    Say what you want about Disco, but these are elements you just don't hear in modern music anymore, and if so, RARELY. Big time string addict here - thank you!

      Idk there’s definitely been a large resurgence in disco popularity in recent years. It’s not in every mainstream song (though there are a few big ones) but disco/funk is huge.

      edit: now that i’m relistening to the Calvin Harris albums not that many disco strings on there lol

    A tip. Usually key switches are placed on the highest or lowest keys, however you don't have to. You can place your key switch on a "unused" key a semitone away from where you need to make the switch (make it silent) and play the switch key as a ghost note. This way the timing is easier and it frees up your other hand.

    I realize its all a joke to you but I love this stuff. You recreated the disco vibe that we had back in the 70's and early 80's except you are using modern tech and sampling files. But that riddle made me travel back in time to my youth. Funky! Thank you.

    I always have loved Disco Funk. The very best! In 1991 and 1992, when everybody was throwing them away, I bought a shitload of Disco vinyls at the flea markets, sometimes as cheap as 10 DM (5 Euro) for 20 discs haha

    One of the great masters of strings is Jeff Lynne (ELO/Traveling Wilburys), who successfully managed to fuse classical, rock, pop and disco in a tight cohesive package, and in doing so, pretty much set the gold standard.

    Question for the community, assuming many of you have been on this Earth longer than I have, and may be super savvy about music arrangement: If disco was invented in the US, what's the reason behind strings having been featured in disco songs? I've thought that was more of a European thing since I was a young kid. Just curious, especially when I began listening to music when more synth sounds predominated the scene as a 1983-born should.
    Thanks!!
