Summary/Abstract: The article develops the methodology of the sound-image research in the context of the sonological approach which integrates the interdisciplinary links between the musical studies and cultural studies. Integrated system methodology of musicology is the reflection of the global process of universalization methodological what is happening in contemporary humanities. Factors that influenced the universalism of scientific knowledge and thinking culturological artists who systematically substantiated logic of global cultural integration. Since 60-th of XX century vectors to study the problems of globalization, civilization changes of society and the evolution of a single culture selected in the independent schools and currents. Formed a theory of the world, local and global civilizations. This process can be called the stage of historical and cultural consciousness, accompanied by an appeal to ontological first principles of human existence, the search for universals (universal values), which correspond to the transformation process of forming a new categorical model of the world. Versatile and deep understanding of globalization as a systemic model, which is determined by various institutional structures taking into account socio-economic, geopolitical, cultural processes happened at the same time with the expansion of methodological approaches of art history, which in the twentieth century does not lose its connection with philosophy, sociology and cultural studies. Evidence of this theory serve fonosfery M. Tarakanov, covering the entire sound world and becomes an extension of the concept of the noosphere V. Vernadsky theory melosfery I. Zemtsovskoho and I. Matsiyevskoho kontonatsiyi, based on the laws of the theory of intonation B. Asaf'yeva. At the beginning of cognitive understanding of cultural and artistic processes led to the renewal survey methodology, based on "synergetic paradigm". The development of a universal methodology continued global nature scientists of Moscow cultural schools (J. Mikhailov, Y. Rozhdestvenskiy T. Cherednychenko, E. Vasil'chenko, M. Karatygin). J. Mikhailov has come to create a new scientific direction – "sonology of culture", based on methodological principle is building a sound picture of the world system, review of music culture of the Earth as a single "sounding body". The object of study of this direction is the music which is treated as a unique cultural phenomenon that is associated with a variety pra- and paramusical phenomena such as sound, sound, music, musical instruments, system of musical language and sound musical texts and more. Sound regarded as equal in relation to self-contained music culture phenomenon that reflects the macrocosm civilization specificity and existence. J. Mikhailov tried to create a musical-cultural matrix study sound/music as a model of the world, which reflects the "sound musical consciousness" era. It takes into account not only the expression possibilities of musical sound, but its the modeling of the world, symbolic and semantic possibilities in culture-space. It is proved that expands the methodological approach sonologicall intention dialogue between contemporary theoretical comprehension instrumentalism sound images and sound as a way of representing the picture of the world. The identified basic principles sonologicall concept of culture, revealing the underlying fundamentals of being and consciousness of musical sound era. The guiding principle of this methodology is to develop a universal view of the musical culture of the world as a single global system of "sounding space" in which all the elements are in a single pattern. Complex application of systematic, historical and typological and regional and civilization approaches in the study of music and cultural space allowed to single out entire "sound model" as a regional civilizations and world music of a certain age, which serves as a sound symbols. In-depth comprehension of the phenomenon of sound images through open communication with ontological categories of sound and sound understanding of the essence of musical practice rights. From the standpoint sonologicall approach the category of "sound image" should be seen as a systemic phenomenon, characterized by ontological, cultural, historic, axiological, mental-psychological, historical, stylistic, semantic, semiotic, expressive and psychological, artistic and communicative and instrumental performing characteristics. Sound images and information is artistically code that translates the image of man and historical time (the image of the world) because of the nature and type sound feeling of musical expression in a particular of acoustics space. A promising for further research in this direction is the study of sound image of musical culture of the twentieth century as a manifestation of the transformation sound-imagery thinking of contemporary artists.
