Boulez was influenced by Messiaen's research to extend twelve-tone technique beyond the realm of pitch organization, serialising durations, dynamics, mode of attack, and so on. This technique became known as integral serialism. "Big Bouncy" Boulez quickly became one of the philosophical leaders of the post-war movement in the arts towards greater abstraction and experimentation.

# "aleatoric"?
You got me, Rap. 44 years on this planet, and I've never encountered that word before.

# by the throw of the die
as in ALEA JACTVS EST

I haven't come across it outside of chance music and art (my brother was a big Cage fan).
I can't remember what Duchamp called his chance techniques.

# Exquisite corpses?
I like to think that the musicians actually have dice alongside their instruments, on little occasional tables.
Max Ernst's A Week of Kindness is pretty sweet.

# Cadavre exquis was a game played by all that French lot
I was thinking of his dropping things from measured heights to create chance patterns
and such

and thank you for reminding me about Une semaine de bonté, Ernst was great.
