This is where I need to learn, the randomness that comes with the occult. The phrase “Music of Changes” has a number of different connotations. The Chinese oracle book I Ching, often known as the Book of Changes, is one of them. The alteration in Cage’s compositional vocabulary is another, more intimate allusion.
To build several charts for the music’s numerous parameters—tempo, dynamics, sounds and silences, durations, and superimpositions—Cage used I Ching chance operations. Using these charts, he produced a piece that is fully notated and uses the traditional notation system of staves and bars. In addition to using the keys, the piano can also be performed by slamming the keyboard lid, playing cymbal beaters on the strings, plucking the strings with the fingernails, and more. Additionally, pedalling is fully noted. In the proportional notation, 1 inch equals a quarter note. The 3-5-634-634-5-31/8 rhythmic structure is represented by varying tempos, including the usage of accellerandos and ritards.

Sharon Gal says that the card game Etudes is inspired by the Tarot. The number of cards in Etudes (78) is the same as the number of cards in a Tarot deck. Etudes is played in a similar way to Tarot, with players using the cards to explore their music style. Etudes is a website that contains music scores and propositions that can help stimulate a person’s imagination and creativity. It is a great way for anyone who loves music or is looking for new and interesting ways to create it. There are scores and propositions for groups and phrases, so anyone can find something that will work for them. Etudes is a great way to explore music and create something new and exciting.

This one is very similar to Etudes in that they are both card-based games with a lot of random elements. In both games, players draw cards and use them to perform actions.
