Bouliane鈥檚 original stylistical approach, described by German musicologist Peter Niklas Wilson as the Music of Magic Realism, is akin to a virtuoso game of criticism bordering on stylistical mystification, following in the footsteps of Jorge-Luis Borges, Italo Calvino and Boris Vian. A subject of controversy in so-called avant-garde milieus, his music seems to lie at the crossroads between America and Europe, and at the center of debates on modernity and postmodernity. Bouliane is one of the Quebec composers to have most deeply reflected on and questioned his cultural heritage. Trained in Europe in Ligeti鈥檚 class, he remains however highly aware of his North-American roots, accepted for their spontaneity as well as their paradoxes. Without ever quoting anything, his music represents what he considers an 鈥渁ttitude鈥� towards the sound world and the musical language. In this respect, one could find a filiation with Charles Ives.

He has embarked since the beginning of the 2000s in the composition of a large cycle entitled Gamache, the Saga of the Anticostians, proposing a quasi-mythical vision of an imaginary North-America's hidden history, at the crossroads of aboriginal and european cultures, based on the life and deeds of Louis Olivier Gamache, Anticosti island's lord and sorcerer, his ancestors and descendants. Until now four ensemble and orchestral pieces are already part of the cycle, which will develop in a series of operas.
