This article is devoted to the phenomenon of amateurs music-making in modern culture. Also we touch the problem of computer technologies’ influence on the musical meaning of musiciansamateurs. The objectives of this study is to describe the problem of amateurs music-making as a new sphere of musical creativity and a whole cultural layer, which differ from music of academic tradition and needs a special scientific research. In the center of attention in our study are such tasks: determining the concept «a musical amateur»; comprehension of musical meaning features in amateurs creativity; considering technologies, which cooperates the development of composer’s amateur music making; analyzing amateurs musical compositions and realizing the main principles of musical meaning represented in them. An amateurs music-making is the type of creativity, which brings a pleasure to a person, who involved in it. Such creativity is valuable by itself and lies outside his basic profession. It is not the method of money earning. Development of digital technologies and special programs appearing, such as Cubase, Logic Audio, Ableton Live, Reason and powerful audio editors (Steinberg Wavelab, Sony Soundforge, Adobe Audition) made different types of music-making wide-spread and accessible. Analyzing amateur’s works, we can specify two types of amateur music-making: a) traditional, fixed with usual notation; b) digital, which uses possibilities of computer in the spheres of record, production and mastering of sound material and haven’t any fixation in the score. The method of combining new from some limited number of elements expressly traced in music of V. Bezrukov. These elements are intonation formulas and texture clichés – creatively processed and respelled. An important role in this process is played by a release, done by Ukrainian pianist Yuri Gluschenko. An informative saturation and variety of musical texts depends on release, which primary material got through. Some quasi-citations are noticeable in general musical texture. In some works texture or intonation models are used consciously (for example, the texture model of L. Beethoven’s Sonata № 14 is used in the «Moon piece»). The deliberateness of details, literalness and some naivety of appearances, but at the same time freshness of artistic perception inherent the composers-amateurs’ musical opuses («Hedgehog», «Shamrock» by V. of Bezrukov, «March of night gnomes» by D. Akimov), that brings together their works with the naïve painting. A naïve, child's look of a thing gives the special spontaneity and sincerity of musical utterance. Composers-amateurs operate with the certain set of intonation stereotypes and the way of operation bases on combinatorial method. The technique of bricolage, described by Claude LeviStrauss, is very close to musical meaning of amateur composers. Bricolage is a practice of the creation of things from the materials turned up arm-in-arm. A structure and endpoint of creation are more important, than material, used in a work. The basic principles of amateurs musical meaning are combinatorial operations with elements-blocks using bricolage and collage methods. Music material used by amateurs in their works can be unoriginal, banal and surplus, but the result often displays creative freshness, originality, newness, absence of pre-settings and templates in artistic thought. Inexperienced perception, cleanness and spontaneity of the artistic vision of the world, freedom from aesthetic templates allows seeing in the works of composers-amateurs the phenomenon of the special art, having a right of independent existence in a modern artistic culture.
