70 Zebrafinken spielen E-Gitarren

Im Montreal Museum of Fine Arts hat man im Jahr 2015 eine Gitarreninstallation aufgebaut, die 70 Zebrafinken dazu animieren wollte, auf E- und Bassgitarren Sound zu machen – und das hat geklappt. Ich mag diese Idee sehr.

A living musical exhibit at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts will set 70 zebra finches loose in an aviary, and the only perches are the strings of 14 electric guitars and bass guitars.

When the birds land, they create music that’s played through amplifiers stationed around the aviary.

French artist Céleste Boursier-Mougenot calls it living music, inspired by a memory from his childhood.

„Looking through the window, my feeling was that I want to make music from these birds on the wire, and 30 years later I did this,“ he said.

Gefängnisausbruch eines Hamsters

„Scorpion maze with Traps for Hamsters. Today’s story is sure to be very dynamic.
Above is Mr Hamster, he was imprisoned. The hamster police ignored him, he broke the toilet, escaped several dangerous traps and ran away. Mr Humster was quick, brave and lucky. The Hamster police could not catch him.“

Wie klingen eigentlich Biber beim Fressen?

Offenbar ziemlich genau so:

This summer I followed a family of beavers in a local beaver pond in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The adult beavers became very used to me, and as a result, I was often allowed to sit very close to them while they ate. This video is a compilation of several times that I filmed the adult beavers eating from up close. The sound they make chewing bark, twigs, and leaves is remarkable and fun.
