Sky Ainsbury is a multidisciplinary artist working at the intersection of music, film, and audiovisual storytelling.
Originally a writer, and motivated by the desire to communicate stories and bring ideas to life as vividly as possible, he has achieved fluency in a broad and complementary skill set spanning songwriting and production, performance, film direction, editing, and, more recently, generative art, motion graphics and audiovisual installations.
In the abstract, his work explores the (subjective) body, the (living) city, speculative utopias and dystopias, and questions of social organization. Concretely, he has in him several albums, a novel, and a feature film/limited series.
In the meantime, Sky is open to commissions and actively pursuing collaborations across the music and arts industries. He has directed and created videos for CocoRosie, Henrik Schwarz, Gallops, and Sink, toured visuals for Rival Consoles, and is currently developing a live stage show that integrates his creative skills into a singular, immersive audience experience.
