This is a 10-minute excerpt from a psychedelic rock opera called "Über Wildemann and the Dandy" by Liam Wade. The instrumentation is piccolo/flute, viola (played with chopsticks) and percussion (mostly mallet percussion and beer bottles also played with chopsticks).

The piece by Scott Perry, Psycho-crypto-ornithology, is a sonic portrait of a peppy but reclusive bird that looks and sounds something like a pigeon-tucan-turkey-hawk. The landscape in which this bird dwells is mostly depicted by the viola and piccolo. However, it isn’t totally clear where the bird’s body-call-song begins and the synaesthetic description of its environment ends.
