Shuffle in WordPress Loop?

Question

I use the basic loop code in the taxonomy archive (artists), and I was wondering how you can set the loop to display messages in random order ('orderby' => 'rand'), it doesn't seem to work when I add an array? Any help would be great!

        <?php
                // Start the Loop.
                while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();

                    /*
                     * Include the post format-specific template for the content. If you want to
                     * use this in a child theme, then include a file called called content-___.php
                     * (where ___ is the post format) and that will be used instead.
                     */
                    array ( 'orderby' => 'RAND' );
                    get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() );

                endwhile;
                // Previous/next page navigation.
                twentyfourteen_paging_nav();

            else :
                // If no content, include the "No posts found" template.
                get_template_part( 'content', 'none' );

            endif;
        ?>

 <?php  

$query = new WP_Query( array ( 'orderby' => 'rand', 'posts_per_page' => '-1' ) );

        if( $query->have_posts() ):
                // Start the Loop.
                while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post();

                    /*
                     * Include the post format-specific template for the content. If you want to
                     * use this in a child theme, then include a file called called content-___.php
                     * (where ___ is the post format) and that will be used instead.
                     */

                    get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() );

                endwhile;
                // Previous/next page navigation.
                twentyfourteen_paging_nav();

            else :
                // If no content, include the "No posts found" template.
                get_template_part( 'content', 'none' );

            endif;

pre_get_posts

The best way to do this is to use an pre_get_postaction to automatically change the page output. You may need some more coding.
