Hello!
Time for a little world tour ✈️
Write in a style or on a theme you associate with one of these random countries.
Don't overthink this.
The goal is to trigger your imagination.
Ultimately, what you come up with doesn't have to represent that country accurately.
Have fun !
I'll be listening to your work if you care to post it in the comments below ?

Pro tip: If you're feeling stuck or simply in the mood to travel, look up "country name + music" in your favorite search engine to learn more about the culture and music tradition of the countries that showed up.
Hi Joyce, heres my impression of Monaco (ala a James Bond Casino Royale which I watched recently) I slopped together. This thing was laying in pieces for a while and you gave me the incentive to redo some of the bass and brass so thanks for that! Still needs some work but Im sure its worth saving.
Thanks for these prompts. They help to get out of ones head during a very isolating time.
Cheers!

Nice! I love the fact that you revived a few old ideas you had lying around 🙂
My track for the Songwriting Prompt to write in a style or on a theme you associate with one of these random countries can be found here; https://soundcloud.com/jeff-van-beek/aroundtheworld/s-AKbijt544hp. I was looking to Africa for my influence.
Hey Jeff, I updated the link here because broken links hurt my website’s rankings in Google otherwise 😉
Nice work on this!
If you want to dig deeper, you could spend the day listening to a bunch of music from a specific country or region in Africa and try to figure out what makes it different from other types of music we often associate with the continent.
That is a great idea. I will definitely try to immerse myself into this music to gain a better understanding. I’m sorry about the broken links. I will do better.
Oh don’t worry about it! I was just mentioning it in case you wondered where your other comment went 😉
