Dolulus was a solo project by Jean-Marie Tschanz and aimed at getting the utmost of a single yet high-tech "sound box": sound module Roland JV 1080.
It was programmed with Cubase 2.0 on Mac LC 630 between july 1995 and april 1998 (except for some minor corrections) . The project was split on 2 CDs released on january of 1999.

Three noticeable ingredients are the extensive use of what sounds like tuned LFO (cf "...Bienvenue" hereunder), flanged resonances played as notes (cf  "Bhôô" 1'01"-1'20"), and the use of programmed pitch-bending as way to work on sound colors and edit spicy solos / appoggiaturas. One can often find those features on later partly-programmed partly human-performed tracks involving Dolulus's programmer (cf Gnohgnuhgnlus and Improvs... ). 


Mostly nurtured by  all "major" prog + avant bands, and some classic orchestral work by 1998, this project went to places that could meet the avant / experimental niche tag policy.


Enjoy two photos: the place where Dolulus was all programmed and, almost done with soon-to-be-called Dolulus, Jean-Marie Tschanz on May 1th, 1998. 




On with the sound...

Experimental noise, sound collages... Avant or Prog Electronic? Will ask the PE Team for their thoughts.

No chance for avant, IMHO. PE may be his only island I guess.

Dolulus has now a successor called Gnohgnuhgnlus ("Gnohgnuhgnlus" sounds like someone very old trying to pronounce "Dolulus"). 

I find it tidier to have it linked to Dolulus as the same project since it's just another way to similar music , except that I don't think the team would call it "progressive electronic", since it has much fewer electronic sounds.

Should I prepare another bio for Gnohgnuhgnlus... or should the Dolulus page become Dolulus / Gnohgnuhgnlus progressive electronic / other tags – is now the point (isn't it ?... ).

Thanks again for the efforts in management.
