Artist History Sun & Moon is a musical concept created by Tim Garnett. The main idea behind the concept was to fuse many types of music, using many influences from some of the great musicians of our time, creating a new original classification of music which has become known as Invitro-Rock. The basic format is progressive rock, fused with latin music, jazz, alternative, new age, reggae, heavy rock, etc., using classical music orchestrations in the background. The new Sun & Moon project began seven years ago and has produced twenty one albums with over 230 original songs, in many different categories, ranging from alternative heavy rock listening music to acoustic ballads, and from dance music to instrumental futuristic compositions. The title Sun & Moon stems from an attempt to organize a rock festival in Teotihuacan, the site of the aztec pyramids of the Sun and the Moon, the largest and most influencial pyramids in the american hemisphere, of which permission was obviously not granted. (not yet, anyway!) Tim Garnett was born in Richmond, Va. but his family moved to Mexico when he was 5 years old. He started playing guitar when he was 13. Being ambidextrous, he learned to play the guitar left-handed but with the strings of a right handed guitar. Therefore, you could say that he plays an inverted guitar. This rare technique enabled him to create his own original style and very distinct sound. This technique did not make him popular at all with his teachers when he studied music. He quit music school and hit the circuit in the U.S. and after a year of playing the bars in Hawaii, Tim returned to his hometown and to his latin influenced roots in Mexico to begin the new phase of the Sun & Moon project.
