London-based artist Sky_A returns with his second single ‘Walker’ on January 26th, 2024, taken from his upcoming debut album due later in the year. The project name for writer and producer Sky Ainsbury, Sky_A expands on his palette of electronic, acoustic, and progressive rock music with this track, to bring a darker edge to his intimate yet cinematic sound.
Sky has synaesthesia, and seeks to share with listeners his own experience of music as something deep and immersive, comprised of shapes, colors, and textures. Working professionally as a filmmaker and motion graphics artist, he also brings a strong visual element to this project, with a focus on long-form storytelling and beautiful, hypnotic abstract visuals.
Describing the impact of his perception, and his work in visuals on his music, Sky explains: “This is world-building for me. There is a big story to be told. Each track is a scene, and as far as possible I have instruments representing characters. It’s my “Swan Lake”. I’ll shut my eyes and see these elements like a rolling landscape – sometimes it’s serene and beautific, and sometimes it’s like barbed wire and collapsed concrete buildings. That’s what I want a listener to see when they hear this.”
Walker is due for release January 26th 2024 and will be available on all major platforms.
