OWhata

Need inspiration?  Check out these 3 creative endeavors:

Sea Organs Zabar: This is a set of stairs that descend into the coastline at Zabar, Croatia.  They have an internal tube system that permits the water’s organic flux to send sound thru the tubes and report out of harmonically crafted pipe holes along the walkway.  Check out the schematic below and visit this link to hear the sound it produces.  As well, you can purchase a 70 minute disc of the sound at the Sea Organs Zabar site (which is also a pretty unique website design.)

2. Blackpool High Tide Organ: 45 foot tall, concrete/zinc/copper/steel, and its internal structure contains eighteen organ pipes powered by 8 tubes that run directly into the sea.  Gorgeous structure.  Check out the Wikipedia article for more details.

3.San Francisco’s Wave Organ: A clandestine location along the eastern edge of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, this work of environmental art is best heard at high tide around 5am on Saturdays.
