Late-1950s jazz album cover

Late-1950s jazz album cover in duotone: a single monumental wall light-switch, dramatically cropped and shot from a low angle, its toggle caught mid-flick, casting a long hard shadow across a vast empty charcoal field. A thin cream horizon line sits low in the frame with a tiny distant satellite dish silhouette resting on it, dwarfed by the switch. High-contrast photographic grain, hard single-source lighting from the upper left, deep matte blacks against cream negative space, with one cadmium-orange stripe running vertically along the left edge. The words 'THE SWITCH' set in bold condensed cream sans-serif across the upper third. 9:16 portrait phone wallpaper.
