   About The Beaufort Scale

The Beaufort Scale formed following a chance meeting at the legendary Big Chill Eclipse Festival at The Larmer Tree Gardens in 1999.

Inspired by a shared love of Ambient Electronica, Dub, Jazz, Funk, Electro and even Shoegaze; The Beaufort Scale produce carefully-crafted aural landscapes - fusing together rich layers of live instrumentation with electronica all held together with a liberal application of dub bass and found sound.

The Beaufort Scale's seminal chill-out track 'Sevastopol' attracted the attention of Pete Lawrence for his Big Chill compilation 'Take Me Home' and featured on 'The Chillout Lounge' compilation mixed by Ben Mynott, as well as on a limited 12" vinyl release.

Their current projects are a remix single 'Daytripper', to feature audio and video remixes by artists including The Irresistible Force and Dialog, and an album 'Forgotten Memories' which they will be looking to release later this year.

Welcome to the psychedelic re-revolution . .. .
You have awoken from living in monochrome to shards of colour flooding
into consciousness

from fear to love from war to peace from prisons of the mind to freedom of the soul . .all this is our birthright . .we are awaking from the toxic
imbalances caused by air drugs and food and the misuse of technology and the disconnection between humanity both with itself and with nature . . a fresh distrust for governments and corporations has fuelled this desire for freedom . .beyond the illusion cast by vested world media . . thus experimentation into self-empowerment has begun . . . a shift toward nature toward discovery of the inner dimensions toward unity not division. This is the new psychedelia. Music as seed music as discovery.
The SONIC SEEDS OF SUPERCONSCIOUSNESS . . . WELCOME !!
