Abstract
 
The present artistic research is focused on the processes of musical re-elaboration for a guitar duo, whose repertoire has historically been constituted by adaptations of songs composed for other instruments. In many cases, these processes are anchored in traditional assumptions that favor the maintenance of the “musical text”. Such an orientation can limit the creative possibilities of performance for guitar duo. In the beginning, this investigation aims to foster a critical study on the practices of musical re-elaboration considering the use of tacit knowledge and affordances in the search for a desired sound. More than new arrangements, this research intends to expand the artistic conception and the possibilities of musical performance for guitar duo.
