What role does chance play in generative music, and are there different types of chance, and if so, how do I generate them with modular synthesizers?

It´s done! The book is available on
(you can even read the first chapter of the book there).
Without a lot of words about “how great” or “how important” this book is, here´s what it contents. Decide yourself!
Cheers and peace!
