PRIXM is a computer program for making compositions, then either providing a printout in the form of tables or an audible output via the VOSIM sound system. This system is actually intended to inform the composer about pitch, loudness and rhythmic events - a kind of piano reduction. However, different kinds of sounds can be described, making the reduction sound better or even changing it altogether. Although Koenig was not trying to compose a piece of music, he was inspired by one particular event ( = output); he followed its traces by slightly adjusting the input data, eventually arriving at a sound structure which was both typical and aesthetically satisfying.
