Google Lyria integration

Powered by Google Lyria, this API generates original instrumental music tracks from text descriptions.
Google Lyria is an AI-powered music generation API that creates original instrumental music from text descriptions. Describe the genre, mood, instruments, and tempo you want, and receive an audio track delivered as a URL. Each request produces a single track with a fixed duration of 30 seconds, making it ideal for video production, games, podcasts, and multimedia projects.

​
Key capabilities

  • Text-guided generation: describe any music style to generate (e.g., “Uplifting orchestral score with soaring strings”, “Warm lo-fi hip hop beat with vinyl crackle”)
  • Fixed 30-second tracks: each request produces a single 30-second instrumental track
  • Negative prompt: exclude unwanted instruments, styles, or moods with negative_prompt
  • Reproducible output: pass a seed to get a consistent result for the same prompt
  • Audio URL output: the generated track is delivered via a URL for download
  • Async processing: webhook notifications or polling for task completion

​
Use cases

  • Video production: background music for videos and presentations
  • Game development: custom instrumental loops for games and apps
  • Content creation: unique music beds for podcasts, streams, and social media
  • Advertising: original background tracks for ads
  • Film production: temp tracks or production music for films

Best practices

  • Prompt specificity: use detailed descriptions of genre, mood, instruments, and tempo for better accuracy
  • Negative prompts: exclude unwanted elements to steer the composition
  • Reproducibility: fix seed to compare prompt variations against a stable baseline
  • Production integration: use webhooks instead of polling for scalable applications
  • Error handling: implement retry logic with exponential backoff for 503 errors
  • Lyria 3: text-to-music with selectable clip or pro model variants and optional reference images. See the Lyria 3 overview.
