~ Open Your <0>,<0>s and Hear the Music ~
One morning while reading a newspaper, Jarbas saw a photograph of birds on an electric wire.
He cut out the photo and was inspired to make a song using the exact location of the birds as musical notes.
He sent the music to the photographer, Paulo Pinto, who told his editor, who told a reporter and the story ended up as an interview in the newspaper.
It ended up Winner of the YouTube Play Guggenheim Biennial Festival.

Curious to hear what melody the birds created. Just have a listen below at how incredible this sounds.
You can check out Jarbas Agnelli’s live presentation of Birds On The Wires

Kinda Cool ~ Old Pre Hawk Days ~ Run Run Run ~
Human history is filled with marvelous achievements. However the history of flight, in particular, is peppered with mishaps, failures and fatalities. In ­their­ efforts to understand the mechanics of flight, would-be inventors mostly tried to mimic the anatomy of birds.­

As Juan Caramuel y Lobkovitz (1606-1682) said ”God denied to men the faculty of flight so th­a­t they might lead a quiet and tran­quil life, for if they knew how to fly they would always be in perpetual danger.” Some of the attempts at flight are mythical and legendary; others are true stories with real documentation. Some were simple designs destined for loud thuds; others were complicated contraptions meant for equally chaotic crashes.

Before todays innovative TWEEKERS settled in... Us Normal Crazy Men & there Flying Machines were taken for granted, their inventors struggled to get them off the ground. Early railway systems and gas-powered vehicles were bumpy, uncomfortable and inefficient. For centuries the abacus was the only tool available for making calculations. Attempts at flight, meanwhile, were the most dangerous, since the point was maintaining control of a body or machine in the middle of the air, high above the ground.

More Will Be Revealed as The Story Still Unfolds ........... .e.Pun
