Promotion: New York-based artist Ran Ortner has created a bespoke speaker finish for Scottish audio brand Linn based on sonic and oceanic rhythms.
Called Triton, the black, satin-like finish produced by Linn is an ode to waves ? both sound and ocean waves depicted in Ortner's vast, multi-layer oil paintings.
The slate-black colour is described by the artist as "a rich tritone" made up of elements of all the primary colours in a smooth, 8-layer lacquered coat with a subtle sheen that was designed to reflect the luminosity and shifting colours found in Ortner's work.

"Incorporating both its description as a tritone, and in homage to Ran's deep connection with the oceanic, we have named his signature finish ?Triton?, after the Greek demigod of the sea," said Linn Products? CEO Gilad Tiefenbrun. "It will be the first in our Signature Collection, joining the established Glasgow and Classic Collections in our range." Available as an optional finish for the brand's 360 speakers and LP12 plinths, the bespoke finish was originally developed for the custom Linn Klimax audio system designed specifically for Ortner's studio in Dumbo, New York.
