In addition, Tinner also produced Jim Capaldi's Living On the Outside (2001).[3]
Tinner went on to work with other performers such as German actor and musician Marius Müller-Westernhagen, Russian band Mumiy Troll, German comedian Dieter Nuhr, Norwegian alternative rock band Serena-Maneesh, and others.[citation needed]
Tinner has also worked on a number of television and film soundtracks. In 2008, Tinner recorded the film music for the Wim Wenders production Palermo Shooting (which was presented at Cannes Film Festival in 2008).[4] Other notable television and film soundtrack productions include Knife in the Head (Reinhard Hauff, 1978), Schneeland (Hans W.
