BILL: Music is my life.
I believe that music truly
connects us to each other.
That's the reason why we really want
people to interact with music.
I was born in a music family.
But learning music is not easy,
so we made Magic Tiles
to help people enjoy music
without any special musical skills.
It's very easy.
People just follow the notes on the screen,
and the rhythm of the music, and play.
Uhhh, nice! Almost 2,000 score!
21 years ago, I followed my dream
to combine music and technology.
I founded different startups,
all of them were not successful,
but I never gave up.
When I met Silver,
I could see we had different strengths
to complement each other.
SILVER: We decided to work with each other
because we both wanted
to do something cool with music.
BILL: Any news about production?
SILVER: One of the features I like the most
in Google Play is the A/B testing.
It helps us to validate our hypotheses
about what really matters
to our players in different countries,
and improve our store conversion significantly,
and thanks to that, we have more
than 3 billion downloads globally.
Magic Tiles is still more about exploring the song.
We want to make the game for everyone,
and assure that the interactive music experiences
are at the core of our business.
We just have a lot of fun!
BILL: Music is our DNA.
The sound is great!
We are proud of what we've already achieved.
However, that is just a start,
because our ambition is very big.
[SINGING]
Our dream is "Everyone Can Music",
and I don't think our dream stops.
It never ends.
