Birds on a wire inspire music

A musician has proven he is quite the songbird by creating a composition inspired by a feathered flock perching on some telephone wires.

Jarbas Agnelli from Brazil spotted a picture of the birds in a newspaper 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.

He arranged his score using a xylophone, bassoon, oboe and clarinet.



Music made with Logic.
Video made with After Effects.
