What about ‘The Sound Garden’ near Seattle? Designed by Dough Hollis, it’s also the source of the band name.

I’ve heard about the cave organ, it must have taken a really long time for them to find which stalactites emitted the precise pitches, that’s really wild.

My home town (Port Angeles, Washington) has a gigantic windchime down by our waterfront. I guess it coiuld be considered nature-inspired music, even though it makes more noise than music.

Am I the only one annoyed by sites that feature things that make music/noise/sounds but don’t have links to recordings made by those things? I would love to get a sample of the difference between the “tuned” wave organ in San Francisco and the one in Croatia, without having to travel there.

Also, the San Francisco sea organ uses “material taken from a demolished cemetery”; I’d love to hear more about that. I’ve heard of moving cemeteries before, but usually the headstones are moved as well. Demolishing a cemetery just sounds wrong.

On a random family vacation to Williamsburg, we stopped at Luray Caverns to hear the organ. It is pretty wild. Apparently they hold weddings down there quite frequently…cave weddings sound a little too outlandish for my taste but maybe I’m just too conservative.
