These Three Duets by Australian composer Phillip Houghton are comprised of three separate and distinct pieces. First, The Mantis and the Moon is a programmatic piece depicting the life and death of a mantis. The second, Lament, is an homage to the passing of a friend of Houghton's. Finally, Alchemy exhibits Houghton's desire to create two fiery and lively parts that interweave with each other.

Calum Borthwick plays on a Vasquez Rubio guitar, and Russ Callison on a Wood Ring guitar.
