Alec Hall's debut portrait album weaves feld recordings, spectral analysis, and spoken word into vivid, provocative sound worlds.

A Dog Is a Machine for Loving features canine companions as musical coconspirators, exploring interspecies kinship through piano and pre- recorded dog sounds. There Are Only Two Ways to See Inside Someone pairs erotic intimacy with the cold gaze of medical imaging, while The Water's Memory, the Memory of Sand wrestles with inherited trauma and geopolitical violence. Across these works, Hall transforms raw reality into layered musical storytelling, echoing Donna Haraway's call for co-creation and companionship in a fractured world.
