about

A booking at the Downtown Music Gallery is always a delight. The place is intimate, the performers surrounded by experimental music recordings of all types, and permission granted to do anything you think you can pull off.

It was the perfect venue for the introduction of this new trio. The unusual combination of flute, electric guitar and bass clarinet provide a wonderful sonic opportunity and these three seasoned new music improvisers prove to be quite up to the variety.- Explosive dynamic plunges to calm warm floats abound. The music is quite rich and very beautiful.

Robert Dick – “A flutist whose technical resources and imagination seem limitless.” – New York Times
-With deep roots in free improvisation, new jazz and classical music old and new, Robert Dick has established himself as an artist who has redefined the flute. He has utterly dispensed with preconceptions about what a flutist should sound like and what a flutist should play. He treats the flute as a human-powered synthesizer, his music going wherever his imagination and boundless chops flow to at any moment.
-Dick’s newest recording is “Flutes and Voices”, dous with baritone Thomas Buckner (Mutable Music17541-2). Dick has numerous solo recordings and has performed and recorded with New Winds, Tambastics, Oscura Luminosa, the Soldier String Quartet, the A.D.D. Trio, Paul Giger and Satoshi Takeishi, Jaron Lanier, Randy Raine-Reush and Barry Guy, Mari Kimura, Steve Gorn and many more of Europe and America's finest improvisors.
-Robert Dick (MM, Yale University) lives in New York City and teaches at NYU and the City University of NY Graduate Center. www.robertdick.net
