seaOrganOf

Inspired by the Sea Organ of Zadar in Croatia — a sound installation that uses the tides to create surreal, organ-like sounds.

This project translates live NOAA tidal patterns into shifting musical compositions using Tone.js. Each soundscape is unique to the day, time, and coastal location.
