Disquiet 0397
My mother owned a dulcimer. Never played it.
The track starts out with a basic 808 beat. The second section of the track was created by manipulating the 808 output into a processed audio stream. The processed audio is then used as V/Oct input for the eventual synthesis by Mutable Instruments Rings.

Wikipedia - “Although the Appalachian dulcimer first appeared in the early 19th century among Scotch-Irish immigrant communities in the Appalachian Mountains, the instrument has no known precedent in Ireland or Scotland. Because of this, and a dearth of written records, the history of the Appalachian dulcimer has been, until fairly recently, largely speculative. Since 1980, more extensive research has traced the instrument’s development through several distinct periods, and likely origins in several similar European instruments: the Swedish hummel, the Norwegian langeleik, the German scheitholt, and the French épinette des Vosges.”
