What’s the story behind this video? Here it is, straight from the producer, Jarbas Agnelli from Brazil: “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.” You can get more details here.

Back in the 50s, Steve Allen did this. He’d play the notes represented by the birds and build a song around this theme. Great stuff but I can’t find a video of it.
