Birds On The Wires
Jarbas Agnelli spotted a picture of the birds in a newspaper, perched on some telephone wires, and noticed they were arranged like notes on a musical score.
He cut out the photo and decided to make a song, using the exact location of the birds as notes.
Check out the video below to hear the music created by a photo of birds on the wires.
Birds on the Wires
Reading a newspaper, I saw a picture of birds on the electric wires. I cut out the photo and decided to make a song, using the exact location of the birds as notes (no Photoshop edit). I knew it wasn’t the most original idea in the universe. I was just curious to hear what melody the birds were creating.
I sent the music to the photographer, Paulo Pinto, who I Googled on the internet. He told his editor, who told a reporter and the story ended up as an interview in the very same newspaper.
Here I’ve posted a short video made with the photo, the music and the score (composed by the birds).
