It was many many moons ago that I came upon the man that is named Bird, looks like a bird, and sounds like a bird. Where was I when this event was announced? The date took place in Long Beach, CA; a location that is approximately 20 minutes from where I live. Regardless I am pleased to see that he made it to TED Talks.
TED TALK Description:
Musical innovator Andrew Bird winds together his trademark violin
technique with xylophone, vocals and sophisticated electronic looping.
Add in his uncanny ability to whistle anything, and he becomes a
riveting one-man orchestra.
TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of
the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the
world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18
minutes. Featured speakers have included Al Gore on climate change,
Philippe Starck on design, Jill Bolte Taylor on observing her own
stroke, Nicholas Negroponte on One Laptop per Child, Jane Goodall on
chimpanzees, Bill Gates on malaria and mosquitoes, Pattie Maes on the
"Sixth Sense" wearable tech, and "Lost" producer JJ Abrams on the allure
of mystery. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, and
TEDTalks cover these topics as well as science, business, development
and the arts. Closed captions and translated subtitles in a variety of
languages are now available on TED.com.
