seaOrgan

The seaOrgan web app is inspired by the Sea Organ of Zadarin Croatia, a sound installation that uses the tides to create surreal, organ-like sounds.

This project creates an immersive audio experience by translating NOAA's tides & currents data into notes played in sequence using Tone.js. Each soundscape is specific to the individual day and location.
