Alma Hale
Nocturnal art-pop with breath, tension, and light. Human-authored. AI-rendered.
Nocturnal art-pop with breath, tension, and light. Human-authored. AI-rendered.
Born from a human soul.
Living through artificial intelligence.
Alma Hale is a virtual artist created and directed by Riccardo Donati — shaped by music, memory, desire, theoretical physics and night.
Her songs are not generated by an autonomous machine. They begin with human writing, composition and emotional direction; AI gives Alma her voice, sound and visual presence, but her origin remains human.
Alma belongs to the quieter side of art-pop: close-mic vocals, warm electronics, fretless bass, restrained pulse, cinematic space, and light slowly emerging from shadow.
Her world moves between intimacy and abstraction, body and thought, tenderness and gravity. Fields, phases, thresholds and alignments become hidden forms of emotion.
Her official music videos are directed like intimate short films: each song opens a small world of its own. Beautiful is not enough. It must be Alma.
Slow grooves, withheld desire, light that comes from shadow.

No. Alma Hale is a virtual artist created and directed by Riccardo Donati. She is never presented as a real person: her voice, performance and visual presence are AI-rendered, while the writing and composition behind her are human.
Riccardo Donati — an Italian multi-instrumentalist and former student of theoretical physics — writes and composes every song. Lyrics, melody, harmony and emotional direction are entirely human.
AI renders what a studio and performers would otherwise embody: Alma's voice, the instrumental sound, her performance and her visual presence — always under human direction. Human-authored. AI-rendered.
No. The songs are not generated by an autonomous machine: they begin with human writing, composition and emotional direction, and AI is the rendering layer, not the author. Born from a human soul. Living through artificial intelligence.
Alma means "soul" in Latin-derived languages. The debut single "Alma" is a birth scene — and a quiet question about whether human and artificial thought may share the same nature.
The singles "Alma", "Whispered Green" and "Alma Africa" are out now on Spotify, YouTube and all major platforms. "Whispered Green" also opens every evening of the Gallio Film Festival 2026.
