This book offers an innovative exploration of creativity across music, performance, and digital arts, bridging tradition with technology and cultural theory. It approaches the subject through interdisciplinary lenses—combining music analysis, feminist critique, computational creativity, and cultural identity studies—to reveal how artistic practices evolve in response to global and technological shifts. What sets this book apart is its integration of diverse methodologies: from teleological analysis of post-tonal composition and feminist interpretation in Chinese opera, to digital fabrication of folk instruments and AI-driven animation design. These chapters collectively demonstrate how traditional aesthetics negotiate with modernity, and how technology can preserve, transform, and project cultural narratives. The scope spans musicology, performance studies, digital media, and cultural theory, making it ideal for scholars, educators, and advanced students in the arts and humanities. Readers gain insights into cross-cultural synthesis, algorithmic creativity, and the structural dynamics of contemporary composition.
