It was originally recorded in the studio but can also be performed live with the accompanying CD. The track incorporates processed flutes, guitars, samples, and drums. The music includes some extended techniques. Pre-publication performances have taken place across three continents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike many of my other works, the title does not have a specific meaning and serves as a space for the listener\/performer to bring their own thoughts. The markings within the music itself hold more significance. Apart from that, there is no intentional programmatic, literary, or external element. The title, “T R K s,” was chosen by Simon and Ian in the studio as a reference to trill keys, not tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eComposer\/Flautist-Ian Clarke\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-grow flex-col gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"min-h-[20px] flex flex-col items-start gap-4 whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIan Clarke (born 1964) is an esteemed flautist and composer, regularly invited as a guest soloist and instructor at major conventions worldwide.
