Transformative The resonances in the Digital Era: The Impact of Red Music Culture on Current AI-Aided Music Production and Education in China
Main Article Content
Abstract
This review explored the impact of the digital era and the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) on the production and education of "Red Music" culture in China. It examines the historical context, key characteristics, and cultural significance of red music, as well as the integration of AI in music creation, production, and education. The study highlights the challenges and opportunities presented by the intersection of red music and AI, including the preservation of cultural heritage, the modernization of traditional music forms, and the integration of AI-aided tools in music education. The document also discusses the role of the government and policy in supporting the development of AI-aided music production and education, as well as future trends and predictions in this field. The findings suggest that the combination of red music culture and AI technology has the potential to revolutionize the aesthetic ideology of both musicians and music learners in China.
