Experience the Symphony of the Senses with Cliffy's PhotoART Pairing!

Are You Going With Me?

Let's get inside a world where art isn't just seen, it's also heard, tasted, and felt. Introducing Cliffy's PhotoART Pairing, an immersive experience that engages all your senses, inviting you to explore life's rich tapestry.

The perfect blend of art, music, and wine

In comparison to other art appreciation events, Cliffy's PhotoART Pairing is different. This is an innovative concept that pairs a photograph's visual impact with carefully curated music and wine. Basically, it's an invitation to let art touch your soul and awaken your senses.

Imagine standing in front of an amazing picture. Colors and shapes tell a story that words can't. As you soak in the image, a melody plays, its rhythm and tone perfectly complementing the visual story. You're drinking wine. It's flavors and textures add another layer to the experience. You're not just looking at art anymore - you're living it.

Artistic paper plays a crucial role

It's extremely difficult to overstate the importance of artistic paper on this multi-sensory journey. Touch, texture, and weight all contribute to the character and essence of the artwork. Just as the right frame enhances a painting, the choice of paper or canvas can bring out the soul of an image. Touching the paper means touching the artist's vision. It's like you can feel the textures and emotions they felt. It's a tangible experience holding the paper in your hands. As you drink wine or listen to music, you're transported to new worlds.

Here's the image titled Are You Going With Me? This image of a tornado and dark clouds across Tornado Alley, USA is paired with an emotive jazz track. The wine brings back memories of other times in America. I sit back, watch, drink, listen, and relax.

I jumped out of the car as soon as the wheels stopped spinning and started shooting the EF2 tornado in McCook, Nebraska. While I was taking pictures, the tornado warning siren sounded. I wanted to make this image look more like a painting than just a photo, so I increased the color vibrancy. A peaceful green pasture in a small town was turned into a scene of destruction by an unexpected turbulent visitor. Are there any visual contradictions?

My pick was Are You Going With Me? From the Pat Metheny Group's Off the Ramp album. This title seems appropriate for tracking tornadoes in storm chasing season. There's a slow rhythmic tempo to the track, and the music arrangement makes you feel like you're traveling. A variety of jazz instruments 'speak' with each other as the music builds.An iconic Roland GR-300 guitar synthesiser brings the epitome of contemporary jazz fusion and elevates you from the ordinary to the extraordinary.

I chose a 1982 Bordeaux red to remember the year OFF THE RAMP came out. For me personally, it was also the first time I saw the Pat Metheny Group at Montana State University. Sipping this wine takes me back to those times. Bordeaux reds have aromas of blackcurrant, plums, and wet gravel with medium-to-full body. The fruity notes of the wine, the musical journey, and seeing a tornado sweep create an unforgettable night.
