After the intense visual imagery of The Aesthetic of Opulence LP, this endeavor takes a more subtle approach, akin to the strategic moves on a chessboard, while staying true to the artistry it embodies. It delves into the realms of theology and cosmology — essential elements in the formation of Quintessential Arts. Unfazed by the pursuit of commercial success, it allows the records to speak for themselves much like the carefully crafted moves of a grandmaster in chess match, this effort combines woozy samples, soul-stirring Negro spirituals, and timeless classical hymns, all intertwined with a cinematic soundscape captivating the senses. Each track seamlessly tying to the next, forming a harmonious composition that not only romanticizes the dark chapters of human existence but also seeks to unravel the mysteries behind them. It's an auditory voyage, a celestial experience in its own right. To amass a genuine appreciation for this project, one must embark on a journey through the legendary narratives shrouded in enigma. This remarkable creation, unquestionably a work of art, has unequivocally proven its worth. Drawing inspiration from the profound wisdom of the world's greatest minds, it weaves their immortal words into the tapestry of this organization, effortlessly blending nostalgia with a fearless gaze towards the future, boldly staking its claim on the landscape of artistic innovation, assuming a pivotal role in what is uncharted territory for Quintessential Arts if you may... This project is a careful orchestration sparking emotions, provoking introspection and planting seeds of curiosity while leaving a mark on the creative landscape
Quintessential Arts is a multidisciplinary omnipresent artistic organisation - the name is derived from the fifth essence interpreted as æther in addition to the four elements thought to compose the heavenly bodies in Ancient Greek philosophy. The organisation is driven by reinvention, reinterpretation and recreation of older works encoded by its garments and decoded through the sonic. Just as science and religion go hand in hand, the garments go hand in hand with the sonic as well as other mediums such as literary pieces used to set the stage for every season respectively thus setting it apart from what the masses have become accustomed to. Quintessential Arts is an organisation whose purpose is to challenge the natural order of things, be the voice of reason and critique, make those that don’t identify with the status quo identify themselves with it.
