"Das Cinzas, Carvão" originates from the expression “making coal from ashes" (fazer das cinzas, carvão), invoking the idea of reversing a natural process, transforming something already burned back to its original state, thus exploring the duality between destruction and rebirth. Written for solo violin, this piece follows a sonic trajectory between the ephemeral and the permanent, beginning with ethereal, fragmented sounds (evoking suspended ashes) and later evolving into dense, rustic textures. Moments of silence punctuate the narrative, culminating in a climax of double stops and vigorous bow attacks, suggesting a latent combustion that never fully extinguishes.

 

biography:

Nuno d’Eça (b.1997) began his musical studies at the age of 7 at the Conservatório de Música Sons e Compassos, in Sintra. In 2015, he enrolled at Universidade Lusíada de Lisboa in the Jazz and Modern Music course. After completing his degree (2018), he took private lessons with Vasco Mendonça, joining the Escola Superior de Música de Lisboa (ESML) the following year in the Composition course, where he studied with Luís Tinoco and Carlos Caires. He is currently pursuing a Master’s in Music Teaching at ESML. Notably, his piece “I’m Sorry Dave” was selected for the 2020 CIME/ICME festival.
