Dean Roberts

Dean Roberts has been played over 10 times on NTS, first on 26 March 2016. Dean Roberts's music has been featured on 11 episodes.

Dean Roberts (born 1975; died August 2024) was a New Zealand musician remembered for being a member of the trio Thela (with Rosy Parlane and Dion Workman) during the mid 1990s. After Thela disbanded, Roberts recorded three solo albums under the name White Winged Moth, followed by a series of releases under his own name.

Slow, often wrenching songs where the brush of a cymbal, a voice or a plucked string can have great impact. Through arrangement, processing and editing Dean Roberts has crafted out rock that presents listeners with familiar forms as it challenges them with oblique gestures. Improvisational and electronic strategies are ably utilized to push the dimensions of rock songs played by a group of people together in one room.

Along with Martin Brandlmayr and Werner Dafeldecker, Roberts was a member of experimental trio Autistic Daughters when he lived in Italy.

He also recorded with Eugene Chadbourne and Thurston Moore.

He graduated from Elam School of Fine Arts' Intermedia department and later taught time-based arts there.
