Glacier Ambient Drone
A cold, beatless ambient drone of glacial pads and sub-bass for meditation, documentary, and minimal interface soundscapes.
STARTING PROMPT
Reusable prompt
The original English prompt is kept unchanged so you can reproduce the Glacier Ambient Drone example.
A minimal ambient drone piece: slow-moving string pads, deep sub-bass, glacial metallic resonances, sparse piano notes with long reverb tails. Cold, still, and vast, almost no rhythm, instrumental.
How the preview was made
The player on the Glacier Ambient Drone page carries the first 90 seconds of one suno-v4.5 render of this exact prompt, made for the gallery in September 2026 through POST /v1/media/tasks in description mode with instrumental set to true. The square cover is a separate Nano Banana 2 image built from a different prompt, not from the music prompt.
Make it yours
- 01
Set the low end
Change "deep sub-bass" to a stated register, for example "sub-bass under a single held note", so the bottom end does not fill the whole mix. For meditation or dialogue use, the low end decides how much room the rest of the sound has.
- 02
Add where it plays
Put the use case after "cold, still, and vast", for example "background for a slow documentary sequence", so the piece keeps an even level. A documentary bed and a meditation track need different amounts of movement.
- 03
Drop or keep the piano
Remove "sparse piano notes with long reverb tails" if the piece must stay textural, or change it to "one piano note every few bars" to keep a marker in the drone. This clause controls whether the track has a recurring event to edit against.
Check before you rely on it
- A song keeps being made while the progress figure reads 0, and a job that looks stalled can be cancelled by mistake. Watch the status field on the task until it reads succeeded, then fetch the file.
- Description mode can drift in genre. The gallery tracks with vocals were rendered in custom mode with lyrics because a description alone once turned a stadium rock brief into synth-pop. Listen through before you publish the drone.
- Signed MP3 links expire about an hour after they are issued. Download your own copy of the drone before the link lapses, since the task record itself lasts 24 hours.
Run it through the API
Built from the template's model id, prompt and settings. Set OMNIAKEY_API_KEY in your environment first.

Questions
Why does the progress figure stay at zero?
The progress figure on suno-v4.5 can sit at 0 for the whole job. Poll the status field instead, because a song that is still being made looks stalled and gets cancelled. For a long beatless drone, the status moves before the figure does.
What settings do I send for this drone?
Send POST /v1/media/tasks with model suno-v4.5, the prompt in description mode, and instrumental set to true. Poll the task until it succeeds, then keep the returned assets[].url file straight away. Billing is per generation, and a failed task refunds the reserved credit.
Is the player the full drone?
No. It carries the first 90 seconds of one render made for the gallery in September 2026, and the template lists a duration of about 4 min for the full piece. Run the prompt yourself to get the complete file, and save it before the signed link expires.
