Music Generator

Music Generator (Google Lyria 3)

Generate music using Google Lyria 3 Pro / Clip (DeepMind) via Gemini API, save to CC Pages, and share.

Two models:

• Lyria 3 Clip (lyria-3-clip-preview) — 30-second clips, fast iteration
• Lyria 3 Pro (lyria-3-pro-preview) — full-length songs (1-3 minutes)

Usage

~/.claude/skills/music-generator/scripts/music-generate.sh "your music prompt"

Options

# Quick 30s clip (default)
~/.claude/skills/music-generator/scripts/music-generate.sh "a dramatic solo piano piece in C minor"

# Full-length song (1-3 min)
~/.claude/skills/music-generator/scripts/music-generate.sh "epic orchestral film score" --duration full

# Specify style, key, tempo
~/.claude/skills/music-generator/scripts/music-generate.sh "jazz trio" --style jazz --key "Bb major" --tempo 140

# Allow vocals (default: instrumental only)
~/.claude/skills/music-generator/scripts/music-generate.sh "pop ballad with singing" --vocal

# Custom output filename
~/.claude/skills/music-generator/scripts/music-generate.sh "ambient soundscape" --output my-ambient

# Combine options
~/.claude/skills/music-generator/scripts/music-generate.sh \
  "virtuoso solo piano, Late Romantic style, dramatic arpeggios and singing melody" \
  --duration full --key "C# minor" --tempo 72 --output concert-piece

Output

• Audio saved to $CC_PAGES_WEB_ROOT/assets/music/ as MP3
• Returns the public URL: $CC_PAGES_URL_PREFIX/assets/music/{filename}.mp3

Workflow

# 1. Generate music
URL=$(~/.claude/skills/music-generator/scripts/music-generate.sh "solo piano nocturne" --duration full)

# 2. Share URL or embed in HTML
echo "Listen: $URL"

Prompt Engineering Tips

1. Use timestamps for structure: [0:00-0:25] slow intro, [0:25-1:00] build intensity, [1:00-1:30] climax
2. Use Italian musical terms: Allegro, Pianissimo, Rubato, Con fuoco, Crescendo, Sforzando
3. Specify instrumentation explicitly: "solo piano", "string quartet", "jazz trio with piano, upright bass, and brushed drums"
4. NO copyrighted references: Never name specific compositions, artists, or songs — the API will block with PROHIBITED_CONTENT. Use generic style descriptions instead ("Late Romantic virtuoso piano", "bebop jazz")
5. Repeat "NO vocals" for instrumental: Say "Instrumental only. NO vocals. NO singing." at least twice if you want pure instrumental
6. Describe dynamics and emotion: "haunting and melancholic opening, building to a passionate fortissimo climax, then resolving with gentle pianissimo"
