Here's the breakdown:
Step 1: Roll one die to determine the length of your piece in minutes. 5 minutes

Step 2: Roll two dice to determine the number of sections to your piece. Their length should be equal. 25 sections - 12 seconds per section

Step 3: For each section roll one die to determine the number of layers. 3 layers per section

Step 4: For each layer roll one die to determine the number of different notes played. A note is only played once per layer, but it can be held for as long as desired within that section. Layer 1 - 3 notes / Layer 2 - 1 note / Layer 3 - 2 notes

Step 5: Bonus: Create additional dice-based rules and mention them in the notes associated with your finished track.
Instruments - 5
polyrythm - 6/3

Did a polyrythm percussion track first, added 2 synths, a guitar and a bass track, played quite a bit with effects and filters, mixed and matched and here it goes.
