Indeterminate music

Indeterminate music was a form of music pioneered by the late John Cage. It involves music in which the compositional and performance paramaters are left to chance.

The chance in the music may consist of the ambient sounds at a venue, the number of performers or the length of the piece.

See Stochastic music and aleatoric music.
