Sea Organ

Listen to Zadar’s Sea Organ — You hear the ethereal sounds of the Sea Organ on the seafront at Zadar long before you realise you’re standing on it. No conventional organ, the creation of local installation artist Nikola Bašić is powered by the strength and pattern of the waves, strange noises emitted from rows of boreholes in the concrete. Being flat, smooth and lapped by the Adriatic, the pavement almost begs you to lie down and let the other-worldly tones wash over you. Bašić was also responsible for the ‘Greeting To The Sun’ nearby, a ring of glass panels that follows similar rhythms.
