As a person who regards Harbin as his second hometown, Tang Muhai said that Harbin established China's first official symphony orchestra a hundred years ago, and has a place in China's cultural history.

Sports + Music + AI Technology
Theme song and theme song to achieve "world integration"
At the beginning of the theme event, the Harbin Symphony Orchestra will play the repertoire "Ice and Snow Asia". This song expresses the positive enthusiasm and broad-mindedness of Harbin in order to welcome the Asian Winter Games. Its creator, Zhu Bin, a national first-class composer, introduced.
This creation is an "intense" fusion of sports and music. "The whole repertoire is very exciting, very enthusiastic, because the theme is very distinct, it is related to sports, and it has a strong Asian Games symbol. At the same time, Zhu Bin said that this piece is not only dedicated to the Asian Winter Games, but also to take this grand event as an opportunity to show the depth and thickness of our Harbin music.
At this theme event, the theme song "One Heart and One Dream" composed by Liu Qiao, vice chairman of the Heilongjiang Musicians Association, is believed to be a sight to behold.
"In this creation, we have introduced the application of artificial intelligence. Liu Qiao introduced, "The creation of this song is through the collision of ideas between the director team and the producer, and the concept of this song is full of vitality and sports spirit, and it is the creative concept of a community with a shared future for mankind, and it is a repertoire that integrates a variety of music styles in the world." ”
In addition, the biggest highlight of this song is the application of artificial intelligence AI technology. "We spent 3 months writing this song, and AI technology played a huge role. In the prefabrication of human voices, we use different countries, different languages, and different pronunciation methods, and we write the code after sampling, and use AI technology to complete the final chorus," Liu Qiao said.
I believe that through these songs and songs, we can express that Harbin is a very open and tolerant cultural heritage.
