Birds on telephone wire create amazing music

[AeolianHarp]

What would happen if someone looked at birds perched on telephone wires and saw the birds as musical notes on the staff? Gabriel Agnelli has done just that and the result is magical!

Of course Beethoven got there before in the Pastoral symphony, but the composer who really took birdsong seriously was Messiaen - http://www.oliviermessiaen.org/birdsongs.html

A lovely sound produced from the positioning of the birds on the staff, but it's not actually taken from the notes of birdsong as in the Pastoral symphony or Messiaen.
I remember idly looking out my window one day and noticed pigeons all perched in the tree in perfect a clockwise position, almost looked like the Circle of fifths diagram.

Yes, this is something different- rather unique!

Maybe the pigeons were waiting to hear you play Piano!
