You'll come face to face with something absolutely unusual right next to the sunset-'Salutation lovers to the Sun'. You'll have the chance to totally immerse yourself in the captivating melodies and magnificent sounds generated by the Sea Organ. The installation, which is framed by a stone stairway of beautifully carved concrete steps, is outfitted with underwater pipes that force yearning gusts of air through the system and, when submerged in water, broadcast a plethora of musical notes.
This structural arrangement provides a 'harmonica effect,' resulting in an internal symphony of relaxing tones. As ferries or boats pass by, the volume really rises. It doesn't strike you as very enthralling visually. However, if you take a seat on the stairs and listen carefully, you will become immersed in the sea's melody. And, on that point, you'll never hear the same sound twice. To say the least, the juxtaposition of the cold, concrete shoreline and the titillating tones of the sea creates a remarkable, unique experience.mIf you don't mind other people's talk and cheer, sunset is your next best bet.
