The Wave Organ in San Francisco, California, is an acoustic sculpture that harnesses the natural sounds of the ocean. Located on a jetty in the Marina District, the installation was created by artists Peter Richards and George Gonzales in 1986. It consists of a series of pipes and chambers that interact with the movement of the waves, producing musical notes and harmonies. The best time to experience the Wave Organ is during high tide, when the water's movement enhances the sound quality.
