"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.

Moving Parts

This song is filled with EDM and other electronic elements. Yet, the heart and soul of this song is about 'Emotionalism'. Yes, that's right. For this groove was inspired by false pathos. The quality in a work of art, literary work, or a real-life situation that evokes pity, sorrow, or sympathy. 

This groove is coming at you with 120 BPM in G-flat major. 

Enjoy!
