'Sea Organ' by Nikola Bašić (Zadar, Croatia)

Built in to the middle of the Croatian Adriatic coast, the Sea Organ (Croatian ‘Morske orgulje‘) was designed by architect Nikola Bašić and built by Dalmatian stone carvers. After the devastation of World War II, chaotic reconstruction transformed the sea front in to a giant, unbroken concrete wall. It remained that way until 2005, when an urban renewal project transformed the coast again.
At the end of the vast promenade, Bašić designed a 70 metre long stair case that descends in to the Adriatic sea. Underneath the steps are 35 organ pipes built in to subterranean tunnels. A column of air, pushed in turn by the waves, blows each organ pipe. The sound emerges above ground through labiums (whistles), which play 7 chords of 5 tones each.

I could not fall asleep last night.. clicking through apps I came across this, stared for 2 minutes listening, mesmerized, and then I awoke 7 hours later.

You were probably abducted by aliens.

[@kruegie5969]

Years ago I had a dream about something like this and then wrote about it in a story. When I saw that it was a reality I was just amazed and mesmerized. Someday I wish to travel there to see it in person. I find it hauntingly beautiful. Could listen to it all day.

[@AhPuchRecords]

Nice to connect dreams with reality ✌️✌️

[@ryanm7263]

You posted this 3 years ago. I hope you've made it to Zadar by now. If not, make it happen. Don't wait for "some day", just do it!

[@JaneFrieman]

The sound of this sea organ instills within me a sense of calm, mixed in with the serene movement of the waves.

[@AhPuchRecords]

Glad it makes you feel that way, Jane. You can stream/download an audio track from www.ahpuchecords.com.au if you want to take the sea organ with you wherever you go. Thanks for taking the time to comment :)

[@FreeFall3D]

+shiva1008 I had the same thought.. would suck to live there haha

[@Shiva108]

*****

[@AhPuchRecords]

The organ is in a non residential area, so doesn't bother anyone in that sense.

AhPuchRecords
thanks!

[@pierrejacottet2349]

l'idée est géniale, un peu comme un carillon de bambous qui chante dans le vent, mais ici c'est la mer qui fait chanter l'orgue!
J'ai l'impression d'entendre une musique comme celle du film "Rencontre du 3ème Type". Quelqu'un vous parle...

[@edwilliams9914]

Or there's the others of us who would love to sit right there and listen to it the rest of our lives. Maybe sell sausages and fish.

[@AhPuchRecords]

Now there's a business idea 💡

[@thesymphonyoflife3950]

This is what the ocean sounds like

[@AhPuchRecords]

...when it plays an organ...

[@michaelscott9995]

Chopin’s Nails Against the Chalkboard.. In E minor..

[@ElRonMaltan]

in a good way. Nails, variously applied upon surfaces other than Chalkboard, perhaps.

[@ShaZAM514]

Does it do any Billy Idol ??

[@AhPuchRecords]

It broke in to White Wedding just after this video finished.

[@frankgf536]

:O

[@Fakhrealammm]

The sound in not comfortable at all.

[@AhPuchRecords]

I found it very meditative when I was there. I went back and listened a few times while I was in Zadar. But each to his own.

[@heartblit]

sea e you...

[@AhPuchRecords]

I sea you too

[@youtobie9812]

[@weronikadxdxk5157]

hahaha. me too

[@adrianalvaro44]

a no ja

[@mariaszenczi3113]

Is this a perpetual occurrence? My dog is whining while this is playing, can't be a great sound for whales to hear ALL the time.

[@AhPuchRecords]

+Maria Szenczi
Yes, it's been playing continuously for 90,000+ hours. Whales are not are not native to the Adriatic coast, but it would be interesting to study the effect that it might have had on other marine life.

[@khaledatef6017]

is it just me or the voice is so annoying?

[@marwaabdelzaher5765]

Me also :'D

[@JeffMiletich]

Not as annoying as your comment.

[@AhPuchRecords]

Different strokes for different folks - some people are just ORGAN-ised differently, I guess ✌️✌️

[@raddderz]

where's the mute button

[@33neptun]

Sunny and calm day is mute button.
