Music Score of birds on a wire

Birds on the Wires from Jarbas Agnelli on Vimeo.

A Brazilian musician has just completed a collaboration with an unusual partner: a large group of birds sitting on telephone wires. News.com reports.

According to the Daily Mail, Jarbas Agnelli saw a newspaper photo of a large flock of black birds sitting on the wires and recognized that their configuration looked very much like a musical score.

Starting from there, he arranged and recorded a composition, using xylophone, bassoon, oboe and clarinet and, of course, the notes laid out by the birds.
