Dan,
I have no doubt that this project will gain interest in the trumpet community or the music/art community at large. I checked out the clips that you posted on myspace and it is so raw and full of passion that if people don't feel anything toward it, whether it be adoration of pure hatred, then I will feel sorry for them. I Don't know how your success will come or what you physically have to do to get it...I think, or figure, that figuring that part out is half the battle when you fight for something you love.
However, I think you areasking the right questions. You have vision and passion now just go out there and show it to the world. MAn, I just re-read that and that sentence just make the whole process sound trite and I'm sorry for writing that. But, Good Luck and I hope you find your answers. In parting here is a speech given by Steve Jobs. Very interesting and insightful.

Just as a post script as I re-read this bullsh*t. I was going to reply to the topic at large but I deleted it cause it made no sense to me. But really I think this could go for anyone. Mike, Bro, I know when your project starts to grow its wings that it's going to turn people on their ears.
peace,
