Music Generation

Generate instrumental music and background tracks using each::sense — the intelligent AI agent that automatically selects the best model for your request.

Quick Start

Requires an each::labs API key. Get one at eachlabs.ai.

Using curl

curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Generate a chill lo-fi hip-hop instrumental, 85 BPM, with warm Rhodes piano, vinyl crackle, mellow drum loop, and a soft bass line. 45 seconds long, perfect for a study playlist."}],
    "stream": false
  }'

Using Python (OpenAI SDK)

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_EACHLABS_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="eachsense/beta",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Generate a chill lo-fi hip-hop instrumental, 85 BPM, with warm Rhodes piano, vinyl crackle, mellow drum loop, and a soft bass line. 45 seconds long, perfect for a study playlist."}]
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

With Reference Image

curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": [
              {"type": "text", "text": "Generate instrumental background music that matches the mood and atmosphere of this image. Create a soundscape that a viewer would expect to hear while looking at this scene."},
              {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "https://example.com/scenic-photo.jpg"}}
            ]
          }
    ],
    "stream": false
  }'

Images are sent inside messages using the OpenAI multimodal content format. Maximum 4 images per request.

Streaming

Set "stream": true for real-time SSE responses, or "stream": false for complete result in a single response. Streaming is useful for showing progress in UIs; non-streaming is simpler for scripts and automation.

Available Models

each::sense picks the optimal model based on your prompt. Specify "instrumental" or "no vocals" to ensure vocal-free output.

Common Pitfalls

• Not specifying "instrumental" may produce tracks with vocals. Be explicit: "no vocals."
• Missing BPM leaves tempo to chance. Always include target BPM for consistent results.
• Vague instrument lists like "some music" give generic output. Name specific instruments.
• Duration ambiguity can produce clips that are too short or too long. State duration clearly.
• Ignoring dynamics results in flat tracks. Describe how energy should build and release.
