Though trap music is inherently mysterious and brooding, the right strings add a dash of mysticism, of magic. Combining elements of orchestral arrangements with modern processing techniques, the textures and tones of instruments like the dulcimer, ukulele, harp, qanun, guzheng, and shamisen will add intentional complexity to your trap productions. 

We recorded melodies with these instruments, then chopped them up into loops and one-shots. We didn't stop there. We stacked, processed, resampled the original melodies to evoke quantum entanglement of hazy temple scenes.
