Foss could also adopt each new vocabulary — open-prairie Americana, serialism, aleatoricism, minimalism — with deceptive ease, but I always felt that the bandwagoneer potshots rather missed the point.

Gammerstang commented on the word aleatoricism
Aleatoricism is the incorporation of chance into the process of creation, especially the creation of art or media. The word derives from the Latin word alea, the rolling of dice. "Aleatory" should not be confused with either improvisation or indeterminacy.
