"tis an ill wind that blows no minds"

1805: Irish hydographer Franic Beaufort creates a standardised wind force scale of 13 classes by relating wind conditions to their effects on the sails of a frigate.
1916: with ships now powered by steam, the scale's descriptions are changed to describe the behaviour of the sea and conditions on land.
2021: The Wind Machine forms in order to finally realise the innate conceptual musical possibilities of the scale.

The Wind Machine (composed of members of the Cube Orchestra, its affiliates, and affiliates of its affiliates) has put together a very special windy show especially for the Cube's 23rd birthday. Expect to hear a full ship's crew of wind instruments, from the light wind of an ocarina to the gust of a harmonium, as we follow Beaufort up the scale from calm to hurricane.
