Thanks! I kind of got my inspiration for using dice this way in writing music from the following video: I happen to also have a large variety of different dice that I can use in ways not exemplified here. I have 4-sided, 6-sided, 8-sided, 12-sided, and even 20-sided dice. Of course, not all of the dice have obvious uses in music. I just bought a set of dice intended for fantasy-rpg games. But my 12-sided musicians dice had to be purchased online. Thanks for your comments! Yeah - after coming up with the basic harmonies I was going to use with 6-sided dice determining the figured bass numbers, I went through a couple of different drafts before finally arriving at the 3/4 version I used. Adding the words and a bass voice was the very last step. I feel really lucky that it sort of worked out! LoL - not surprising since I used dice.

I really like it! It seems like a super interesting experiment, using the dices for composing. I think almost any kind of progression or musical context can be made beautiful if given enough effort and time, and this is a good way of practicing that kind of compositional variety. I also like the lyrics, simple but poetic and effective!
