Jam with the world's first bird-tuoso! Meet Viola the Bird, a feathered musician (okay, she's actually an ostrich!). She loves plucking strings and playing cellos. In this online music game created by David Li and Google collaboratively, you'll help Viola play famous classical songs on her cello.

So, help her spread her wings, pluck those strings! Whether you're into composing or just love making noise, Viola the Bird will give you the fun and sounds you've been looking for! The game is like an experimental lab for music, and it is definitely a must-play!

Fun Facts

Viola the Bird was created by David Li, the same genius who brought Blob Opera and Elastic Man. If you'd like to play those games for free and enjoy fluid visuals and strange sounds, follow the links!
Musicians from all over the world teamed up to help Viola play, making this one smart and stylish bird.
The music came from cellists and violinists Ashok Klouda, Dave Larkin, Elizabeth Goble, Peter Wilson, Zhivko Georgiev, and music arrangers Charles Mauleverer and Martin Batchelar. Together, they taught a neural network to chirp out some seriously cool string sounds! That's the wonder of machine learning! How cool is that?
