Where melody never repeats itself

Estonia’s giant wooden megaphone that lets you listen to the forest looks pretty soothing, but Croatia’s giant organ that uses the sea to make music is next level.

Where melody never repeats itself


Christopher Hooton

Estonia’s giant wooden megaphone that lets you listen to the forest looks pretty soothing, but Croatia’s giant organ that uses the sea to make music is next level.

Designed by architect Nikola Basic, the sea organ, or “morske orgulje”, is a series of steps with holes in that lead to resonating chambers.

Water rushes in the holes, creating an endlessly random and very haunting melody.

Producing sounds a lot like those of a whale, the sea organ has become a popular lunch spot for locals and tourists since it was built in 2005, a calming place at which to appreciate the majesty of nature.

The organ is a significant improvement to the Zadar coastline in Croatia, which was previously a long line of concrete having been bombed during World War II.
