Birds on The Wires

Birds on The Wires

Dream-Like Song
Created From Birds Perched On Electric Wires

Proves Nature is Creative

We all know birds sing, 
but writing music?

"Reading the newspaper one morning, I saw this picture of birds on the electric wires," says video creator Jarbas Agnelli."I cut out the photo and decided to make a song, using the exact location of the birds as notes. I was just curious to hear what melody the birds were creating."

Interpreting the position of birds as musical notes resulted in the beautiful piece you hear above. The work was made over an original photo shot by Paulo Pinto and published in 2009 in a Brazilian newspaper "O Estado de São Paulo."

I've made this short video to demonstrate my interpretation of the birds as notes.
Music made with Logic.
Video made with After Effects.

Since it's in C, and most of the notes are pentatonic (except for a few F notes), it's not really surprising that this sounds good. It doesn't show that nature is perfect, rather that man is creative.

Especially with the opportunity the composer took to time each note to two-quarter-time measures... creative; and in this case, technically adept...
