He's an interesting player who has performed in a lot of avant-garde contexts and plays a wide gamut of flutes.

The only disc I have of his as a leader is Worlds of If on Leo, which may in fact be OOP. It's mostly solo, with some overdubbed pieces and a duet with Ned Rothenberg. I recommend it, particularly the rumbling bass flute he plays on the opening track.

from hearing this gamelin piece, i was very much surprised to learn that he is not japanese.

That would be Third Stone from the Sun, where he performs with the Soldier String Quartet.

I don't have any of his recordings, but I know that in flute circles Robert Dick is considered to be a master and innovator of "extended techniques". He's able to make all kinds of sounds on the flute that completely confound more traditional players.
