Mashable have managed to track down and interview the mysterious Merton, the guy behind that wonderful Chatroulette Piano Improv video:

Merton seems like a nice enough guy, who genuinely seems taken aback with how viral the video went. This interview also reminds me about the perils of writing about things happening today on the web; in the next issue of Flow I’ll have a column called ‘How Chatroulette Taught Me Everything I Need to Know About the Internet’ which discusses the Merton and Ben Folds, but already be a little out-of-date since it doesn’t refer to this interview.  *hmph*
