Born Damon Jesse Smith on oct. 17th, 1972 in Spokane, WA. Did "freestyle bmx" bicycle riding (a much more dangerous forshadow to "freestyle" music! see http://www.theflatlander.com) from age 13 to 23. Started music in 1991, under the influence of Mike Watt (Firehose & The Minutemen) on fender bass. Lead several punk/art rock combos until 1994. Upon receiving Peter Kowald's landmark lp "Duos;Europa," Damon sold the fender bass and concentrated solely on double bass and free music. Damon's music is rooted in the tradition of "free jazz", with most of his professional experience coming from work with the orchestras and small ensembles of alto saxophonist marco eneidi, however, he is very interested in all the manifestations of free improvised music (jazz rooted or not!) around the world. His live and recorded efforts focus on continuing and expanding the possibilities of the double bass and "instant composition." His instrumental study focuses on classical technique and etudes, while using jazz as reference for pizzicato tone. Damon performs as a soloist and in every imaginable grouping all the way to large orchestra. He also collects recordings, specifically creative music, jazz and double bass music, and feels this is an important influence on his work ("my roots are in my record player"- evan parker). Nordzucker Seit 2004 erkundet das Trio NORDZUCKER einen sehr eigenen Klangraum.Lars Scherzberg, Michael Maierhof und Birgit Ulher haben eine individuelle Klangsprachejenseits des konventionellen Instrumentalklangs entwickelt, sie arbeitenmit erweiterten Spieltechniken und Präparationen z.B. mit Wäscheklammern,Metallobjekten und Dämpfern.Die offene, von Pausen durchsetzte Textur wird bestimmt von aufgespaltenenund mehrschichtigen Klängen und Klangmischungen. Die Musik vonNORDZUCKER verbindet improvisatorische Freiheit mit musikalischer Präzision.Die erste CD -500 gr.- des Hamburger Trios ist erschienen bei dem portugiesischenLabel Creative Sources.https://www.creativesourcesrec.com
