Musician Jarbas Agnelli was reading the paper and noticed a flock of birds on electric wires. Inspired, he composed this tune from the placement of the birds.

Makes me think there’s a melody all around us… if we listen close enough to hear it.

Rock on! Kinda John Cage-esque, with a little more tonality.

As a pianist and all around music lover this is really cool. The title made me think it would just be listening to birds chirp, but this is a really interesting spin on music in nature.
