Bossa nova-influenced rhythm with soft brushed drums. Vocals in Portuguese express themes of saudade and the beauty of life. ``` **Epic Orchestral** ``` Epic military march with powerful brass fanfares, thundering timpani drums, and a soaring choir. Triumphant and heroic, with deep bass tubas, bold trumpets, snare rolls, and an anthemic melody building to a glorious crescendo. ``` **Lullaby** ``` Gentle orchestral lullaby with sweeping strings, soft brass, and ethereal wordless soprano vocals. Peaceful yet majestic, evoking wonder and hope. Perfect for falling asleep while dreaming of adventures. ``` **Comedy Rock** ``` Brazilian comedy rock with absurd, hilarious Portuguese lyrics full of wordplay. Mix energetic rock guitars with unexpected rhythms - forró breakdowns, pagode moments. Theatrical, exaggerated vocals singing about ridiculous situations. ``` ## Requirements - **ElevenLabs API Key**: Set `ELEVENLABS_API_KEY` environment variable - **Paid Plan**: Music API requires Creator plan or higher - **uv**: For running the Python script with dependencies ## Supported Features - Text-to-music generation up to 10 minutes - AI-generated lyrics and vocals in multiple languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Japanese, etc.) - Instrumental-only mode - Most musical styles and genres
