30. Birds on the Wires
2 years ago
Winner of the YouTube Play Guggenheim Biennial Festival.
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).
Also check my live presentation of Birds on the Wires at TEDx São Paulo: tedxsaopaulo.com.br/jarbas-agnelli/
Music made with Logic.
Video made with After Effects.

"Not the most original idea in the universe, but I was curious to hear what melody the birds were creating".
The idea may not be original, few ideas are...but to bring an idea to life...that's a story that very few people can tell...and you my friend are an Amazing Storyteller & a Creative Force!!!
God Job
Thanks for posting.
A sample: "We'll I'm the lucky goon/Who composed this tune/from birds arranged on the high wire"
Very creative and beautiful. Wish I saw the world the way you do. Thank you for sharing. (Also am one of those people who just joined vimeo to congratulate you.)
