You can read more about MusicAIRE on their website, and here is the abstract of the project we're doing:

The royalty statements that creators receive contain many flaws and are nearly impossible to understand, resulting in very few people being able to use them to their advantage. This is where FXR comes in. Using machine learning, custom algorithms and common sense, we process and harmonise these files and other relevant data, offering users much needed tools and insights to overcome the existing data barrier.

Our MusicAIRE project consists of two parts:

1. We want to work closely with local creator and managers’ societies in NL, DE,

SE, FR and BE, providing ten creators per country free access to our (beta) portal for six months. Participants will be able to upload their personal performance, mechanical and neighbouring rights statements and use our tools to get valuable insights into their payments.

2. At the end of this process, we will create an anonymised dataset from the uploaded statements in order to research and compare how royalty data is being handled by EU collecting societies. While the music industry’s data problem has been written about extensively, we believe that with our technology we can provide a practical and novel perspective. This part of the project will be done in collaboration with music journalist Chris Cooke, and our findings and recommendations will be published in an online whitepaper.

With this project, we aim to raise awareness among creators, managers, and collecting societies about the status quo of music royalty data handling. Our recommendations aim to incite change at the EU-level, and ultimately to create a fairer music ecosystem. Given that music creators have been among the hardest hit by the COVID-19 crisis, this is now more relevant than ever.
