In 1983 we purchased a copy of Peter Peryer’s Zoo Music. It came in an album of two photographs in an edition of 20. One image was of monkeys in the zoo and the other of birds on branches giving the effect of musical notes. Twenty-three years later Peter made a one note version of a bird on a wire called Kereru and yesterday we saw this musical metaphor brought to life. Brazilian filmmaker Jarbas Agnelli set a photograph of birds sitting on wires to music using the positioning of the birds to determine the notes of the score.
