" (XM) Author: macabre@hem.passagen.se Uploader: guffaw hem2 passagen se Type: mods/xm Architecture: generic "Parnass" by Mattias Snygg (AKA Monster) of Macabre Studios This piece of art rock was written during the early summer of 1999. I was trying to make a tune with a stronger and more easily-followed melody, but still going for an intricate pattern of harmony and non-repeating structure. Most samples were taken from my Roland XP-10, all in 16 bit 44.1kHz resolution. The title "Parnass" refers to Greek mythology, in which Parnass is an allegory over the strive for perfection in any artform. Parnass is the mountain where the nine muses live. There are nine steps in the stairway leading to the top, and for each step the artist manages to climb he gains a higher level of perfection. /Mattias Snygg September 28th, 1999
