Surround Sound

Surround Sound" by international visual artist Oronde Kairi transports us to the iconic 1969 Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. In this captivating oil painting, the atmosphere comes alive with vibrant hues and meticulous details.

Set against a rich backdrop of deep blues and blacks, the stage is a symphony of instruments and microphones, meticulously positioned for the ultimate auditory experience. The microphones, each adorned with a plush red cushion, are a visual testament to the title, "Surround Sound." They stand ready to capture the magic of Miles Davis and his ensemble.

At the center of this artistic masterpiece is the elongated figure of Miles Davis himself. He's immortalized in his legendary denim outfit, but Oronde Kairi's unique touch transforms him. Davis dons striking red leather gloves and matching boots, adorned with a mesmerizing pattern of white circles. His iconic sunglasses from that era reveal red lenses, adding a touch of mystique to his presence.

As we admire this painting, a sense of timelessness emerges. In the distance, a faded figure observes the performance, bridging the gap between past and present. "Surround Sound" not only captures the essence of Miles Davis's music but also invites us to immerse ourselves in the aura of that iconic night in Switzerland, where music and art converged to create something truly unforgettable.
