Every little thing carries an atmosphere about itself. Apathy or excitement, bitterness or sweetness, malfeasance or wholesomeness, staleness or freshness. And so does the music. It’s very much like the weather. Music sets the tone for an entire experience. It heats you up or chills you down. Just like the weather, it changes all the time perfectly registering on the scale from calm to storm. Concerned with the processes and phenomena of the sonic atmosphere, Isabeau Fort is a music meteorologist. She is a scientist who closely observes and thoroughly studies the atmospheric conditions for good vibes in the room, and a sorcerer who conjures the weather of emotions, creating a certain climate of feelings on and around the dance floor – all in the spectrum of fine ones. It’s all in the name of Isabeau who grew up on the shores of the North Sea, the land of ancient fishing villages: "Beaufort" is a scale that measures the intensity of wind in your sails from "just sufficient to give you steerage" to "that which no sails could withstand". Scaling in between Light Breeze and Fresh Gale, she is that wind – gentle, sometimes vigorous – that fills your sails, lifts you high, flies you far and brings you back intact, refreshed and enriched.
