As many artists call for AI Music to be restricted as it uses voices of musicians to generate songs without their permission, Grimes is taking one step further into developing the technology for her fans to use.
More recently, the electronic artist released a vocal project, which is currently in Beta, for her supporters to use and generate tracks.
According to Billboard, the Canadian star shared her website called Elf.Tech, which the outlet describes as an engine room for her artificial technology project.
Despite her first Twitter announcement about copyright rules, her current project has a clear IP, financial splits, and copyright rules for fans to use with limitations.
Grimes AI Music: Elf.Tech
As of this writing, the recently-published website has several acapellas of the musician that creators can use to make AI music and upload it on the platform.
In addition, there are also stems readily-available for download and the musician noted that they will add more in the future.
"Feel free to take advantage of Grimes IP! we can collect master recording royalties for you if choose to distribute your song through," she added.
Aside from being a website with various stems and acapella recordings, the outlet noted that it's also an aggregator and fans can use it to upload and distribute to DSPs with a price of $9.99 annually. For those who are interested, creators can submit request approval via email at grimesai@createsafe.io.
Grimes Elf.Tech Submissions
According to the official website, musicians and creators who will use the GrimesAI-1 voiceprint should agree to share an equal percentage of the master recording royalties distributed on major music platforms and onchain marketplaces.
There is also a disclaimer that says creators should have legal right to all elements of their recordings, except with GrimesAI-1 voice footprint.
The website strictly says that the singer, as well as CreateSafe, Inc., are not legally liable for creators that upload elements in their music that they don't legally own.
Grimes Approve of AI Music
The recent website launch comes after Grimes announced on Twitter "that she will split 50% royalties to those creators who will generate a successful AI song using her voice.
"Same deal as I would with any artist i collab with. Feel free to use my voice without penalty. I have no label and no legal bindings.
