Carlotta likes to leave grouchy comments as evidenced in the past: http://www.swiss-miss.com/2009/10/grocery-store-musical.html#comments I found it funny he has a beer bottle next to him. Must have been a drunk experiment. :P @Elisa. Carlotta likes to leave grouchy comments as evidenced in the past: http://www.swiss-miss.com/2009/10/grocery-store-musical.html#comments

Although this is not Tiersen himself, I don't think he would be too snobbish about the iPhone as a musical instrument, just as David Hockney is not dismissive of it as a medium for his art. http://www.nybooks.com/features/slideshows/hockney/ It is better to look for possibilities than limitations.

He is not looking for perfection, he's taking a challenge. I wish you could understand that sometimes good stuff can come from "tinny rubbish". And for the record, you are being rude. Carlotta:

A very good musician can play a piece on a phone but it sounds utterly tinny and rubbish...so what? Whats the point? What does it prove? I'm not trying to be rude about it and i actually love Yann's work, but I'm genuinely curious....why is this good or even interesting? I don’t understand this sort of thing.
