MUSIC
MADE BY
HUMANS.

TrackOrigin verifies the human creative origin of a finished master — before it disappears into feeds, catalogues and synthetic noise. The proof travels with the work.

[ THE PRINCIPLE ]
The new standard is not guessing whether a finished file sounds human. It is verifying the human origin before the file disappears into the machine.

[ §01 — THE PROCESS ]

HOW IT WORKS.

End to end, most artists complete verification in well under fifteen minutes. The live session itself runs sixty to one hundred and twenty seconds.

  1. 01
    UPLOAD

    Upload the finished master.

    WAV, FLAC or AIFF. TrackOrigin fingerprints the audio and extracts track-specific context: structure, tempo, key, vocal and instrumental evidence.

  2. 02
    DECLARE

    Declare the creative process.

    Your role, instruments, DAW, tools, collaborators, AI use and session context. Not marketing copy. A creation statement tied to the exact master.

  3. 03
    DEMONSTRATE

    Demonstrate authorship live.

    Sing, hum, play, explain, show project context or answer track-specific prompts. The test is the human relationship to the work, not the audio alone.

  4. 04
    VERIFY

    Get the Origin Seal.

    A public Origin Seal, certificate and Ed25519-signed manifest bound to the track's audio hash, verdict and declared creation process.

[ §02 — THE DELIVERABLE ]

THE ORIGIN SEAL.

The Origin Seal is the public mark for a verified human creative origin. It is not a static badge or a watermark — it is a live, signed provenance signal connected to a certificate, a manifest and the exact audio master.

  • Ed25519-signed verification manifest
  • Audio fingerprint bound to the finished master
  • Witnessed session log and liveness checks
  • Public certificate page for the track
  • AI disclosure attached to the certificate
  • Tamper-evident, auditable and revocable status

[ §03 — WHAT YOU SHIP WITH ]

THREE ARTEFACTS.
ONE MASTER.

Every verified track ships with a public certificate page, a signed JSON manifest, and an embed badge that platforms paste anywhere. Bound to one audio hash. Always traceable back to the master.

[ §04 — WHY THIS EXISTS ]

THE FEED HAS CHANGED.
THE PROOF HAS TO TRAVEL.

Music is biological before it's metadata — voice, rhythm and timing sit deep in how humans recognise one another. But when synthetic tracks arrive by the tens of thousands every day, “just listen to it” stops being a serious standard. Provenance has to travel with the music.

FULLY AI-GENERATED TRACKS REPORTED BY DEEZER, APRIL 2026

The feed is being flooded.

Scale breaks trust. At this volume, the audience can't manually inspect what they hear. Provenance has to be attached at the file, before any dispute starts.

AI TRACKS REPORTED ENTERING DEEZER PER MONTH

Your track will sit next to two million.

That's the catalogue your finished master enters this month. Without a verified mark, your work and an AI bedroom batch look the same to the algorithm.

FAILED TO CORRECTLY IDENTIFY FULLY AI MUSIC IN A DEEZER/IPSOS BLIND TEST

Listeners cannot be the detector.

If people cannot reliably hear the difference, human craft needs evidence outside the finished file — a real person, a real process and a signed record.

[ §05 — WHY SOUND MATTERS ]

MUSIC IS BIOLOGICAL
BEFORE IT IS METADATA.

Sound was a mammalian trust signal long before it became a file. The ear evolved to identify other living things — to read intention, identity, exhaustion and risk in the human voice. That is why origin matters more than ever.

100–200M
YEARS · ANCIENT ORIGINS OF ACOUSTIC COMMUNICATION IN MAJOR VERTEBRATE GROUPS

The ear was built for meaning.

Mammalian hearing and vocal signalling co-evolved. Music uses the same biological attention stack: pitch, voice, rhythm, arousal, prediction and social meaning.

REWARD-SYSTEM EVIDENCE FROM MUSIC NEUROSCIENCE

Music is not neutral sound.

Powerful sound can be synthetic, human, hybrid, honest or deceptive. That's exactly why provenance matters.

MUSIC, SYNCHRONY, INFANT ATTENTION AND BONDING RESEARCH

Human origin changes the meaning.

A human-made song carries a person's timing, memory, risk, labour and intention. TrackOrigin verifies that origin instead of asking listeners to guess.

[ §06 — COMMON QUESTIONS ]

BEFORE YOU ASK.

01 How long does a verification actually take?
End to end, most artists are done in under fifteen minutes. The live session itself runs sixty to one hundred and twenty seconds. The rest is upload, declaration and review.
02 What if I used AI in my track?
AI use is declared, not disqualifying. TrackOrigin verifies the human creative origin — whether you led the work, performed it, and stand behind the declared process. AI assistance is recorded on the certificate as disclosed context. Fully AI-generated tracks are not eligible.
03 What audio formats do you accept?
Finished masters in WAV, FLAC or AIFF. The seal is bound to that exact audio hash — re-encoding the file invalidates the binding and requires re-verification.
04 How much does it cost?
Your first 15 verifications are free, no credit card. After that, pay-per-track and label/platform plans are listed on the pricing page. Bulk and partner API rates available on request.
05 What if I collaborated with other people?
Co-writers, producers, vocalists and session players are declared as part of the creative process. The seal verifies the human creative origin of the master, not a single solo author. Collaborators can co-sign their participation.
06 Can a seal be revoked?
Yes. If a verified declaration is later shown to be materially false, the certificate is revoked and the public status updates. Revocations are public. The full methodology covers the audit and dispute path.
