Albert Zaragoza Gas, known as Lenticular Clouds, is an artist working with sound, image and digital systems. His practice explores perception, structure and transformation through experimental music, visual works and hybrid formats. Lenticular Clouds functions as an ecosystem rather than a single discipline, bringing together albums, audiovisual pieces, web-based projects, live performances and digital editions.
Zaragoza released the debut Lenticular Clouds album Ciencia / Conciencia through Neonized Records in 2011, composed and recorded in Barcelona and moving between aetherpop, chillwave and dreampop to use sound as a way of suggesting order within complex systems. The following year brought Universal Geometry on the UK/US label AMDISCS, presented live at Sónar Barcelona in 2012 and built from chillwave, hypnagogic pop and IDM-inflected structures exploring impermanence and perception. Also in 2012, Joy Of Humans appeared through the blog and label Egyptian Maraccas as a netart project in which each track had its own HTML page combining animated GIFs, hidden navigation and embedded audio. Selected tracks from it were later minted as NFT editions on Hic et Nunc in November 2021. In 2015, he performed the EP HEALTH GODS, reflecting on ancient deities of health and healing, as an audiovisual live show at MIRA Festival in Barcelona, and the 3D sculptures made for each deity became some of his earliest NFT works on Tezos.
