Double bass player
Damon Smith studied both classical and jazz bass with Lisle Ellis, Bertram
Turezky and others. He has also done considerable research of the ´sonic
palette´ of the double bass. This has resulted in a personal, flexible
improvisational language based in the American jazz avant garde movment
and European non-idiomatic free improvisation. He is also very influenced
by non-representational visual art and dance. He has collaboratted with
a wide range of musicians including Marshall Allen (of Sun Ra´s Arkestra),
Henry Kaiser, Fred Frith, Wadada Leo Smith, Marco Eneidi, Wolfgang Fuchs,
Peter Brötzmann and Peter Kowald. He works often in the Bay Area Creative
Music Community. He has 3 CD´s on his own ´Balance Point Acoustics´ label
(bpa 001 ´Mirrors Broken But No Dust´ Peter Kowald/Damon Smith) and bpa
002 ´The Sale Of Tickets For Money Was Abolished´ Tony Bevan/Scott R.
Looney/Damon Smith, and bpa 003 ´Three October Meetings´.
