What it does
- Selects the music prompt based on
--mood.
- Calls the Interactions API with the
lyria-3-clip-preview model.
- Generates a ~30-second music clip.
- Saves as MP3 to
{workspace}/audio/music/background.mp3.
- Gracefully handles failures โ the pipeline continues without music.
Dependencies
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 โ the audio-mixing step handles this gracefully.
