Soundtrack
By Luiz Fernando Carvalho
The soundtrack of Afinal, o Que Querem as Mulheres? was composed by two maestros: Tim Rescala and Marcelo Camelo. Each in their own time, each in their own space, studio or kitchen. We met only once, time when I realized the proportion of the risk I assumed by proposing a dialogue between creators of musical origins so distinct from each other. On that night, Camelo brought his trombone and improvised some melodies. At the same time, Tim transcribed them to a musical sheet. I saw a great deal of things on that first and last meeting, among them, the air of enchantment from Camelo, who looked at Tim as if he was looking at a magician who writes songs at the speed of light, and also his immense generosity (more like his immense denudation) in revealing that his dream was to become a maestro like Tim.
As time passed, the contrast between both illuminated the composition of scenes. The ones with a more lyric and intimate tone were naturally embracing the songs of Camelo and the most satirical ones chose Tim.
Both Camelo and Tim produced a vast amount of songs, far beyond the technical capacity supported by the CD that comes with the DVD.
