CORPUS

A hand-drawn systems diagram titled “CORPUS – Data & Value Flow,” showing how musical data and economic value circulate within the CORPUS ecosystem. On the left, under “INPUT,” individual contributors (musicians, musicologists) and collective contributors (labels, archives, CTOs) provide music recordings and metadata, forming a “Diversity of Music” cloud. Their data is securely stored, verified, and scored for quantity, quality, and originality via CORPUS’s infrastructure, which includes secure servers in Germany and contributor dashboards. At the center, a glowing “MUSIC LIBRARY” represents the core dataset, connected to exploration and research tools. From there, legally compliant, rights-secure data flows to technology developers and licensees, who use it to train generative models. On the right, under “OUTPUT,” these models power “NEW AUDIO EXPERIENCES” across industries — healthcare, automotive, robotics, art, music, and games — producing adaptive and interactive music that is individualized, situationally adaptive, and meaningful. Below, a feedback loop shows royalties and net revenue returning to contributors and investors, supporting reinvestment and governance. A “NEW PARADIGM” section emphasizes the transparent measurement and valuation of creative input relative to the existing corpus. Overall, the diagram visualizes CORPUS as a closed, fair, and self-sustaining ecosystem linking artists, rights holders, and AI developers through ethical data, verified ownership, and shared economic benefit.
From Music Licensing to Music Infrastructure

CORPUS is a platform and licensing protocol that enables music creators to participate in the current technological and cultural revolution. It combines a marketplace for musical works with a new licensing system that provides the legal and economic infrastructure for music to be integrated into intelligent systems.

Generative music AI today faces a deadlock: most models are trained either on unlicensed internet data, which cannot be commercialized, or on full catalogue buy-outs that are financially unsustainable and exclude artists from participation. CORPUS resolves this conflict by introducing a dynamic licensing and royalty system that connects rights holders, developers, and industry partners through a shared, rights-verified music library.

Contributors keep their rights and receive royalties from model revenues, based on a transparent evaluation of contribution quantity, quality, and originality, relative to the existing library. Within this system, originality becomes a source of value — not because it is rare or fashionable, but because musical diversity strengthens the models trained on it, making them more capable, adaptable, and expressive.

For companies, CORPUS provides a compliant, scalable, and cost-efficient alternative to both scraping and buy-outs.

But its role goes beyond licensing. CORPUS enables the music industry to claim the next market before it forms – a new layer of global music demand where billions of devices, applications, and environments will require lawful, adaptive sound models. By aligning artistic and industrial interests, CORPUS turns this transition into an opportunity, establishing the foundation for a sustainable and legally sound Music–AI economy.
