Al Pagoda is a Spanish composer and musician based in Berlin. He studied cinema and began composing music for films before releasing his own songs. During those years, he experimented with synthesizers, recording techniques and sounds collected along the way. His work has continued to move between music and film, both in his recordings and live performances.

His debut album Lucky Veil (Bigamo Musik, 2020) grew out of a series of experiments and an invitation to perform at Loophole, a small club in Berlin. Built partly from short recordings collected on his phone over the years, the album came together during a winter in Berlin, in a room without windows. It was accompanied by the music film A Deer Falling Into The Sea. In 2025, he released In Roam, an EP made with Berend Intelmann and Vinson Fraley for Bigamo Musik. New songs are beginning to emerge, with a second album to follow in early 2027.

Alongside his own music, he runs RAN Studio, composing music and designing sound for film and visual projects. Before Al Pagoda, he was a founding member of Polock, touring internationally between 2006 and 2016, and co-wrote Everlasting, featured on the FIFA 15 soundtrack.
