| |
| A WORD ON PLAYBACK : This module is very resonant filters intensive |
| and I specifically designed it while using XMPlay 3.3 for rendering. |
| Using another player may then sound slightly different from what I |
| have in ears. |

\----------------------------\
| 03 / 10 : BIOCORE SYSTEM |===========================================\
\==========================/ |
| |
| "The Survivors" spaceship was heading for an unknown solar system.|
| To survive years in space, they needed to sustain an artificial |
| ecosystem of nature within the ship. |
| |
| They created the illusion of a piece of living Earth which would |
| help them provide kind of natural environment, a place for |
| producing renewable resources and remembering their home ... |
| |
| |
| This central system was known as the BioCore System and was a |
| critical part of the spaceship, and as such very important to |
| maintain operational at any time. |
| |
| Due to the limited space of the ecosystem, mainly vegetables |
| were grown within the ship and fresh meat became food of |
| of the past. Animals would have taken too much place. Though, |
| they existed in state of cryogenized embryos. All known species |
| of animals, along with all fishes, plants, trees and such were |
| kept in their most smallest possible form , controlled by |
| the best genetic engineers. |
| |
| Then, once they'd land on a habitable planet, they would |
| artificially release all these beings for a new life. |
| |
| |
| |
| But ... sometimes, even in a long boring trip among the stars |
| something unexpected can happen ... |
| |
| Field of asteroids, coming from nowhere, at an incredible speed. |
| Not possible to avoid their passage. The Admiral only hoped for |
| the ship to pass through without too much damage ... |

| NOTES |================================================================\
\=======/ |
| |
| Chip tune ... I guess |
| There is no sample larger than 256 bytes in this one. I really wanted|
| to work with "simple" waveforms yet shaping them with heavy usage of |
| filters to get interesting sounds. |
| |
| |
| While developping it, I wanted it big and small ! Big like a |
| full-length music on its own, and small in file size. |
| I then used many tricks to reduce patterns data - while adding more |
| and more complexity in the tracks... : repeats and reuses of patterns|
| using different instruments or track combinations; I considered |
| compressing the module as a MO3 (that was around 60 KB) but it |
| somehow damaged the overall sounding so I dismissed that idea. |
| |
| I might say this module was 95% completed by 2010 but I was never |
| satisfied enough to release it, then I had other stuff to manage |
| and time passed ... A long time ... |
| |
| Well, so here it is, but I'm tired to work more on this and left |
| some stuff less refined than the other parts ("drums" specially). |
| Maybe for a next time. |
| |
| |
| Anyway, I hope you will enjoy this as it is ;-) |
| |
| (Give me 21 SIDs and I would be happy) |
