A new way to express yourself: Gemini can now create music
The Gemini app has introduced a new feature that allows users to create custom music using Google DeepMind’s Lyria 3 model. This feature is now available in beta and enables users to generate 30-second tracks from text or images.
Key Features of Lyria 3
Lyria 3 improves on previous models in three important ways: it can generate lyrics automatically, provide more creative control over elements like style, vocals, and tempo, and create more realistic and musically complex tracks.
Users can describe a specific genre, mood, inside joke, or memory to create unique tracks with lyrics or instrumental audio that fits their vibe. They can also upload a photo or video and watch Gemini use the content to compose a track with lyrics that fit the mood perfectly.
Music Generation with Lyria 3
The Gemini app creates 30-second tracks with custom cover art generated by Nano Banana. This makes it easy to quickly share with friends by downloading or simply clicking the share link. The goal of these tracks isn’t to create a musical masterpiece, but rather to give users a fun, unique way to express themselves.
New Audio Verification Capabilities
All tracks generated in the Gemini app are embedded with SynthID, our imperceptible watermark for identifying Google AI-generated content. The Gemini app also provides tools to help identify AI content, including audio, image, and video verification capabilities.
Commitment to Developing Generative AI Responsibly
Google DeepMind has sought to develop this technology responsibly in collaboration with the music community. They’ve learned a lot through these collaborations and experiments, like Music AI Sandbox, and have been very mindful of copyright and partner agreements as they’ve trained Lyria 3.
Music generation with Lyria 3 is designed for original expression, not for mimicking existing artists. If a user’s prompt names a specific artist, Gemini will take this as broad creative inspiration and create a track that shares a similar style or mood. They also have filters in place to check outputs against existing content.
Availability of Lyria 3
Lyria 3 is available in the Gemini app for all users 18+ in English, German, Spanish, French, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, and Portuguese. Users can explore Lyria 3 on YouTube’s Dream Track, which is available in the U.S. and now rolling out to YouTube creators in other countries.
Conclusion
The introduction of Lyria 3 in the Gemini app marks a new way for users to express themselves through music. With its ability to generate lyrics automatically, provide more creative control, and create more realistic and musically complex tracks, Lyria 3 is a powerful tool for users to create unique and personalized music tracks.
