Restauração

The word "Restauração" in Portuguese means restoration and this piece is inspired by the idea of art restoration. This concept was translated as a very fragmented sound material that is mainly played by the violin. Melodic fragments emerge from noise and fade away. Other instruments add bright colors to the fragments, creating timbre transitions that act as light spots in an overall faded picture, attempting to "restore" the original melody. The piece moves towards brightness, which is represented by the more continuous use of the wind instruments, going back and forth between blurred and clear passages.
