There aren't ton of trumpets in Prog and ambient music, but Ben Neill is one of them. The horns of Gabriel and Miles are transfigured when Ben Neill plays live on Echoes. Ben Neill merges ambient, electronic, dub-step and minimalism. His mutantrumpet that has 3 bells, a trombone slide, 2 sets of valves and all kinds of electronics. Ben Neill makes it all sound beautiful when he plays live tonight on Echoes. http://wp.me/p4ZE0X-6f1
Ben Neill is super cool...I loved his 90's albums like Goldbug and Triptycal.
If you're actually reading this then chances are you already have my last album but if NOT and you're curious:

Also, Ephemeral Sun: it's a thing and we like making things that might be your thing: https://ephemeralsun.bandcamp.com
I only have one by him called "Green Machine" but it's really good. For fans of Hassell and/or Nils Petter-Molvaer, this is definitely worth checking out!
We are the grandchildren of apes, not angels
But only we are gifted with the eyes to see
On days without FEAR, when our heads are clear
That angels, we could be
