Nice idea, f. e. when combining with the Improviso music font. It’s 
generally possible to use scheme functions to create random things in 
LilyPond, f. e. random pitches (http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=274). 
I’ve never seen something similar to your suggestion but I think that it 
should be possible to redefine "(" to tweak every slur with some randomness.
