Contra Universum (Original)

[@negativezero8287]

Contra universum... "against the universe" I'll say, the name fits well! It most certainly feels very grand!

Holy heck you've done so much since I last listened to one of your songs! KZbin just doesn't want to recommend your videos to me and it sucks because the songs are all really bloody cool!

[@DesoloZantas]

That is the reason why I do remixes to begin with. Original content is never recommended. Unless I make an original song as a fan-made concept. Irritating, that's something I wanted to go down but that's the way KZbin works. 😮‍💨

[@DanPorterBridges]

This reminds me of the five part epic I'm currently writing and commissioning art for. I love this.

[@crystallation4249]

The title on that corner reminds me of Multi-Medium

[@crowcoregames1785]

this is amazing it feels like boss music or something

[@MrMoom08]

Two of my favorite musicians uploading at the same time? Wowee! The other one is AZALI, his stuff is pretty cool

[@PixelRoyalOfficial]

Yoo you know azali? thats cool!

[@DruidPC]

AZALI's stuff is SUPER cool

[@PixelRoyalOfficial]

@@DruidPC true, I found him from the algorithm a couple weeks ago, and ngl would be cool to see desolo collaborate with him…Just sayin 👀

[@MrMoom08]

@@PixelRoyalOfficial I’ve been listening to azali’s stuff for about a year now and yeah, he and desolo should definitely collab sometime. I think desolo’s abstract dreamlike style and azali’s more minimalist and instrumentally focused style would have a very interesting fusion. Also they’re both kirby fans so they already have some common ground

[@Emu_Playz]

Omg. Official unofficial 1000 kill streak theme.

[@tagadhur_malaguld]

Hello again! :D decided to give this a listen again and... holy kirby this gives me an incredible idea, DAMN this is good, a shame it got scrapped. I love these kinds of songs, where despite even the universe itself going against you, the choices youve made, the friends you’ve made, the things you’ve created, will rival even the strongest black holes. A mighty song given to those that are worthy of it. Anyway hope your doing well :D

[@tagadhur_malaguld]

GOD, why did i listen to all of it? Now i can never listen to all of it again >_< THIS SO FREAKIN AMAZING

[@ChippingPixels1337]

I have been listening to this song on repeat for a while now and man.. The vibe it portrays feels like you've reached your maximum potential with the power you worked to harness all that time which gives me goosebumps!

[@DesoloZantas]

I appreciate it 🙏😌

[@ChippingPixels1337]

@@DesoloZantas Anytime, your music always gives me inspiration to keep on going on!

[@henryfleischer404]

I like the music, and I also like the character design here. I'll probably take some inspiration from that in the future.

[@randomguyxd0]

Keep up the good work! i enjoyed this masterpiece.

[@DesoloZantas]

Glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@DesoloZantas]

I apologize. Thanks for reminding me. Been going through a lot lately. 😵‍💫

[@andrewsigler7437]

AI art definitely detracts from your work. Regardless, this sounds so grandiose! More than worthy of its intended late game implementation.

[@DesoloZantas]

*sigh* 😮‍💨 Today, visuals are crucial to capturing people's attention. I used to spend a lot on artists or invest significant time making visuals myself. However, AI has helped me cut that effort in half, allowing me to create content that appeals to the short attention span of my audience and generate income. This serves as a placeholder until I can afford more professional animations. Although I prioritize my original work, catering to the demand for both audio and visual content is essential in today's landscape. I've noticed a drop in views when solely focusing on audio, as audiences crave both auditory and visual experiences. Ideally, I'd solely focus on music creation, but in reality, balancing music and visuals is challenging in this competitive space. 🧐😵‍💫

[@andrewsigler7437]

​@@DesoloZantas I understand. It's kind of like diluting your formula to cut costs on production. As a longtime fan, I hope it's worth it. Even if it is somewhat unethical, I really do want you to succeed.

[@massgunner4152]

There is a point where this becomes less of an argument and more elitist war, like it seems that people are now defaulting towards "it's AI so it's thrash"

[@RushWheeler]

I mean, it's either pay over $50 at least for an art commission and then spend hours working on a visualizer or just ask the robot to animate the funny dude walking through the galaxy, so I do agree with Desolo's POV here.

[@LordFalzar]

"It's okay because I can use AI as a medium to steal and thus pay a fraction of the value, leaving real artists out of a job" Mhm, thank god it got a bit cheaper for you on the back of someone else losing a job. Real proud of you. Don't worry, karma's a bitch and when the audio industry gets eaten alive like the visual idustry is, we'll all get to enjoy AI music for a fraction of your work. @@DesoloZantas

[@whyismynamehere]

The song is freaking amazing!

[@mintyaquagreen1675]

I don't know what is, but I can't help but feel as though this is feels familiar to a previous attainment.

[@DesoloZantas]

I made a song like this before. But I think I posted once and took it down later.

[@xD0m3nic4G3x]

It really looks cool

[@Crusty__]

Contra Universum... that sounds familiar.... IS THIS A CONTRA VOID REFERENCE? (All jokes aside, amazing work, Desolo, it sounds like a fabulous march through some sort of dreamscape, and i love it 👍)

[@DesoloZantas]

Lol "Contra" is a Latin word that translates to "against" or "opposite" in English. "Contra Universum" translates to "Against the Universe" in English. "Contra Void" could be interpreted as "Against Void" in English. So, in essence, there's a similarity in meaning. One phrase refers to fighting everything, while the other addresses battling the frightening emptiness. 😄

[@Crusty__]

​@@DesoloZantasI just learned more than in my 5 years of latin class =,)

[@thewizardslime6764]

Bro named it literally "against the universe", so real fr fr Also how do i live chat a pre-release in my phone? I can live chat a direct so idk.

What is beyond the universe that we are against, can we win against something that is unseen and endless?

[@bucketOfPenguin]

This is incredible.

[@tagadhur_malaguld]

This for a game about slapping... seems.. a bit much? 1000 killstreak does.. warrant some respect no matter the game i suppose, guess i’ll have to try out slap stick battles then, it’s on roblox, right?

[@lt.silver9650]

its def worth checking out

[@tagadhur_malaguld]

So i did and, not a good first impression :/ i think i’ll just find the songs used on a playlist lol

Within us dwells a luminous spirit, yearning to embrace the guiding beacon that beckons, akin to the tender bond of a mother and her child. Yet, a myriad of obstacles obstruct this sacred path.

Booooo! bro this is ai generated. you do NOT get to make make this all deep. not in my opinion at least.

[@Emu_Playz]

Why was it rejected?

[@DesoloZantas]

Let's just say it wasn't up to par with Tencel's ideals.

[@Emu_Playz]

​@@DesoloZantassomeone forgot to eat their car keys. But real question. Does he pay you to do these? Also why weren't they up to "his standards"?

[@DesoloZantas]

Just email me and I'll explain I don't want to put too much information on KZbin. You can find my contact email under the description of every video. 🙃

​@@DesoloZantasaight

[@whyismynamehere]

Desolo just a question did ten cancel the phase or just rejected the song? Or do you not have information lol because there’s no way this song would get rejected tbh

[@DesoloZantas]

Rejected, because he wanted something even more intense. But because of a payment disagreement that we had. Things had to depart from there unfortunately.
