On the evening of May 31, as the final note of Azure Blue faded from pipa virtuoso Yu Bing's fingertips, the Grand Theater of the Zhongshan Culture & Art Center fell silent for a few moments before erupting into thunderous applause.
As China's first AI-composed Chinese music concert, Zero/One: Colors of China featured 9 color-themed musical pieces to complete a digital deconstruction and reconstruction of China's aesthetic DNA.
This musical experiment between the Shanghai Chinese Orchestra and Tencent Music Entertainment Group's LYRA Lab premiered at the 39th Shanghai Spring International Music Festival.
The concert utilizes an AI composition system to generate diverse musical emotions. Through 9 original pieces, which are interpreted and reimagined by performers, poetic colors are translated into a contemporary musical language that resonates with modern auditory aesthetics.
