plant
Thuon Burtevitz developed his own tuning system for the one and a half hour piano work "axia" (ancient Greek: "fundamental value"). In this system all intervals are of a different size. For example, there are five different fifths. The octaves are also unequal. With this tuning system a strict order of tones is created, which nonetheless remains open to infinity. The form and rhythms of "axia" are also based on the tuning system.
