Music Generation

Generate background music for the radio show using the Lyria model via the Interactions API.

Embedded Script

python3 skills/music-generation/scripts/generate_music.py --workspace ./workspace --mood tech

Arguments

Moods

What it does

1. Selects the music prompt based on --mood.
2. Calls the Interactions API with the lyria-3-clip-preview model.
3. Generates a ~30-second music clip.
4. Saves as MP3 to {workspace}/audio/music/background.mp3.
5. Gracefully handles failures — the pipeline continues without music.

Dependencies

• google-genai (>= 2.0.0)

Output

• File: {workspace}/audio/music/background.mp3
• Format: MP3
• Duration: ~30 seconds

Fallback

Lyria is experimental. If generation fails with a policy error or returns no music, the script will attempt to retry once with a simpler fallback prompt: "Create a 30-second simple ambient background track. Instrumental only, calm and neutral."

If the fallback attempt also fails, the pipeline proceeds without background music — the audio-mixing step handles this gracefully.
