New AI-Blockchain Venture Unveiled: KUKE and Naxos Team Up for Classical Music Industry's Innovation
In a groundbreaking collaboration, KUKE Music and Naxos Music Group have joined forces to create the Music LEGO Engine, an innovative platform designed to revolutionize the classical music sector. By combining AI, blockchain, and Real World Assets (RWA) technologies, the Music LEGO Engine aims to reshape the processes of music creation, rights verification, application, and value circulation.
The platform's unique selling point is its modular approach to classical music compositions. It breaks down these compositions into standardized, identifiable, and independently licensable musical components, such as melody fragments, harmonic structures, orchestration combinations, and performance styles. This modularization enables granular licensing, AI training, and advanced copyright monetization.
The integration of AI supports efficient collaboration between musicians and technology teams and powers future music creation and analysis tools. Blockchain technology, via the Naxos Music Platform (NMP), provides a secure, immutable ledger through which each musical module is assigned a unique NFT-based copyright certificate. This system enhances rights verification, traceability, and transparent, automated royalty and licensing distribution via smart contracts.
The inclusion of RWA refers to the packaging of these modular music copyrights as tokenized assets. This allows fans, investors, and creators to participate in a value-aligned ecosystem where revenue and ownership can be shared transparently. This novel financialization enables new forms of classical music monetization such as NFTs and copyright trading, fostering community engagement and sustainable revenue models.
In addition, the Music LEGO Engine plans to offer an open platform for creators to develop, share, and monetize their music assets. The initiative will deliver AI-powered composition tools for companies and independent musicians. Long-term objectives include expanding into AI-assisted orchestration.
The partnership between KUKE Music and Naxos Music Group brings significant global reach and content depth to the collaboration, with a catalog exceeding three million tracks and operations spanning over 100 countries. The project aims to advance modular asset monetization under a compliant RWA framework and provide a sustainable ecosystem for content creators and rights holders.
These developments are expected to provide new investment opportunities in music, reshaping the classical music industry and potentially expanding the modular music model beyond classical compositions into broader areas of the music industry. The Music LEGO Engine is set to launch on the Naxos Music Platform, a blockchain network dedicated to managing the licensing, valuation, and fractional investment of modular music assets.
