We all love to listen to beautiful music, no matter how it is made or who plays it. Music is something that resonates with everyone. Are you sad about something that happened? Listen to music that will cheer you up. Are you angry at someone? There are songs that will help diffuse your anger. Do you want to dance? Jump up and put some crazy hip-hop music on, and then dance the night away in ecstasy. No matter what type of music you like, there is always something for everyone to enjoy.

Listening to soft, haunting music is also a way to relax and unwind. The gentle notes of relaxing music will make anyone close their eyes and drift away. That is why so many people enjoy classical music – they love the soft melodies and harmonies that this genre of music offers.

However, it isn’t often that you get to hear music that is man-made but also due to the elements around us. This is the case for those who get to hear the 230-foot-sea-organ that is located in Croatia. The organ collaborates with the actual waters of the Adriatic Sea and the energy of the winds to create an amazing tune. While the music is totally random, it is also soothing and melodic.

The sea-organ is known as a “morske orgulje” in Croatian. It was designed by Nikola Basic, a Croatian architect. It was opened up to the public in 2005. Since then, thousands of people have flocked to hear the haunting melody the sea-organ gives off.

 The sea-organ works with the water and the wind. As the two enter through the holes at the very bottom of the steps they become channeled into the resonating chambers. From there, these sounds are passed through the chambers into the holes that can be found at the highest steps.

The site where the sea-organ sits is now very popular for locals and tourists alike, but this was not always the case. The area was completely destroyed during World War II. After it was reconstructed, ugly concrete constructions were left along the shoreline. Luckily, the sea-organ made the area look much better.

If you are ready to hear the sea-organ for yourself, listen closely below:
