I can’t even play guitar
But these nom-ably adorable zebra finches can – all thanks to a new art installation by French composer Celeste Boursier-Mougenot (website non-existent.)
Running at London’s Barbican Centre – and titled “Birds” – this sound experience asks the audience to walk through a curved room filled with forty free-wheeling finches, Les Paul guitars and cymbals filled with bird seed. The amateur musicians flit and flutter from space to space, making frenetic soundscapes worthy of the best experimental musicians.
Enjoy this video as much as I enjoyed the BBC America report over coffee and email this morning.
