Valerio Marcellino and Marco Andrea Lippa started the project as an ambient duo, creating soundscapes and psychedelic suites using guitars, synths and voices.

Il Giardino degli Specchi has a wide range of sounds, from ambient to the famous wall of sounds of post rock genre, with some influences coming from slow tempo, heavy distortions and atmosphere. linktr.ee/ilgiardinodeglispecchi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2g6tBYaUp0 In violet: Born out of a London basement in 2010, in violet blends the experimental with the familiar.

Moving Pictures- Rush Tribute
“Moving Pictures - they're really really good. I give them a double Redick thumbs-up.” — Darren Redick - Planet Rock Radio. On seeing the Moving Pictures video for their arrangement of Afterimage Alex Lifeson (Rush guitarist) wrote – “Very moving and beautifully done. Heartfelt thanks to the band for their kind tribute.” “To emulate 3 of the highest musical calibre artists, with such gusto, was seriously impressive.” “First time but won’t be the last, great show and fantastic musicianship!” “My Villa has never been so brilliantly strangled.” ________________________________________ MOVING PICTURES – RUSH TRIBUTE play for over two hours covering all the classics such as Tom Sawyer, The Spirit of Radio and Xanadu (with doubleneck guitars) plus some deeper cuts such as By Tor and later belters such as Far Cry and Headlong Flight. Featuring drummer Jamie Dunleavey — this young lady from St Andrews is scarily on point. It takes a unique set of skills to sing AND play bass AND play keys like Geddy Lee — John Power (Eoin de Paor) is incredibly accurate. Guitarist Steve Brown is a lifelong Rush fan and pro player with way too many guitars and wicked sense of humour — not unlike a certain Mr Lifeson. MOVING PICTURES are regularly on the bill at Rush fan conventions. Here they are playing Xanadu at RUSHfest Scotland 2022. https://youtu.be/4cu4Q-fuqWU They have recordings on all 3 Songs For Neil albums and have performed for and recorded with Rush producer Terry Brown. www.tickets-scotland.com/mov07
