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.
