5d12, 32d120

I composed 5d12, 32d120 for the piano. It was created through rolling 12-side dice to get the five tones used. Taking the idea further, I wrote out each of the 120 combinations of those five tones and assigned them a number before rolling a 100-sided dice and 20-sided dice to get the order of the combinations. As a Dungeons and Dragons player, I love and have many dice on hand. I used these random combinations and wrote this piece with them, only choosing which octave, dynamics, and rhythm they would have. The title takes inspiration from the method used to make the piece. Five 12-sided dice for the tones then Thirty-two 100 and 20-sided dice. This is an early piece in my career and outside of my usual style. This piece was created for Austin White to play at the Penn State Composer's Recital in fall of 2021.
