Birds On The Wires

September 9, 2009 By Graham English

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.

      For the record, the video and music is by Jarbas Agnelli. Give him a shout.

      Yeah. I wish I had thought of it! It made one of Gizmodo’s top posts of the year I think.

    Just put 2 and 2 together and realized I’m currently in a class with Jarbas. How lucky am I?!
