Birds on the Wires

Chris — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 02:21:54 +0000

Some artistic inspiration from unorthodox sources:

Birds on the Wires from Jarbas Agnelli on Vimeo.

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.

This is a lovely bit of storytelling in a somewhat unique medium.

Röyksopp – What Else Is There?

Chris — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 01:45:46 +0000

I just discovered this song, have it stuck in my head all weekend:

What Else Is There? from Röyksopp on Vimeo.

I suspect that “flashlights and explosions” maybe should have been “lightning and thunder” but its still a great song.

And yeah, years behind but hey what can I say?
