Desolo Zantas - Mechanical Paradise (Original Album)

[@XerxesTexasToast]

I love the mechanical theme of this album. The percussion is absolutely phenomenal!

[@DesoloZantas]

XerxesTexasToast thanks I'm glad you enjoyed🙏😉

[@Majo_Ellen]

I see, I see. Xerxes has the finest of tastes as well.

God I love the mechanical ticking, it seems oddly organic for it's context

[@DesoloZantas]

Thank you I loved making this one, it was based from one of my nostalgia feelings

[@bandannadee9370]

Now I know why, there are so many layers to these songs

[@prophetedubaroque5136]

I still can't stop listening to this album, I'm not even a fan of industrial sample but it's just some very good music. There's a lot of super interesting play with dissonance and slightly off beat stuff that just... captivates me

[@Majo_Ellen]

It's like listening to a mechanical Beethoven. The wave of the future is here. -b ... So, story, this only just showed up in my recommend feed. Tis a shame, coz it's so astonishing but has less than 1K views. Imma share this with some chums. It's really good music to work to. |^D *As I make maps for DND*.

[@DesoloZantas]

Original content is always under rated I want to do stuff like this but remixes gets more recognition

[@Majo_Ellen]

​@@DesoloZantas That is SO true. Lotta lost gems there. Though, I do admit I do typically run into artists because of their covers.. If they make something original, I'm almost *always* tempted to give it a listen and see what's in the artists' mind on a more personal level! But they're always significantly (a few 50k usually) less viewed. (=w=") You're not alone, I can say that much. One musician said he falls into the same trap of not listening to his co-musicians works and is actively trying to stop that mentality. But he also understands that people just, wanna look up what's familiar to them. I wanna find "Zero Two" remix, is something people search more often than "random melancholic song that's actually good". Huu nelly. Stay strong. Never give up your dreams.

[@DesoloZantas]

I appreciate the recognition and it's definitely true which is the reason why I am making 02 right at this moment lol for the (Monday coming up) I'm trying to get all the zero series out the way. But one thing I did learn from all the experimentation that I have made overall the years is that "In order to get fame you have to branch off of fame"

[@aloopy3178]

this is great man, L'Usine Vintage is SO good

[@MaskOfStars227]

Time for Part 2! 0:09 - Into The City 1:34 - Steampunk 7:24 - Whiteout 9:02 - Welcome To My Shop! 11:43 - City Nights 13:59 - Enter: Metal Reimu 16:55 - Witness The Rebirth! 19:55 - Hotel Motel 24:56 - Aries Returns 28:12 - VS COGS NEO That was Part 2! Metal Reimu is based on Metal Sonic in terms of speed & combat! With a few changes being new flight system and new weapons!

[@Derahex]

Have to say, I REALLY like the new look Life of Gaia series is sporting. Simplistic and really effective, very nice job!

[@DesoloZantas]

Derahex thanks! I'm glad someone likes the designs :)

[@os667]

All your compositions are really great.

[@MadCackle-nv9wb]

This goes for a great majority of your music, but this album and the rest of your originals really get the cogs of imagination turning!

[@dexketristo2349]

Refuge Robotique from this. Such beauty in the melodramatic sound it gives off. I LOVE it.

