Stochastic Music

Stochastic Music is a form of music that uses mathematical processes to generate sounds. They have used mathematics, statistics, and physics to create music using these processes. Iannis Xenakis is the artist who first pioneered the genre. He also coined the term "stochastic music". Computers are used a decent amount in the style of music. Xenakis has been knwn to use computers to create his stochastic sound. The music produced has a rather electronic and 8-bit esque quality to it. Hopefully tis style of music will continue to be made everywhere.
