ABSTRACT
This research crafts the concept of the Chinese Virtual Musicscape, exploring its unique characteristics and the relationships among its creative agents, such as composers, musicians, and sound technologists, to enhance the understanding and design of virtual musical environments rooted in Chinese culture. The definition of a Chinese Virtual Musicscape is a virtual musical activity shaped by creative agents through their interactions and active selections from the soundscape and cultural aesthetic elements. By exploring the concept of Chinese Virtual Musicscape, and offering a nuanced relationship between the creative agents, this research intends to contribute to the cultivation of virtual musical projects embedded within the Chinese cultural milieu, which the knowledge of this research could be applied as a guide to future interactive designs in Virtual Reality (VR).
