Max M. Stern · Interface · 1988
The element of chance has become an accepted contemporary aesthetic, which has challenged musicians to reexamine and reevaluate the elements of music and musical sound, while seeking procedures toward shaping this aural experience for artistic purposes. The present paper attempts to develop a conceptual model for identifying, analyzing, and evaluating indeterminate elements and procedures used in composition.
