Sea Organ - a WONDERFULSOUND Field Recording - Nikola Basic’s Sea Organ at Zadar, Croatia, recorded by The Superimposers’ Miles Copeland
The sounds perfectly preserved on this disc were recorded by Miles Copeland on a visit to Croatia whilst DJing and performing with his band The Superimposers at a music festival on the Adriatic Coast. A friend recommended he make the short journey to the city of Zadar and visit the Sea Organ.
The Sea Organ turned out to be a 70 metre sound installation by architect Nikola Basic, conceived as part of a project to redesign the coast after the devastation Zadar suffered in World War 2. Open to the public in 2005, the Sea Organ is implanted into the marble steps of the harbour walls. It has 35 organ pipes, which are played by the pressure of the tidal waves lapping air through tuned tubes. The resulting sound wholly depends on the character of the sea affected by weather conditions or harbour traffic, whose ripples create random harmonics and musical chords. 7 successive groups of pipes are tuned to 2 musically cognate chords of the diatonic major scale. Tones and chords are played to create the music as heard on this recording.
The end result is a totally random, occasionally aggressive and sometimes soothing performance, which is, of course, played constantly. Miles returned to the giant Sea Organ that weekend numerous times and made these recordings.

Si quieres escuchar el mar, visita Croacia
O al menos, la ciudad de Zadar, porque allí es donde el arquitecto croata Nikola Basic instaló en 2005 este instrumento musical que “traduce” las olas del mar en sonidos. Morse Orgulje, el órgano majestuoso, está construido mediante canales conectados en 35 tubos unidos a su vez a diferentes cadenas musicales, que suena de una forma u otra dependiendo de la forma en la que las olas impacten contra ellos. Un incentivo más para visitar Croacia, especialmente para los amantes de la música. Puedes escuchar una de las melodías creadas por este órgano que huele a sal.

Sea Organ (Zadar)
Absolutely mesmerizing piece- Morske Orgulie, or the Sea Organ, by architect Nikola Bašić. Where the waves from the sea crash against the shore of Zadar Croatia, a meditative and harmonic sound is released as the water moves its way up a series of channels that connect to organ pipes, each with its own musical chord.

Zadar, The Sun Salutation, Nikola Bašić, 2005
It is constructed from three hundred photo-voltaic glass plates that light up as the sun descends on the horizon, illuminating the night with dancing patterns of lights. The solar energy of the sun powers the project as well as the surrounding waterfront area where it is housed.
