Abstract

This article presents the results of the first approach to André Abujamra’s music in Brazilian cinema, especially in the films Durval Discos (Anna Muylaert, 2002); Castelo Rá-Tim-Bum, O Filme (Cao Hamburger, 1999) and Bicho de Sete Cabeças (Laís Bodansky, 2001). It reveals the musical career of the artist in national cinema, by searching for a relationship between his phonographic projects and musical compositions for movies. It pursues the possibility of a film analysis from considering the movie soundtrack and relevant concepts to the sonic universe in audiovisual. It starts from the aesthetic and contextual analysis of the films whose music pieces are signed by the artist, from his biography, and theoretical formulations related to sound and film music present in the studies of authors such as Gorbman (1987), Chion (1993), Martin (2003), Carrasco (2003), Costa (2008), among others.
