Look out for London-based artist Sky_A debut single ‘Spider Silk’, taken from his upcoming debut album due later this year. Producing music under his project name, writer and producer Sky Ainsbury, mixes elements of electronic, rock, and acoustic music to paint futuristic yet intimate landscapes of sound. 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). It lyrically explores the concept of strength in vulnerability.
Discussing the creation of the self-filmed music video, Sky explains: “The video was filmed completely DIY, using motion capture with AI to create the animations. I recorded myself dancing, manipulated it with 3D software, and then put the renders through Stable Diffusion to get the different textural effects. The performance footage I shot using a £15 Amazon ring light in the hallway of my pokey flat in Hackney! And, for the establishing shot of the television in the abandoned building, I used Midjourney to generate the image, then expanded it with Photoshop Generative Fill to create the foreground. I work as a video editor and get so used to huge sums of money being thrown around on very average content, so it was a satisfying experiment to see what I could put together on literally zero budget.”
