*Organon Lutherie* is a collective of artists and researchers dedicated to investigating the boundaries of organology—the study and classification of musical instruments. By focusing on liminal instruments that resist classification, we want to challenge rigid, technoscientific frameworks of classifying musical instruments. Our work focuses on instruments at different stages: from their design and fabrication to composition and their meeting with performers and audiences. Using these undefinable instruments as case studies, we move beyond the digital/acoustic binary toward alternative organologies with porous categorizations. Our goal is to develop situated, open-ended frameworks that reveal how instruments store and produce knowledge. Organon Lutherie is a Thematic Working Group at [KTH NAVET.](https://www.kth.se/navet) contact \[at] organon-lutherie \[dot] xyz ![[banner.jpg]] # Helena Linder Helena Linder is an artist and researcher whose practice centers on instrument building and photography. With a background in physics, she finds beauty in scientific explorations of sound and light—her work is driven by a curiosity about natural phenomena. She is currently building an instrumentarium inspired by 19th-century acoustics labs, with  her work so far focusing on an acoustic synthesizer inspired by the mechanisms and historical context of sirens. Helena’s affiliations in Stockholm include membership in Elektronmusikstudion (EMS), Konstmusiksystrar, and Fylkingen. https://helenalinder.com/ ![[hlm.jpg]] Photo: Laura McHugh # Hara Alonso Hara Alonso (b.1990) is a pianist, composer and sound artist from Spain. Her compositional process is based on bodily experience, exploring multisensory practices, memory and space as tools for sound creation. In recent years she has expanded the sonic and performative possibilities of the piano through extended techniques, somatic practices and signal processing. https://haraalonso.com/ ![[photo by virginia delfino.jpg]] Photo: Virginia Delfino # Elin Kanhov Elin Kanhov is a musicologist and researcher, and since 2023 she has been researching music and AI at the Department of Speech, Music and Hearing at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. She earned a PhD from Stockholm University in 2023, with a doctoral thesis exploring conceptions of nature in contemporary art music by combining music analysis, posthumanist and new materialist theories, and Deleuze-Guattarian philosophy. Between 2025–2028, she is leading the research project Musical Entanglements with AI: Posthumanist Perspectives on Creating, Consuming and Connecting with AI Music funded by the Swedish Research Council (No. 2024-01012). https://elinkanhov.com/ ![[elin_kanhov.webp]]
