The article is devoted to the Volodymyr Runchak’s person. The musical culture of the twentieth century entered into history due to the specifics of genre-style development, which was distinguished by the special aspirations of composers to create a specific type of synergy of traditional and innovative. A similar phenomenon can be described as genre metamorphosіs, which is different, inter alia, by the interaction of “old” and “new” systems in the sphere, respectively, of genres, style, forms, artistic and sign structures. Here the richness of stylistic and genre synthesis, the desire for unified harmony are the features of the most effective search of complex meaning in the objects of the music world, which at first glance seem incompatible, but, meanwhile, are inwardly close. The creativity of modern Ukrainian composers is characterized by the presence of crossings of traditions and innovations, which is appropriate to trace at the level of individual manifestations. These processes are embodied, in particular, in the completion and contribution of the advocate of contemporary music, the Ukrainian composer, conductor, artist who combines music and theatricality, by Volodymyr Runchak (born 1960). He is also called one of the “12 apostles” holding musical an aspect of Ukrainian culture. Thus, the relevance is revealed in the actualization of the strategy of adaptation to the reality of musical life, proposed by V. Runchak. Volodymyr Runchak is a representative of the galaxy of composers-innovators, who, in the inspiration of avant-garde music, and also pay attention to genre metamorphosis. Avant-garde music has become the main source of inspiration for metamorphosis and experiments for V. Runchak. In the center of his attention is a complex dissonant language, an expression of musical expression, innovative techniques related to sound creation, atypical spatial-acoustic and timbre-colored means. V. Runchak’s musical action art attracts attention to a range of social problems, thus removing the additional question of the practical purpose of art. One of the characteristic features of modern times is the use of the latest techniques of “designing” chamber instrumental compositions. In this case, there is a complex, expressive space, which is formed with the help of musical techniques, modern technical means, which influence the genre of the work. As one of the incarnations of genre metamorphosis, it can be noted that intensely introduced into chamber and instrumental compositions one of the main instruments of jazz and pop music – saxophone. When composing works, V. Runchak, a composer and conductor, creates complex music for the performer, but is easy to perceive as a listener. He owns a variety of works: for an orchestra, a choir, with the introduction to the classical performance of instruments that are characteristic of jazz. As an experimenter, he engages elements of theatricality, provocation, appeals to the synthesis of arts, instrumental theater, as well as musical action art for the Ukrainian culture in the process of performance of musical works. In addition, his work is connected with education and propaganda (in the positive sense of the word) of avant-garde music of the twentieth century, as well as contemporary music. V. Runchak acts as the organizer or initiator of conducting international and all-Ukrainian musical contests, festivals and concerts. According to V. Runchak himself, such avant-garde stylistic search helps to plunge into the modern musical context to adapt to it. The artist’s technique is an example of a cultural dialogue represented by binary oppositions: old and new, past and present, classical and innovative, avant-garde, secular and spiritual.
