Sea Organ

This learning scenario deals with the acoustical and musical solution to the newly built urban musical attraction in Zadar, Croatia, named 'Morske orgulje' ('Sea Organ'). Sea Organ is implanted into the stony stairy promenade alongside the seashore. The 35 organ pipes are built subterraneanly, into tunnels attached to the flank of a central service channel. Each organ pipe is blown by a column of air, pushed in turn by a column of wave-moved water, through a plastic tube immersed into the water. The added value of this learning scenario is the use of cross-curricular teaching and learning through connecting three school subjects: physics, geography and music.
