Mills College via Wikipedia
Continuing my musical history tour of Bay Area higher education, the Internet Archive has a stream of Robert Ashley's opera That Morning Thing, from Mills College in 1969:

Robert Ashley specifically, this historic recording of one of his
earliest and perhaps lesser known works should be of immense interest

Three minutes in and I'm perplexed -- are those supposed to be duck sounds? -- but will withhold judgment for the next eighty eight minutes.
Update: It's partly funky, partly disturbing and no, those weren't ducks.
