I found this in the manual: Note that the initial value of *random-state* is the same every time Guile starts up. Therefore, if you don’t pass a state parameter to the above procedures, and you don’t set *random-state* to (seed->random-state your-seed), where your-seed is something that isn’t the same every time, you’ll get the same sequence of “random” numbers on every run. (set! *random-state* (random-state-from-platform))
