What does this do ?

It adds ambient music tracks for when you are looking at a space platform !

What if i dont have the space age expansion ?

Then the tracks plays on Nauvis alongside the other tracks !

And that's it ?

No actually this mod can also be used like a music album for my other mod too : https://mods.factorio.com/mod/PI-house-made-music

If both are active then the other mod add the music from this one as instrument for the programmable speakers too for if you want to make a juke box with speakers, the duration in tick is also indicated !

Why ?

This way you can select your favourite "album" for each game, and when i publish a new song or a new album or try to make the music player better, you don't have to redownload everything.

No why this album ?

If you like Chill- House or Nu-disco ! It's probably the one where the genre will be the more consistent in the album, it's light relaxing and a bit uplifting, quite repetive, not too distracting, electronic but not aggressively and using also more organic sonorities, if you never heard of Chill-house or Nu-disco before you should totally check it. It's similar to the several music "Quietness" and "Calm Groove" from previous mods :) i will put them there at some point !

What with the doodle ?

it's to please the critics who said real artist use pen and paper because it's much more beautiful than low effort AI generated crap. Here is videoclip of it, with the first song in very very low quality in the background :

List of songs :

• 1-I-Made-Breakfast ( 3 min 46 sec) [Space]

  Genre : Chill-House Nu-disco
  Inspiration : Music from french lounge bar, or commercials for land development project.
  Comment : This is a light and relaxing song. "Chill" obviously. Mostly AI music, with human remaster. Was selected amongst many for the particular vibes and quality (poorly illustrated by the video that needed to fit a 10MB size limit ). Sometimes the engineer wakes up in the mood to do the breakfast for someone else, but then realizes the lonelyness of the situation. It's like a temporary set back. Or like when your cat pee on your shoes because you were about to leave and you have to clean it up before, but you still gonna leave afterward, and enjoy your life anyway. Or maybe when you realize you forgot a belt and your factory on Nauvis didn't produce anything when you thought it was and you fix it, and you're wondering what kind of thing you could do now. Or if you are on a space platform that run out of fuel and you need to fix it to continue your journey. It says it's ok, there's a good news waiting for you somewhere :)

• 2-Delicate-Audio-Massage ( 3 min 24 sec) [Space]

  Genre : Chill-House Nu-disco and a bit of funky
  Inspiration : YSE saint laur'ant
  Comment : This is also a light and relaxing song. Similar than previous it was made using AIs and edited a bit afterward and also selected for the particular vibes and quality. I found a little more positive than previous song, due to the funky accents and brighter melody, it sounds like someone doing a massage and asking if everything's ok to me. And everything is ok, but it still felt necessary to ask, so maybe there's a shadow of a doubt coming from a high desire to please that still exist somewhere and getting currently dissipated :) A bit like when you know your factory is working as intended, but you still look at it on the map often time to make sure, or maybe you don't fully trust, maybe you just like to see it work , a bit of both. That's a song for space platform though, try to sync the start of a ship travel with the start of a song on speaker, that's a feel good one :)

• 3-mmmWHAT ( 3 min 19 sec) [Space]

  Genre : Chill-House Nu-disco and a bit of funky
  Inspiration : same as the others and cat noises too
  Comment : This is again a light song, but it's a bit more uplifting than the first 2, made using similar workflow as i've quit some non-working experiment and went back to more familiar grounds, it was a pretty easy choice because i found the little noises that sound almost like lyrics funny and i like the bass that doesn't really know when to stop in the background. Both were enhanced in mastering after stem separation. It's also a few cents lower and slower than the original version from AI, i found it helped keep the tone neutral and not too joyful, there's an introspective feels i get from the thoughtful bass that's being brighten up by the lead instrument that carry the melody, and a cat in the background wondering what's going on in that crazy mind, with the occasionnal maoow maooww :)

• 4-No-Sucker ( 3 min 58 sec) [Space]

  Genre : Chill-House Nu-disco and a bit of deep house
  Inspiration : Suckers
  Comment : This is as the others a light song, maybe a bit more hypnotic and deep-house than the others, made in line with the others using AI and similar remastering for consistency, with special attention given to a little cutoff on the low frequencies around and under 40 Hz, but there are still very present :) I feel those are the more impactful in the feeling that the song takes you to another place, it sets the environment where the other things happens. For this song it's like a place where suckers aren't allowed, to get in and bring their stuff around. It's nice and clean, no worries :) If you see someone joining your multiplayer game, importing some random blueprint he found on the internet and asking for donations, you can kick the person and put this music, like wolololoo this is done see yaaa suckerrs x) ( or if you are the sucker you can also listen to the music, instead of getting buthurt ). why not ? :)

• 5-Eastward-Syncopation ( 4 min 10 sec) [Space]

  Genre : Chill-House Nu-disco, bits of deep house
  Inspiration : Video games like civilization that contain traditionnal music from different places.
  Comment : This a light song too, maybe a bit more boom boom that the others, i reworked this one more than the others but it was also made from AI generation. Special attention was given to the instrument making the F3 notes at 350 Hz in the background, first isolated from the fast escalation played with the same instrument when the stem were extracted using filters to only keep frequencies around 350 Hz, then re-added a bit everywhere in the song, because it fitted well a bit everywhere, or maybe i just like the contrast, sometimes with a slight time offset so as to make it sound more interesting, like a delay, it's not quite as low frequencies as those i use for this purpose usually, and i think i discovered a new thing i like, i hope you like it too. It's supposed to sound like a travel in unknown fantastic places, even more pronounced around minute 3, with a sequence reminiscent of chinese music, from someone who doesn't know chinese music, more like kung fu panda inspired =)

• 6-I-miss-you-out-there ( 5 min 07 sec) [Vulcanus]

  Genre : Chill-House Nu-disco, a little funky, a little minimal, quite progressive.
  Inspiration : The previous song :)
  Comment : This is a calm song, maybe not as light or joyful as the others, more oriented toward the inner feelings, it's the first song that isn't made to be played in space, because i think it fits better Vulcanus, it will be played in Nauvis without space age anyway. It was also made using AI but i unlike the previous this one was made from pieces of sound i gave them because i wanted to have something more similar to what i liked in previous song. "Tidi tu tidi tuu tuuu" :) in the background that's made for the brain to follow but if you need to sing something it should be the "papaaa la paaaa" that serve for the resolve, otherwise it should be repetitive enough to let the mind wander :) Here is low quality version of it : ( only 56 kbs audio , sound much better in game ! ) :

• 7-Talk-about-it ( 4 min 04 sec) [Space]

  
  Genre : Chill-House Nu-disco, with a slight hip hop vibes for the beats.
  Inspiration : People that have problems in their life
  Comment : This is a calm and relaxing song. Made with AI's, influenced so that the instrument will sound almost like they are talking. And they say that you need to talk about it, don't keep it for yourself, if you have a problem sometimes it can grow in your head and turn you mad, so this song is there as a reminder, you can also just isolate yourself and play video games all the time, i won't judge you on that, i know what it is :) But really sometimes, you just need to talk about it. If you don't have any problem yourself you can listen to the song of course, maybe open up your mind to the others that surround you, and if you notice someone that is unusually silent, or absent, maybe you can send the song, or just inquiry if they are well if they want to talk about "something" that you think is bothering them. Unless you are a very annoying person,they would appreciate you talk with them, otherwise shut the fuck up and send the song ! it's ok there's no copyright on it. That can also work if one of your teamate is feeling down hopefully :)
