Balkan-esque tune from Canadian flute player

Written by Nicholas Williams and found on his recent recording The Whispering Woods. Although the first part could be transcribed in 4/4, the pattern of accents in the first and second measures suggest an alternate time signature. A fun tune to wrap your fingers around.
