It IS incredible. But nah, he plays a small amount of violin, and you can
tell because it's not very well-recorded or played. Most of the strings and
orchestral stuff is sampled.
This doesn't detract from how awesome the album is, though :) I think it's
great that he took the time to learn some violin and clarinet, and the beat
programming is as good as he's ever done, plus the other sampling and
compositional stuff is brilliant too.
