Supporting creativity
Music AI Sandbox
Powered by Lyria 2, Music AI Sandbox is a tool we’ve developed with insights from music industry professionals.
-
A musical playground
Create new instrumental or vocal parts for existing pieces, or explore new directions — amplifying creativity. Music AI Sandbox helps artists push into unexplored territory, from unique soundscapes to songs that take musicality to its limits.
-
Built with, and for, musicians
We created Music AI Sandbox in collaboration with artists. Their input has guided our development, resulting in a set of responsibly-created tools that are practically useful for artists of all levels — opening doors to music creation.
Music AI Sandbox in action
Learn about our previous experiments, in collaboration with artists.
We partnered with award-winning musicians and composers. Leveraging the Music AI Sandbox, we integrated their instrumental creations to craft the sonic foundation for Google Cloud Next '25. This project showcases AI elevating and expanding human creative possibilities.
Safety from development to deployment
We believe AI should enhance human creativity, not replace it. We’re working directly with artists to gather feedback and to develop guardrails that address their concerns. By doing this, we ensure this tool empowers creators and helps them realize the possibilities of AI in their work.
We’re also deploying Lyria 2 with our latest privacy, safety and security technologies, including our innovative watermarking tool SynthID — which embeds an imperceptible digital watermark directly into the audio output, making it identifiable as AI-generated content but otherwise imperceptible.
Limitations
While Lyria 2 demonstrates the incredible potential of AI for music generation, we are still working to develop and refine its performance — and to expand its coverage of languages and genres.
Testing Lyria 2
Lyria 2 is currently available to a limited number of trusted testers, who are helping us develop and refine the experience. If you're interested in becoming a tester, please share a few details to join the waitlist.
