My solo flute work would sound like a vox clamans in deserto.

Very nice. Is it 12tone? It's very nice and conversational, a very nice improvisational and modern tone, with no real scary bits. (I do like a much larger acoustic for solo flute though, just ideally,... but great recording anyhow!)

Ferneyhough, on the other hand, wow! :o, what is up with that writing? That makes me tired, haha!! I think my piece would be much...uh...lazier, haha!

I do like the flute solo in Xenakis's Cendrees (I think it's in Part 2 on YouTube), it's very jazzy for him, very 'cute',... perhaps one should separate and?...

You might not want to check out "La Terre est un Homme," then. It's the whole orchestra doing that type of stuff, meaning 70+ staves of that per page.
