I am a Berlin-based Canadian composer and violinist exploring ways of making just intonation (JI) music with acoustic and electronic sounds. I am developing theoretical and artistic tools that help get closer to this material. This site is a way of sharing my work and information about it in an open access format. I am currently composing, playing violin, Continuum Fingerboard, and Lumatone, writing articles, teaching, and coding. Here are a few quick links:
