Back in 2009, Paulo Pinto took a photo that was published in  Brazilian newspaper, O Estado de São Paulo, and today it is getting the ultimate face-lift

Jarbas Agnelli stumbled across that very picture one morning and had a revelation; to play the very musical notes of which the birds were representative of while perched on wires.

Naturally, you would assume that the outcome would be a jumbled mess, but the end melody is actually quite pleasing.

Reading the newspaper one morning, I saw this 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. I was just curious to hear what melody the birds were creating. I just erased the birds for effect at the end, but didn’t change their positions at all. What would be the point? – Jarbas Agnelli
