Passionately embracing some of the darkest periods to dawn human history; the album art is genuinely uncomfortable to look at. However, it goes without saying that it could’ve been far worse. With cutouts of faces that made headlines every other week for criminal acts ranging from tax evasion to the sale of prohibition. The first 6 covers in the sonical series were highly minimalist with the 7th steering towards being more populated, the 8th season’s sonical signature album art can be best described as minimalist-maximalism marking the first time a cover off the sonical series desperately ties into the content. This speaks to the passive growth that comes with the territory, with the recording process already underway, it’s only a few weeks until everyone hears ‘Società Foggiana: A Sonical Signature’ the product of a two-year long hiatus.
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.
Quintessential Arts is a multidisciplinary omnipresent artistic organisation founded August 8th, 2020 in Johannesburg South, South Africa.
