Music can be a very powerful thing. When I was creating Broken Strings, I really wanted to produce a song that featured a powerful melody with an epic drop. To get the feel I wanted, I began the song with a small string section playing a soft melody. As it approaches the drop, the percussion disappears and the strings play one last phrase before a powerful 808 hits and the strings are replaced with a cinematic drop.
