Henry Kaiser & Damon Smith: Six Of Two
Six Of Two
Henry Kaiser - six string acoustic bass guitar
Damon Smith - Ergo six string electric upright bass, laid flat
Recorded by Henry Kaiser / July 23rd, 2006
We’re especially proud to push you down the neck of Will Shatter’s axe as it is transformed into a blindingly convoluted water slide that empties into a sea of smash-jagged, scattered, slowly caramelizing sugar-glass.

I love this! The last minute is my favorite. The perfect thing to get my day started off right here at the office. Makes me want to run home and grab my instruments.
By the way, the track you two did for Derek tribute cd was my favorite on the disk. That, and the track with the book review. Still have that on rotation.
Thanks.
this track is very good. it’s been a long since i heard a recent henry kaiser track and this one is very interesting with damon smith. thank sfor all these sounds. david
Thanks for listening, I have talked about myself on bags way too much lately but I should put a link to the guy who made my Electric Upright: http://www.ergoinstruments.com
I bought the instrument for travel, inspired by Paul rogers sound on his ALL bass I went for the 6 string. It has a warm and woody sound that I much prefer to amplifying my double bass. It is on a cymbal stand so I can have it upright or flat like an ironing board, as in this piece.
Actually, I enjoyed that. Over the last few years I’ve kind of become Anti-Kaiser. Musically he’s seems to be kind of treading water. And his rock’n roll thing has always kind of bored me. But this is pretty good. Your bass is the highlight for me though.
I must say as an aside that one of the high points of that documentary on the grizzly man sound track was that bear fight you did.
That was cool.
Henry is not a musician I can be objective about. What I say can say is that no one has had as profound affect on my musicianship as he has, especially in terms of pushing m ein other directions. It is hard to over estimate his musical depth and knowlege.
I also think he is playing better than ever right now.
BTW, the more bass like sounds are him, I am just crackling around and I think I bow a low ‘B’ for few seconds.
Thanks for this, Damon. The abrupt ending took me off guard.
Well, without a question Henry has influenced me for the past 20+ years, thru college in the 80s and 90s and in the new millenium when I was fortunate to have spent time on Midway with him (I was working there at the time) and practiced and played for a performance for the islanders. He is playing better and better IMHO, and right now doing stuff that just builds on his existance here on Earth over the years. Keep up the great work Henry, good stuff.
