Sherds from a jar of clay

Last night while my husband was hosting a game time with friends where many dice (6 siders, 12 siders, 20 siders etc.) where involved I still had the radio on and heard about a piece composed by Mozart where there were many different measures of a minute written (like 16 or more of them) and you were to roll dice to choose what measures would be played in what order to play the piece. The result being a minute that is seldom the same piece twice. I felt like my worlds were colliding.

A web search for more info on this interesting and postmodern before its time idea resulted in the following:

a place where the computer will take similar minute music and aid you in rolling and playing the musical results.

This one includes info on the math and probabilities involved.

So dust of your dice and enjoy.
