we recently got the opportunity to check out the debut single “Spider Silk” from London based artist Sky_A.

You can listen to “Spider Silk” on Spotify Here and on Apple Music Here

The project name for writer and producer Sky Ainsbury, Sky_A mixes elements of electronic, rock and acoustic music to paint futuristic yet intimate landscapes of sound. Sky believes that he may have a form of Synaesthesia and illustrates how he hears music in terms of the shapes of the figures, the colours of the melody and its textures as material.

Speaking about how his perception of music makes an impact on the music that he creates, Sky explains: “I read once about Tchaikovsky writing the Nutcracker, how each instrument represented a character in the piece, so every time you hear the Oboe, that’s the duck, or the fairy or whichever it is. That really stuck with me. So if I say that in my music, the acoustic guitar is flesh, human bodies, the drums and distorted guitar are architecture and machinery, weapons, and the synths are technology, the internet, a kind of convergent consciousness – when I say that I mean it quite literally. I’m approaching composition like a canvas, and there’s consistency across the album, there’s a story if you dig for it.”

Spider Silk, was self-performed and produced, with the addition of virtuoso drums by Adam Betts (Three Trapped Tigers, Squarepusher, Jarvis Cocker) and additional production and mixing by Aneek Thapar (65daysofstatic, Rival Consoles, Mazoulew).

We were enthrall with “Spider Silk” from Sky_A., right from the first note . There was this real sense of mystery around the track that we found very appealing. The words aided by the matrix sounding beats and melodies makes “Spider Silk” a truly otherworldly experience.

It is refreshing to hear music that makes you think and explore , We can’t wait to hear more from Sky_A.
