  • 通过真实占卜与生成音乐结合,让易经成为有意义的创作框架
  • 用户提问后,系统生成对应解读并转化为音乐响应
  • 适合对东方哲学、互动艺术和生成音乐感兴趣的探索者

《易经》是中国思想史上最具影响力的经典之一,融合占卜、宇宙观与伦理反思。尽管西方实验音乐(如约翰·凯奇)曾将其作为随机机制的来源,但此类应用常剥离文本的形式机制与其解释和哲学意义之间的联系。本文提出的《变爻之音》是一个交互式系统,将易经重新置于意义承载的框架中,而非中立的随机工具。用户进行文王法掷铜钱占卜,系统实时以概率性音乐过程伴奏。生成的六十四卦与变爻由大型语言模型Gemini解读,并根据用户提问生成语义解释;该解释随后转化为提示词,输入生成音乐模型Lyria,产出响应式音乐实现。系统将AI定位为解释中介而非作曲主体,凸显易经的仪式性、解释过程与参与性作为核心声学素材。本研究拓展了计算机音乐中的过程驱动传统,展示生成式AI如何支持参与式、意义导向的音乐实践,而不预设音乐结构或取代人类能动性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The I-Ching is one of the most influential texts in Chinese intellectual history, integrating divination, cosmology, and ethical reflection. While Western experimental music, most notably John Cage, has drawn on the I-Ching as a source of chance operation, such appropriations have often detached its formal mechanisms from the interpretive and philosophical processes that give the text meaning. This work, Music of Changing Lines, presents an interactive system that re-centers the I-Ching as a meaning-bearing framework rather than a neutral randomizer. Users perform Wen Wang Fa coin casting, which is accompanied in real time through probabilistic musical processes. The resulting hexagrams and changing lines are interpreted by a large language model, Gemini, in relation to the user's inquiry. This textual interpretation is then translated into a prompt for a generative music model, Lyria, producing a responsive musical realization. By situating AI as an interpretive intermediary rather than a compositional authority, the system foregrounds the I-Ching's ritual, interpretation, and participation as the primary sonic materials. Music of Changing Lines extends process-driven traditions in computer music by demonstrating how generative AI can support participatory, meaning-driven musical processes without prescribing musical structure or replacing human agency.
