Unearthing Zadar’s Unique Sounds with GSM

In Zadar, Croatia, where ancient history meets vibrant modernity, the Global Sound Movement (GSM) embarked on a mission to capture the city’s unique soundscapes. From the iconic melodies of the Sea Organ—where waves create harmonic tones—to the lively chatter of markets, church bells, and Adriatic waves, Zadar’s sonic identity is a living symphony.

Recording these sounds wasn’t without challenges; balancing urban noise with natural rhythms required patience. Yet, these moments birthed unexpected magic—like the laughter of passing families or the rustle of olive groves.
