This applies to the original version of Yeah Yeah Yeahs “Heads Will Roll”, not my remix… Vancouver’s DJ U-Tern found the plug-in preset that gave birth to that main string line. Check it out!

To me this doesn’t really discredit the song too much, it’s more of a “so that’s how they did it” moment. It’s funny how the actual note intervals were already mapped out though. I remember listening to that string part when I was working on my remix and wondering what they used to make it… Now the cat is out of the proverbial bag.
