There’s a lot that can be said about the Celestial Experience. Yet it begs the question; where’s everybody else we normally hear making cameos?
Truth is that question can’t be answered without stating the fact that being involved with such a project would most likely have one’s job or company taken away from them by the higher ups. It could hinder one's academic prospects.
They’d be banned from their church or told they need an intervention because their brain has been infected by devils or maybe, just maybe if they’re lucky a national security agency might come knocking at their door looking to decapitate them and their family… it doesn’t get more awesome than that.
But wait. Can we get rid of the double standard? Why’s it okay when that guy says this, but that guy can’t say that?
It’s fair to assume that everyone withdrew their efforts after seeing the scripts.
This is the kind of talk that would’ve got one's tongue slit way back then and now would definitely get ones Instagram handle suspended indefinitely.
Or maybe these high-ranking associates trusted with the sonic weren’t available.
This project is a two-man effort, key voices are missing yet the production and storyline makes that hard to notice, the organization is as strong as it has ever been.
The spoken word is an assault at systems ranging from theology to politics, economics and optimism as means to an end, ironically these are systems quintessential arts© is built on however that doesn’t mean a jab can’t be targeted at them, so they straighten up a little.
“Finally, they caught up with the times” is what a frequent listener would take note of, the staticky sound is gone, there’s no distortion. The records no longer sound like they were recorded on wax, the boy is now a man. Gone are the days. In with the new, out with the old.
Illustrious, cinematic and creative in every sense of those words, the project doesn’t fall short of anything, if anything you’d long for an expanded edition but then again, “half short twice strong” son, this was the last trick up the sleeve.
Au Revoir.
ABOUT US
Quintessential Arts is an artistic organization that takes art to a broader spectrum, the name acts as something the organization stands for - the fifth essence, quintessential arts epitomizes what art is by recreating, reinventing, reiterating, and reinterpreting creations from previous centuries thereafter creating clothes which encode the ideas then decoding the ideas through the sonic.
Just like there is no religion without science and there isn't science without religion, as an organization working on several projects at one go quintessential arts is aware that without the sonic there are no garments and without the garments there is no sonic, lockscreens and other endeavors which set it apart from a typical artistic organization.
For quintessential arts the goal is to challenge the natural order of things, be the voice of reason and make those that don't identify with the status quo identify with it.
Many would assume there isn’t anything particularly astounding about the origins of the word ‘quintessential’ at a glance it is quite French and can be broken down into essential and then presumably essence. But what about the quint part? Think quintet or quintuplets. Quintessence literally means the ‘fifth essence’. Going back through medieval French to Latin, as quinta essential. It was used in classical and medieval philosophy to refer to: a fifth substance in addition to the four elements, thought to compose the heavenly bodies and to be latent in all things.
At heart quintessential arts is an organization that draws its inspiration from 90’s hip-hop culture and mythology.
