Making Music With Dice

Stuck in a creative rut with your songwriting and don’t know where to take it? Give your brain a break and let random chance take the wheel for a change.

This video is a quick and fun overview of “chance composition” - the process of letting external forces dictate what your song will sound like. This could be as simple as rolling a dice to pick a random chord, or inventing a complicated musical game without fixed outcomes.

The important part is that you’re leaving the decisions about the music to something or someone else, which lets you focus on creating more music and having more fun while you do it. Give it a shot!
