Recent research reveals that our senses are more interconnected than previously thought with sound and colour are now known to enhance our perception, understanding and enjoyment of flavour.This interconnectedness between naturally occurring flavours and corresponding sound and light frequencies is explored in UNEXPECTED CONNECTIONS, a unique 4-way pairing of exquisite food, drinks, music and light.

Harmonising & contemporary soundscapes are bought to life with dynamic lighting that accompanies each course, evoking changing moods and sensations throughout the experience. From the deep, atmospheric red lighting and low sonic frequencies that resonate with strong, rich and earthy flavours through to the shimmering high notes, rising crescendos and vibrant violet lighting that bring sweet flavour notes alive, UNEXPECTED CONNECTIONS is a sensory kaleidoscope embracing the full spectrum of taste, sound and colour frequencies.