_Gaia Chronicles: Orange Journal_ Chapter 1: New Sights Re-entering the Dreamscape, I am treated to a birth again. But not a procreation. Instead, an awakening. An _activation._ Thanks to Google Translate working while I meditate on this, I find the first name as "Seeing Eyes". While it could mean eyes watching me (as in the Conspirators), I'm inclined to believe it's _my_ eyes seeing what awaits next. Chapter 2: Endless Autonomy "The Vintage Factory". That's where I am. And my presence has awakened the assembly line. Whatever it's doing, the ominous horns and strings seem to imply I've made the wrong move. As I make my way through the line, I get closer to seeing what they're up to. The machines, I mean. They express noise when I approach them. They are _sentient._ The question remains... Why have I been sent here after witnessing the jungle planets of organic life? Hold on. It's shifted. Somehow, this factory is producing products of old. So... this _was_ a plant of commerce. So what is it now, now that it's still functioning today? I see a crane moving parts. They are being delivered to more conveyors. But where do the parts go- I am found on a bridge, overlooking an impossibly big dump of rejected scraps. While garbage goes in, broken machines go _out._ The machine is recycling itself to maintain mechanical _life._ The floor drops before me, and I fall in. Chapter 3: Face-to-face When I come to, I'm in a surveillance room, with a computer making odd faces and noises at me. It must be the Central Processing Unit. What does it want to tell me? Does it know why I'm here? Do _I_ know why I'm here? Chapter 4: Not for Nothing "Always restless". As I survey the factory, I realize that "Break Time" might be an inaccurate third name. They never stop. Even as they age... even as the dump rises... there is no relent. How can there be so much technology at our fingertips, only for the vast majority of it to grow out of time, or fail us? Chapter 5: Decay I am warped ahead through time, into the Factory's death. Autumn ("The First Day of Autumn") hits, and any joy I find in Fall falls now. As Earth dies, so do the machines gasp their last breaths. There is no interlude, no escape. They die working, as always. Chapter 6: Working Miracle The chimes return _now,_ after all that straining. I look for Gaia, which is easier said than done when the dead Factory is pitch black. "Magic, Alchemy, and Science". Does Gaia have the tools to heal this corpse? Do they outlive the machinery, or die with it? And what reason has Gaia to enter such a dread place on its own will? Chapter 7: Ill Intentions "Rebirthing Process Technique" speaks for itself. But Gaia is gone, and I hear the Conspirators' bass, drums, and strings in turn. It seems _they_ are working on the corpse... but to what ends? Are they destined to go everywhere Gaia is found? And why such the obsession with it? More importantly... why is Gaia gone now that they're here? As the Factory is rebuilt into a more sinister structure, I question who I should strive to learn about more: The enigma, or its successors. Chapter 8: Fall From Grace "Robotic Refuge" is a double-sided lie. There is no refuge to be found in the abomination's chains. Instead, I find the dump deeper than ever before, to compensate for the extra machines that are left to rot forever, devoid of the Factory's old grace. To think a construct designed to create has turned to destruction... Demons, villains, and Shiver Star flash in my mind. Whatever Gaia and these Conspirators are doing seeks to disrupt the natural order of just that, and life. The question now lies in how to put them at rest, before the Factory is merely a statistic of corruption, instead of the outlying example. Chapter 9: Breakdown The melody of Gaia's rage returns! But now, I hear... somber regret and surrender in it? Has Gaia been reached? Or is it more sympathetic to the Factory's plight than my own troubles? Are Gaia and the Factory's gates one and the same? Is Gaia _prosecuted_ by its followers? I have to get to the bottom of what Gaia wishes, if only to decide where I stand in the dream of confusing alignments. Chapter 10: Send-off I am forced more and more out of the Dreamscape again, but am now escorted by "SkrewkcolC". Is it an entity of the Factory? If so, when was it formed? Past, present, or new future? And will it be another clue to Gaia, as the bird was? I am left even more confused on who is seeking what, but I don't plan to be kicked out so easily with just a few estimates.

[@DesoloZantas]

Nice story writing

[@spidey5108]

@@DesoloZantas I've seen far better, but thank you for the compliment. The true challenge is making points pay off as I go further. E.g, me mistaking the first title's meaning alludes to the Conspirators entering the Factory later on.

[@iqbalfebri4082]

Oh man this is wonderful , this worth the wait , take your time man , we always here to listen to all of your music :) keep it up ! this is great really

[@xdjc7066]

I want an animation of this

[@DesoloZantas]

Same lol I'm learning so much to make that a reality, I'm learning how to draw, animate, code, film, video edit, color, etc. I wish I had a team

[@thundermarisol]

@@DesoloZantas Oh, I just saw this since I'm currently binge-watching your original stuff that has no right to be so underrated (you are my second favorite composer after Infinite Rivals, or maybe you two are in the same level actually to me!), and dear goodness that is a lot of stuff for one single person. Idk how you are doing now that has been 2 years but good luck man, I hope you can obtain success! Would offer myself, but I am very busy currently in life-

[@azumetapraline]

Oh Nova! I love this album (and I only listened to the first song)!!!! :o May I ask why most of the titles are in French? :)

[@DesoloZantas]

I wrote several stories for each album that I haven't shared to the world yet. This album is about 2 french lovers that has a very interesting yet tragic story. I'm slowly introducing a giant story to the world. I will release more details after the next new album.

[@azumetapraline]

@@DesoloZantas Woah that looks awesome! I would be really happy to read those!

[@galiasvirtual4078]

@@DesoloZantas So... These albums are not related to the Zero series? And where can I find out more about the others stories?

[@DesoloZantas]

@@galiasvirtual4078 The album's are all related to each other, secret in some videos connecting them but you have to find them. The album's is connected with Elmerninis, Gabriel and Luna. The songs are about their Past, Present and Future. The next album is about what happens after Divine Castle and their purpose. These concept are also connect with other cultures and religions of the past. As above, so below.

I always think "Magearna" whern listening to this.
