Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

Now, a reference to my ongoing film life, as we are in pre-production for Joe Haladin: The Case of the Missing Sister. I composed this music for a scene in the movie in which Joe Haladin has been beaten up and badly by two thugs, and his wife Laura is taking care of him, like she's a nurse. So, the music represents her care and compassion for him while tending to him. 

I wanted to do it with a trumpet because the film takes inspiration from the classic film noir Chinatown from 1974, starring Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway, whose haunting love theme by Jerry Goldsmith features a trumpet prominently. 

So, I brought in Ukrainian trumpet player Oleg Tarasenco from Kiev to lay down a trumpet track for the piece. It's me on piano, and it's my composition, which you can hear by clicking the link. And below it is an image that captures the essence of the scene.
