THIS IS ONLY
THE BEGINNING.
musen is already your personal radio on iPhone and Android.
Now we are building what comes around it.
More music. Better discovery. Artists joining the radio. A new artist and fan economy built around listening time. A web experience. And eventually, new ways for radio to follow you into the places where you live, move and listen.
Some of this exists today. Some of it is already being tested. Some of it comes later.
HERE’S WHERE WE’RE GOING.
YOUR PERSONAL RADIO.
Press play and musen keeps going.
Tell the radio what you want by typing it, saying it or showing it a picture.
Change the mood. Change the energy. Ask for something completely different.
The radio adapts without asking you to build another playlist or manage another queue.
- Free on iPhone and Android
- Text, voice and picture requests
- Optional AI Host
- A radio that remembers you
- Music that keeps going
POWERED BY AI.
TUNED TO YOU.
AI helps musen understand the moment, choose what should happen next and keep the radio moving.
The music still comes from artists.
The current musen radio plays existing recordings rather than generating the songs you hear.
AI shapes the experience.
Artists make the music worth listening to.
MORE MUSIC.
MORE DISCOVERY.
A personal radio becomes more interesting as more music can find its way into the right moment.
musen is building two permanent paths for music to enter the radio.
Independent artists
Music supplied directly by participating creators.
Professional catalogues
Music made available through labels, distributors and rights partners.
Different paths. One radio.
The music has to be there with the right permission.
ARTISTS ARE JOINING
THE RADIO.
Artist participation has already started with a limited group.
We are testing how independent music enters musen, how it is discovered and how listening can connect back to the people who made it.
The programme starts small because we want to get the relationship between artists, listeners, rights and money right before opening it more widely.
A NEW ARTIST AND
FAN ECONOMY.
Time already matters to radio.
It tells us how long someone listened, what they stayed with and what became part of their day.
Now we are testing whether that same time can create a clearer connection between listeners and artists.
In the model we are building, royalty attribution happens in real time.
-
Listeners see who they support
Their dashboard can show where their eligible contribution is going and which artists their listening supports.
-
Artists see royalties grow
Qualifying listening can update attributed royalties as it happens.
-
Both sides see the same relationship
The fan sees the artists their listening supports. The artist sees listening becoming economic support.
Withdrawals target
A MAXIMUM OF 48 HOURS.
Artists can request a withdrawal, followed by the final checks needed before money moves.
Real time where visibility matters.
Careful where money moves.
PROJECT CHECKMATE
Project Checkmate is the system we are testing behind that artist and fan economy.
Its purpose is simple:
-
Connect listening to attribution
Qualifying time with the music is recorded as it happens.
-
Connect attribution to the right people and rights
Eligible listening is connected to the relevant artists and rights.
-
Make that value visible
Listeners and artists can see the same relationship from their own side.
-
Then make settlement possible
Artists can request a withdrawal after the final checks.
No black box between the fan and the artist.

MUSEN ON THE WEB.
Today, musen lives on iPhone and Android.
The web is next.
The goal is not to turn musen into another giant music website.
It is to bring the same personal radio somewhere else you can press play.
- Your radio
- Your taste
- Your history
- A different screen
A RADIO THAT GETS
BETTER WITH TIME.
Every session gives the radio more context.
- What you ask for
- What you stay with
- What you return to
- What works at different moments
We are continuing to improve how musen uses those signals so your radio can become more coherent, more personal and easier to trust over time.
The goal is simple:
LESS MANAGING.
MORE LISTENING.
RADIO WHERE LIFE HAPPENS.
Your phone is only one place where listening happens.
Over time, we want musen to be able to exist wherever a personal radio makes sense.
Cars
A radio that understands the journey without making you manage it.
Homes
Music that can follow the room, the moment and the people in it.
Devices
New ways to bring personal radio into the things people already use.
Software
Apps and intelligent systems that can ask musen for the right radio for what is happening.
The screen can change.
Your radio should still feel like your radio.
MUSEN FOR DEVELOPERS
AND DEVICES.
Eventually, developers should be able to bring musen into other products and environments.
An app, device or intelligent system could tell musen what is happening and what kind of radio the moment needs.
musen would still take care of the radio itself.
- The music
- The continuity
- The rights
- What plays next
Public developer access comes later, once the product, rights and security foundations are ready for it.
MORE WAYS FOR ARTISTS AND
LISTENERS TO CONNECT.
The artist and fan economy we are testing is only the beginning of that relationship.
Over time, better attribution can make new things possible.
- Listeners understanding the artists they support
- Artists understanding where meaningful listening comes from
- Discovery creating longer relationships instead of disappearing into a play count
- Personal radio becoming a place where listening has visible value on both sides
We are not deciding every economic rule today.
We are building the foundation that lets us test them properly.
SOME THINGS ARE NOT
ON THE ROADMAP.
THEY ARE THE FOUNDATION.
-
Radio should keep going.
You should not need to choose every song for the experience to remain yours.
-
You should always be able to change direction.
Personalisation should make the radio easier to guide, not harder to escape.
-
Artists remain the authors.
AI can understand, choose, sequence and adapt. It should not erase the people behind the music.
-
Rights come before reach.
Having access to music is not the same as having permission to use it.
-
Listening should be visible.
If listening creates value, listeners and artists should be able to understand where that value is going.
-
Memory should help the radio grow with you.
Not lock you into who an algorithm thought you were six months ago.
-
We will tell you what is live.
What is being tested. And what is still ahead.
WE’RE BUILDING FOR
THE LONG RUN.
musen is personal radio today.
The artist programme is starting. The artist and fan economy is being tested. The web comes next. More music is coming into the system.
And over time, radio can move beyond one app and into more of the places where listening already happens.
The product will change. The idea stays simple.
PRESS PLAY.
TELL THE RADIO WHAT THE MOMENT NEEDS.
LET IT TAKE CARE OF WHAT COMES NEXT.
