San Francisco's Wave Organ, a wave-activated acoustic sculpture, delights visitors with the sounds of the sea.
The Wave Organ, a wave-activated acoustic sculpture, delights visitors from around the world -- playing music described as "otherworldly and ethereal."On a jetty in San Francisco's Marina District, visitors can see iconic views of the Golden Gate Bridge, the downtown, and Pacific Heights. They can also listen to sounds of the sea made by the one-of-a-kind Wave Organ.
"I've never seen anything else like this, and I travel all around the world all the time," visitor Jen declares. "The Wave Organ responds to the waves at the high tide," Richards explains. "Waves are moving up the pipe. The air column is getting shorter and the pitches go up. And then as they pull back out, the pitch goes down."
"I'd call it a sound garden. It's not sexy, but that's what it is," Richards reveals. "It's a place to come listen and pick out the different sounds."
