Engrave it on stone in three different languages, use OCR to import it. If it must be digital media then store as plain ascii text files stored on multiple types of media. Plain text remains the only consistent digital media format over time. Digital archeologists will likely have jpeg rendering tools in their toolkit as well.

hm, my bad for a confusing prompt. the idea is not to come up with a way to preserve data for 1000 years, but to build an artist-friendly indie music platform that could last 1000 years.
