Composer/keyboardist/flautist Meg Bowles combines ambient electronica with classical music on albums like 1993's Inner Space, which she released on her own Kumatone label. Her 1996 album Blue Cosmos was in keeping with the atmospheric bent of her previous releases, but that year she began collaborating with the Philadelphia Orchestra's principal trumpeter, David Bilger; her 1999 album From the Dark Earth presented a more direct version of Bowles' style. She has also published two works for trumpet and synthesizer, 1996's "Night Sun Journey" and 1997's "Places Where Rivers Meet." ~ Heather Phares
