Robert Dick is one of the most prominent of the
generation of flutist-composers after World War
2 who extended the flute's musical language by
employing new techniques, such as multiphonics
and key noises, to make sounds not previously
considered musical. He has also enthusiastically
adopted flutes in large sizes or with innovative
mechanisms by flute makers such as Eva
Kingma to expand the range of sounds available.
Dick's influences come from jazz and eastern
musics as well as from experimentation with contemporary
techniques. As a flute virtuoso, composer, improviser,
and recording artist, as well as author of important
treatises on contemporary extended techniques
for flute-playing, he has had a widespread influence
in turn on new directions in flute-playing.
