Conceived and co-organised by Emma Cocker, Alexander Damianisch, Cordula Daus and Lena Séraphin, this Society of Artistic Research Special Interest Group (SAR SIG) provides contexts for coming together via the exchange of language-based research. The intent is to support developments in the field of expanded language-based practices by inviting attention, time and space for enabling understanding of/and via these practices anew.

A visual, emotional & conceptual archive of performative installations that anticipated the LGP Method's integrative logic. This article presents a series of digital collages created through the daily reworking of personal archives—photos, performance records, and installations. These images are not final works but affective documents in motion. They explore the blurred boundaries between memory, artwork, and archive. This visual practice is part of the ongoing evolution of the LGP Method, showing how transformation and process are central to its structure. After the method's formalization, a new identity—New Art—emerged, emphasizing mobility, reinvention, and the spiritual-emotional dimension of creative work. This archive also acknowledges the valuable collaborations with artists, performers, and institutions who engaged with different stages of the process, activating the method from multiple perspectives.

This page gives a first impression of the content, functionality and design of the upcoming online publication ‘Sonic Inspiration Guide’. The guide will be published in Dutch in October 2025 and in English shortly after to make it available to an international audience.

Abstract The E(c)lect(r)ic Guitar in The Mechanical Forest is my investigation into how to expand my improvisational palette as an electric guitarist, by working with compositional techniques and concepts used in composed contemporary western art music. In my work, I have focused on incorporating movement, microtonality, as well as multimedia composition techniques and application of technology, both in the performance as well as in the creative process. A key focus of my artistic practice has been exploration of the transcorporeal nature of my relationship with the guitar. This has resulted in creative work which has grown from a deep focus on the materiality of the guitar and the visual, tactile (touch) and kinetic (movement) aspects of sound production. Research Questions 1 How can I use compositional techniques and concepts from contemporary composed western art music to expand my palette as an improvising guitarist? 2 How can I transfer musical techniques and concepts, which often are used in a strictly predetermined environment, to a musical situation where improvisation is an important element in the performance. 3 How can I reconfigure/extend the electric guitar, and how can the reconfigured/extended guitar reshape the way I create and perform music?
