Alchemy, Phillip Houghton - Contra Guitar Duo

The third of Phillip Houghton’s ’Three Duets’ for guitar duo. “Alchemy, was inspired not only by the mysterious medieval practice, but also by the ’combustive energy’ a duo can create together. I ’heard’ a vision in which I saw sparks of gold and threads of light coming out of the guitars, with both guitars trading lines around a shifting ostinato.“ - Phillip Houghton, 1994 Recorded in Friedberg in March 2019 Video and Audio: Jakob Schmidt Guitars: Lance Litchfield (Emma-Shay) and Jayson Elazzi (Hamish) Guitar Supports: Guitarlift
