10.Sep.2009 Not to be confused with the crappy Goldie Hawn and Mel Gibson movie.
We found the story behind this video on Wired.Co.Uk. A musician named Jarbas Agnelli created this clip, and frankly we love it. It’s amazing how there is art in everything, whether it be in the form of music, print or performance. We’re a little out of our element here, but we would just like to state that this is simply beautiful. We know you expected something witty and sarcastic, but we do have a heart, too. Albeit, instead of blood, ours just pumps piss and vinegar, but it’s a trade off we’re willing to live with.
Jarbas included this info along with his video post, which was originally on Vimeo.Com:
“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. The newspaper story about my work (O Estado de São Paulo): tinyurl.com/l4qdbg.”
