The Sea Organ and Greeting to the Sun from Zadar, Croatia

A sound art object and experimental musical instrument that creates lovely chimed tunes using only the rolling power of sea waves.

The installation looks like a series of broad steps leading down into the sea hiding clever engineering beneath their surface.

Nikola Bašić, a renowned architect, has devised an ingenious system of resonant chambers that produces syncopated ever-changing tunes which soothe and excite the minds of countless amazed visitors as they chill and linger on the Riva for hours just to hear that dreamlike sound once again before they leave.
