Birds on the Wires
3 months ago
Also check my live presentation of Birds on the Wires at TEDx São Paulo: tedxsaopaulo.com.br/jarbas-agnelli/
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).
Music made with Logic.
Video made with After Effects.
An interview about this and other works: biginterview.org/

"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.)
