Global Copyright Exchange (GCX) by Rightsify, provider of a dataset licensing framework to developers, music and entertainment companies, and anyone looking to train generative artificial intelligence (AI) ethically, is rolling out Global Harmonies, an initiative to exponentially broaden the musical horizons of generative AI internationally. The company claims Global Harmonies will bridge gaps between local culture and global AI models by ethically providing high-quality audio of more than one-thousand unique international instruments. As a result, musicologists can produce rich datasets for large-scale AI model training, while GCX clients using Global Harmonies can create music that appeals to, and is representative of, specific audiences globally.

Rightsify founder Alex Bestall explains, “When we created Global Harmonies, we wanted to put together as much good data as possible and not limit our dataset offering to Western-centric music.” Global Harmonies’ platform includes data from more than 1,000 diverse instruments, all copyright compliant and ready for use in music models. Additionally, Global Harmonies collaborated with local performers to capture regionally significant sounds with high fidelity.

Bestall adds, “I’m thrilled at how almost every world instrument is represented in GCX’s and Rightsify’s datasets.” Some regions and their native instruments include:

Africa: djembe, kora, and balafon.
Americas: Native American flutes, marimba, and festejo.
Asia: sitar, erhu, and koto.
Europe: bagpipes, flamenco guitar, and balalaika.
Oceania: didjeridu and ukulele
The goal of GCX’s Global Harmonies is to generate music that will strike the perfect chord for any region. For more information, visit the GCX website.
