Summary
Prometheus Risen is a free-flowing, no-holds-barred, in-the-moment encounter based on daredevil instincts, a shared arrangement aesthetic and mutual trust. While all the keyboard parts, Moog bass lines, ambient washes, textures, loops and huge groove playing on the kit might suggest a precisely-crafted project involving multiple layers of overdubbing and tons of post-production work, the entire album was in fact done live in the studio. Together on Prometheus Risen, Chamberlain and Haas present spontaneous composition at its finest.
The Vinyl Guide's "Vinyl Artist Series" episodes showcases new artists who have committed themselves to the vinyl record format. These are totally independent artists who wish to share their music and hopefully encourage listeners to pick up their music on vinyl.

| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone, it's Nate here, the host of the Vinyl Guide podcast. And today, I'm introducing a new |
| 0:06.6 | series of podcast episodes. We call it the vinyl artist series. Now, let me explain a bit. We here at |
| 0:14.2 | the Vinyl Guide put together about 40 to 45 shows each year, and these are generally on albums from well-known musicians, many of which |
| 0:23.5 | you're likely familiar with, probably even have in your record collection already. So, on the |
| 0:29.5 | weeks where we don't publish an episode, rather than just having no episode or blank air, we thought |
| 0:35.8 | we would use this as an opportunity to showcase new independent |
| 0:40.2 | artists who have committed themselves to the vinyl record format. Now, the artist you'll hear |
| 0:46.2 | on the vinyl artist series are ones that I find particularly interesting and I'd recommend |
| 0:51.6 | checking out. And if you like what you hear, I'll provide links |
| 0:55.3 | and information on how you can purchase the vinyl of what you've heard and start exploring |
| 1:00.2 | the artist further. So with that, let's start on the Vinyl Guide's vinyl artist series. |
| 1:09.4 | This week we are featuring Matt Chamberlain and Brian Haas' new LP, Prometheus Risen. |
| 1:15.7 | Now, you may have heard of these guys separately. |
| 1:17.5 | Matt Chamberlain is a revered drummer who's appeared on recordings with Bill Frisell, Tori Amos, Fiona Apple, |
| 1:24.0 | Morrissey, David Bowie, Herbie Hancock. The list is long. |
| 1:27.1 | And in these recordings, he appears |
| 1:28.9 | alongside Brian Hoss, who, in addition to his solo work, tours with Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey and |
| 1:35.3 | Noletet. Now, my wife and I had this album on the other night. We listened to it. It totally blew |
| 1:40.7 | our minds. It's really cool. Matt Chamberlain and Brian Haas do this very compelling |
| 1:44.9 | improvisational composition, working off one another, and the result is this brilliant LP Prometheus |
| 1:51.5 | risen. And something else to know, Matt and Brian are currently doing a West Coast tour of the United |
| 1:57.5 | States happening in the month of October 2016. So if you're lucky enough to live |
