Indeterminate Music

Indeterminate Music is a compositional practice within contemporary music that, as a method under the broader topic of Spontaneous Composition, is distinguished by the deliberate incorporation of unpredictable or unspecified elements during its realization, thereby relinquishing full control over musical outcomes to performers, chance procedures, or environmental conditions.
