We talked about how different countries music has an influence their culture and for some cultures their every day life. Not only was this class interesting and I learned a lot about other countries and their music, this class has brought an influence over my own musical writings. The first time that I realized this class was having an influence on my muisc was when we covered the Middle Eastern and Indian section. I did not find any challenges while doing this final project because the song came to me randomly one day.

I knew what droning was before but seeing it used in a different cultures music gave me some ideas of my own for my music. It made me think of ways I can use these musical ideas while using a guitar and a bass. George Harrison went to India to practice the sitar to infuse classical Indian music on the Beatles Sargent Pepper album. I thought of that when I was composing this melody with my bass. I wanted the song to be relaxing and make the listener feel like there are no worries in the world. To bring them to the sense of nirvana, almost to a state of meditation. So with the link below you can check out how this class influenced my music.
