Robert Dick has dispensed with preconceptions about what a flutist should sound like and what a flutist should play. A revolutionary composer, performer, and improviser, he has literally redefined the flute for our age. He began composing and improvising in the 1970s, driven by the core idea that acoustic instruments can be played as human-powered synthesizers, and by his love of continuous transformation of sound. Robert has performed and recorded with an extraordinary array of musical personalities, including Steve Lacy, John Zorn, Thomas Buckner, Roscoe Mitchell, Ursel Schlicht, Nicole Mitchell, Adam Caine, Nicola Hein, Dan Blake, Miya Masaoka, Joëlle Leandre, Mark Dresser, Gerry Hemingway, Dave Soldier, Ned Rothenberg, Christy Doran, Steve Argüelles and many more.
