Musicgen Lyria3

Overview

This skill enables the generation of high-quality 30-second music previews (default) or full-length 2-3 minute songs using Google's Lyria 3 model via the GenAI SDK. It can produce music in various genres, including tracks with vocals and specific lyrics provided in the text prompt.

Core Capability

The skill utilizes bundled Python scripts:

• scripts/musicgen-lyria3-30sec.py (Default): Interacts with the lyria-3-clip-preview model for 30-second clips.
• scripts/musicgen-lyria3-2min.py: Interacts with the lyria-3-pro-preview model for full-length 2-3 minute songs.
• scripts/musicgen-lyria3-list.py: Queries available music/audio models via the GenAI SDK.

Workflow

1. Understand the Request: Identify if the user wants music, a song, or an audio clip based on a description.
2. Formulate a Prompt: Ensure the prompt includes genre, mood, instruments, and any specific lyrics or vocal styles requested.
3. Execute Generation: Run the script using uv run or python (if dependencies are met).
4. Confirm Output:

• The script saves the resulting audio as clip.mp3 (default) or a custom filename.
• New: Lyrics and metadata are automatically saved to a matching .txt file (e.g., clip.txt).

Example Usage

# List available music/audio models
uv run scripts/musicgen-lyria3-list.py
 
# Basic 30-sec generation (Default)
uv run scripts/musicgen-lyria3-30sec.py --prompt "A high-energy synth-pop song with female vocals"
 
# Custom output filename and specific lyrics (30-sec)
uv run scripts/musicgen-lyria3-30sec.py -o "neon-lights" -p "A synth-pop song with these lyrics: 'Electrified, we're living for the night, under neon lights so bright.'"
 
# Generate a full-length 2-3 minute song
uv run scripts/musicgen-lyria3-2min.py --prompt "An epic cinematic orchestral piece about a journey home, building through sweeping strings."

Guidance for Prompts

To achieve the best results with Lyria 3, be as descriptive as possible:

• Style & Genre: "90s grunge", "lo-fi hip hop", "cinematic orchestral".
• Tempo & Mood: "120 BPM energetic", "slow and atmospheric".
• Instruments: "synthesizers", "distorted guitar", "pounding drums".
• Vocals & Lyrics: Explicitly state if vocals are needed and provide the lyrics in quotes.
