* '''For Japanese scales:''' He prefers '''Meantone''' temperaments in '''55edo''', '''98edo''', or '''43edo''' (approx. 1/5-comma meantone). He generally dislikes 5-limit JI or Pythagorean tunings for these scales, finding the "wolf" intervals objectionable.

Since late 2023, Budjarn Lambeth has cultivated a prolific hobbyist career as a microtonal composer, turning his YouTube channel into a public laboratory for xenharmonic experimentation. Utilizing a specialized toolkit—including Scale Workshop, ThumbJam, GeoShred, AudioKit Synth One and Audacity—Lambeth explores the mathematical "cracks between the keys" of standard tuning. His work is defined by a process-driven curiosity and an open-source spirit, frequently offering his compositions as "free to use" while providing educational links to tuning theory. His output is remarkably diverse, spanning everything from 19EDO (Equal Division of the Octave) to complex just intonation and obscure temperaments like Orwell and Sensi.

The artistic trajectory of Lambeth’s career reached a significant milestone in August 2024 with "Four Improvisations in 21-Tone Equal Temperament," which remains his flagship work with over 1,700 views and a perfect 100% like ratio. This success signaled a shift from purely technical tuning demonstrations to more atmospheric and narrative-driven compositions. Earlier highlights, such as the surreal "Enchanted Shopping Mall" (33EDO) and the playful "Bubblegum," demonstrated his ability to make alien scales feel emotionally accessible.

By 2025 and 2026, Lambeth’s work matured into more cinematic and evocative territory, evidenced by titles like "The Odd Effects of Breathing the Fairy Dust" (59EDO) and "Rain in the Crystal Mirror Caves." While some of his more radical experiments—such as those in smaller, more dissonant edos like 15edo and 16edo—have occasionally polarized his listeners, he maintains a dedicated niche audience that values his unique blend of rigorous music theory and poetic sensibility.
