Birds on the Wires from Jarbas Agnelli on Vimeo.
The photographer Paulo Pinto published this picture of birds on electric wires in a newspaper. Jarbas Agnelli made the association like many of us do that it looked like music notation. The difference is, he went about finding out what the music sounded like. Don't you wish you were one of those people who could play or just be looking could hear the music the birds formation are making?
The photo certainly does resemble the staff. It reminds me of a story my music teacher told me. There was a famous composer (the name escapes me, but he was one of the great masters) and someone asked him where he came up with the melodies for his compositions and he said the got them from the numbers on box cars. Number 1 would be C, number 5 would be G. Well, I'm sure you get the picture.
