Long-time musician and AI researcher Martin Clancy believes in the potential of music. According to Clancy, when used responsibly, AI can add value to the creative process and the music ecosystem. National solutions to the problems need to be sought.

For those who spent their youth in the 1990s and 2000s, it’s going to be a real nostalgia summer as several of famous bands, from Don Huonot to PMMP and Kingston Wall, return to the stage.

Gramex joined the global Human Artistry campaign to promote the use of responsible AI and the future of genuine creative work. The principles have been signed by hundreds of organisations from more than 30 countries.

In December, Gramex paid out 4.3 million EUR in the fourth distribution of the year, in which around 8 000 Finnish music performers and producers received remuneration. This year was the first year in which Gramex made four distributions for all main use types such as public performance and broadcasting.

Gramex's autumn meeting decided on new deductions from performers' and producers' remuneration. In 2024, a handling fee for remunerations collected from abroad will be introduced, as well as a deduction for social, cultural and educational activities for music performers.

We launched a completely redesigned website. The aim is to take digital customer service and communication to a new level. As part of the redesign, GramexPress was completely converted to digital media, with some of the content also published in English.The content of Gramex.fi is also entirely in English and Swedish.

Music has been an active part of artist-musician Atte Ranta's life since school. For Atte Ranta, music copyright means both: income and control over his own work and art.

For Tapiola Sinfonietta cellist Janne Aalto, Gramex payments are an important part of the appreciation of an orchestral musician's work. Domestic classical music recordings are now attracting more remuneration from the world than ever before. A musician who actively records can receive a considerable amount of money each year.
