"Dulcitone Trip" is and was inspired heavily by an instrument called the "Dulcitone", a keyboard from Glasgow, Scotland from the 1860s that used Tuning forks to produce notes ( the meant that it was great at staying in tune and could be carried around the world easily) - I even read that the Dulcitone was a big influence for the Fender Rhodes. Regardless of its interesting history - its sound is absolutely beautiful - though normally you hear it playing old religious tunes and melodies. 

I started experimenting with its sounds - and tried to imagine what such an instrument might like to achieve if it were sentient and able in today's world. I used the DSI OB-6 heavily to create a sort of electronic futuristic backdrop on which the soft metallic melodies of the Dulcitone sits. I think I felt a sort of connection to the instrument whilst making this song - that somehow the Dulcitone was being set free to make its own choices and mistakes in life - a feeling we all experience. 
In the end - something quite different to my usual sounds resulted from this but emotionally at least - I felt connected to it. 

I hope you enjoy the sounds, and a little history of such a curious and beautiful sounding instrument from days gone.

Electronic producer d.notive has been at the forefront innovative sound design for well over a decade. Entranced by the lush and dynamic soundscapes of the 1980's, his aesthetic borrows heavily from the cinematic imagery of Neo-noir, classic alternative music, and of course synthpop.

Leveraging a rich, illustrious backdrop of classic synthesizers, his work includes countless pop songs and dance tracks, video game soundtracks, cartoon fan music, and film scores, drawing comparisons to artists like Depeche Mode, New Order, and Duran Duran.

His critically acclaimed album Sentinel has enjoyed consistent rotation thanks to synthwave outlets like NewRetroWave, with the first single "Red Light Syndrome" debuting at the #7 spot on their weekly charts. He has also been a regular collaborator with FiXT records, appearing alongside artists Cassetter, Fury Weekend, and Scandroid. Additionally, he maintains a close relationship with Funky Way Records (the official label of Funky Panda,) and Laserdiscs Records as a noted contributor to the original soundtrack for UK-based independent film "The Summoner." 

His signature vocal style even earned him a leading role in a short animation by Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss animator Vivienne "Vivziepop" Medrano.

"...d.notive’s music is all bound by an energy that is completely entrancing..."
