This is an old newspaper photo from 1967 and that is me with the trumpet. I am still a teenager at this time and this is the second band that I was a performer with. The first was a contemporary jazz fusion ensemble with mainly fathers of my school mates. I played trumpet until 1973 when I ditched it and took up playing flute. The beat goes on …

Reintroducing myself. My name is Denton and I am a retired musician and designer in Aotearoa. Most people call me Dent. Here is a photo from 1977 playing tenor sax with my band of that time. My new Korg PE1000 poly synth is lurking just behind me and represents my entry into keyboard and synth. The flute is hiding on the peg on my sax stand. This band was my main hustle while I was establishing my architectural design studio. More about that later. #musicstr #independentmusic #music #introductions #plebchain

Those who resist change eliminate all freedom of choice and become prisoners of their own fear. The society that eliminates all misery eliminates also all freedom of choice. It’s all about resolve. Life can be anything that you want as long as you want it enough to rough it out, take the risks and rise to the challenges. Happiness is an illusion. Happiness can only be obtained by contentment and that state is often just a condition of the mind. I you want to be happy then you must keep your expectations real. Stop dreaming and start doing. Sometimes to really experience the full nature of existence you need to step outside the Controlled Zone. ~ DeN+
