Certification Programs

The Musical Form Institute offers two independent certification marks for sound recordings

Certified Significant Form (CSF)

A stylized image of a person with a ram's head playing a vinyl record, with stars in the background, and text that reads 'Certified Significant Form' and 'No Generative AI'.

The CSF verifies that a recording was produced without generative AI.

Certificate of Embodied Production (CEP)

A certification badge with a gnome holding a vinyl record, with a star in the background, and the text "Certificate of Embodied Production" encircling the graphic.

The CEP verifies that a recording was produced without grid correction, pitch correction, or generative AI. Every CEP submission is automatically scanned for Certified Significant Form.

During the pilot the first 100 certifications are free, reviewed in the order received.
