His main musical interest is working with and exploring [[Just Intonation]] (JI). He developed [[Rational Comma Notation (RCN)]] in order to provide a link between the mathematical domain of rational numbered frequencies and the musical domain of understanding music better through its notations.

Although RCN is not the only [[Notation|notation]] system which exists for free-JI, it has some desirable properties:
Although RCN is not the only [[musical notation|notation]] system which exists for free JI, it has some desirable properties:
* being able to use traditional note names like in [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_pitch_notation|Scientific Pitch Notation]], e.g. C4, G5, F#2, Bb7
* higher prime commas describe microtonal alterations, e.g. [5] [7] [257]
* prime commas can be combined into a single rational comma for each notation, e.g. [35] = [5] * [7], [11/13] = [11]/[13]
* it uses algorithms to assign all higher prime commas
* RCN has a version for each algorithm (the author recommends a particular algorithm)
