The Other Flute (september 1984),
explored extended techniques at the instrument on
Venturi Shadows (april 1989) and Worlds Of If (february 1994),
and applied them to a surreal kind of chamber music in the duets with violinist Mari Kimura of Irrefragable Dreams (august 1994).
After a few albums with Ned Rothenberg's New Winds, Dick also formed Tambastics (january 1992) with pianist Denman Maroney, bassist Mark Dresser and drummer Gerry Hemingway.

a collaboration with the Soldier String Quartet,
