Today, the rapid development and continuous advancement of artificial intelligence in various industries are driving waves of technological reform, and the music industry is no exception. Technology is changing the methods and means of music creation, and a variety of new music creation software is emerging. This revolutionary change not only improves the efficiency of music creation, but also lowers barriers to entry and provides new opportunities for structural optimization and high-quality development in China's music industry. As a renowned Chinese singer-songwriter, ZHANG Yaqiong has made significant contributions to this intelligent transformation of music creation, with her technological research results having a profound impact on the future development of the industry.
As an experienced music creator, Ms. ZHANG Yaqiong has been deeply involved in the music industry for many years, has shown extraordinary creative talent, and has produced numerous popular songs that are popular with the audience and widely known in the Chinese music scene. In the context of rapid technological progress, ZHANG Yaqiong, with her extensive knowledge and experience in music creation, realized that the development of music creation is also inseparable from technology. Therefore, she did not limit herself to traditional music creation, but actively engaged in the research and practice of music technology, and strived to increase the efficiency of music creation and enrich the forms and content of musical works through technological innovation. In recent years, ZHANG Yaqiong has immersed herself in the innovative research and development of music creation technology and continuously made breakthrough achievements in the field of music technology. These include the “watermark algorithm copyright protection and authentication system based on digital audio signal”, the “melody MIDI accompaniment generation system based on deep neural network” and the “human-computer interactive digital instrument system based on neural network algorithm”.
ZHANG Yaqiong explained, “In traditional music creation, musicians have to invest a lot of time and effort in composing and editing music, often limited by their personal style and creative ability. Digital technology can support and optimize the music creation process through algorithms, models and data, making it more efficient and convenient, and enabling the creation of more personalized musical works.” ZHANG Yaqiong's independently developed technological achievements overcome the limitations of traditional music creation by integrating artificial intelligence into artistic creation, drawing on her many years of experience in music creation. Her achievements undoubtedly include the “Melody MIDI accompaniment generation system based on a deep neural network.”
“Melody MIDI Accompaniment Generation System Based on Deep Neural Network” uses deep neural network technology to learn from a large amount of accompaniment music and extract the characteristics and patterns of different musical styles to create an accompaniment creation model. The system has the powerful computing capabilities and data pattern recognition enabled by deep learning, so it can automatically generate high-quality accompaniments that match the input melody. This flexibility makes it suitable for a wide range of musical styles and creative needs, meeting the diverse requirements of creators and producing a rich variety of accompaniment works. Users only need to input a melody into the system, which will then analyze the melody and generate matching MIDI accompaniments in creative and diverse ways. In addition, the system provides editing functions that allow creators to adjust the style, tempo, instruments and other parameters of the generated accompaniments to create unique and rich musical works.
“Melody MIDI Accompaniment Generation System Based on Deep Neural Network” is not only a technological tool, but also represents a significant advancement for artificial intelligence in the field of music creation. This system reduces the tedious and repetitive work required to create accompaniments, giving music creators more time to focus on the core aspects of music creation. The diverse styles of accompaniments generated by the system expand the creative space for creators, provide sources of inspiration, and help produce music in different styles. The system has been well received by music production companies, and was quickly adopted in major projects of leading music companies after its release. It is reported that several musical works have been released using this system, with the quality and stylistic diversity of the accompaniments receiving unanimous praise from industry experts. A music technology expert remarked at the China Digital Music Industry Conference that “Melody MIDI Accompaniment Generation System Based on Deep Neural Network” represents a breakthrough in music technology. It has been shown to provide more development opportunities for music creators and production companies and to drive innovation and transformation in the music industry.
ZHANG Yaqiong is not only a leader in the music industry in technological innovation, but also has made remarkable achievements in academia. She has long been rooted in the forefront of music creation and has unique insights into the development of the music industry. In her research project “Research on Realizing the Value of Digital Music to the Culture and Art Industry in the Internet Age”, she combined extensive literature research with her practical experience. This work not only deeply examines the development direction of the digital music industry in the Internet age, but also provides strong theoretical support and guidance for the practice of digital music creation. Her paper “The Comparison of Traditional Composition and Electronic Music Composition in Concepts and Techniques” provides a detailed comparative analysis of traditional and electronic music composition. It provides music creators with an understanding and reflection on different styles and forms of music creation, and provides creative guidance and suggestions for electronic music composition.
Through a series of technological achievements and academic contributions, ZHANG Yaqiong has provided valuable experience and insights into technological innovation in the field of music creation. Her work has had a far-reaching impact on the music industry and infused new momentum into its development. ZHANG Yaqiong's efforts and achievements have profoundly influenced the direction of music technology development in the digital age and inspired more music creators to develop new methods of creation. With her continuous exploration and research, ZHANG Yaqiong's contributions will continue to open new chapters in music creation technology and drive progress and innovation in the industry.
