But He Not a Base Doe is an online space launching in late summer 2025 on Instagram and YouTube. This ZAMA Creative project is a musical experiment fueled by my obsession with filling in bass notes—an exercise born from echolalia and my deep appreciation for the rare, resonant tones of basso profundo singers. My old tennis self from my choir years could only wish and dream…

When a song crosses my social media feed, I linger, humming the melody and deducing harmonies that might exist beneath it. I record these attempts, often live, using a phone or simple studio tools. With prosumer hardware, I refine these raw takes into polished pieces, sharing my earnest (and often humorous) efforts to be the bass for whom no one asked. Whether it’s harmonizing a Dwarven anthem from The Lord of the Rings or improvising during my Dungeons & Dragons sessions, But He Not a Base Doe is my way of stepping into the lower registers—notes that may elude my natural range but not my passion. I hope you’ll stop by, have a laugh, and maybe even enjoy the harmonies I conjure.
