Exercise: Ideate ambience and music

Completed

Music is a powerful way to create the mood and atmosphere of your destination. It can also express your theme and personality. How about making a playlist that matches your vision? You can use songs from different genres, artists, and languages to craft your own soundtrack. Use Copilot in Bing to create your playlist.

Ideate

Ask Copilot to create a list of 10 songs that would be appropriate for your destination. Add any details or references to help guide Copilot. You're going to format this list as a table.

Tip

Get creative with directions. Add details to get more interesting results. Ask for one-hit wonders, indie artists, provide references to other soundtracks, or describe the vibe you are going for.

Steps:

  1. Copy the sample prompt and edit as desired.
  2. Paste the prompt into the chat.
  3. Take a screen capture of the table of songs it gave you, and save that image.

Sample prompt:

is called The Music. 
Can you create a table of 10 songs with the 
Artist and Song Name that 
would fit the theme of this destination? 

Sample response:
