Lily and the Muse

You’ll love the idea behind this sweet video! This guy saw a photo of birds on wires and decided to play them as if they were notes of music, the results was this lovely little tune

Here is the blurb from the video’s Vimeo page if any of you would like to read more:

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).
