About
Composer and educator, Stéphane Boussuge develops an approach that bridges instrumental writing, algorithmic composition, and research on time and perception. His work is grounded in a close articulation between musical intuition and formal rigor, exploring both contemporary harmonic structures and generative processes through advanced computer-assisted composition tools. Through ComposerWorkshop, he supports composers and musicians in the development of a personal musical language, offering a demanding learning environment focused on artistic autonomy, research, and experimentation. Stéphane also helps composers design and develop their own creative environments, combining musical thinking, algorithmic composition and AI-assisted programming. His approach supports composers in building tools that respond to their individual artistic needs.
Courses by Stéphane Boussuge
Tonal and Modal pitch remapping in Opusmodus
This course explores advanced techniques for transforming melodic and harmonic material through tonal and modal pitch remapping in Opusmodus. Instead of traditional transposition, pitch structures are dynamically reinterpreted within new tonal or modal frameworks, allowing composers to reshape musical material while preserving its structural identity. Through practical examples and algorithmic workflows, you will learn how to remap pitch collections, adapt melodic lines to different modal environments, and generate harmonic variations while maintaining coherent voice-leading. The course demonstrates how these techniques can be integrated into generative and process-based composition. Designed for composers interested in algorithmic thinking, this course provides powerful tools to manipulate pitch structures and create rich transformations from a single musical idea.
