Summary/Abstract: The article familiarises the reader with the genesis and the evolution of Ryszard Gabryś’s creative output in the context of the biography of the composer. Attention was directed toward the peculiar cultural context which constituted the basis for the formation of the artistic views of Gabryś, including his consistent fascination by the avant-garde. The main trends of the creative interests of the artist, which covered – apart from “pure” music – poetry, theatre, performance, were confronted with the practical sphere of his activities as a columnist, organiser of musical life and a teacher. In all of these departments Gabryś achieved fulfilment as a person who transcended various divisions and boundaries, a person who challenged conventions. This pursuit also characterises the creative output of the artist, to which one began to apply the term “metamusic”. The premise of the “metamusic” of Gabryś was discussed on the basis of examples of his flagship works which originated from the second half of the 20th century and the beginning of the present century.
