Timo Laine - short
Timo Laine
Timo, over the years, has become known for his masterful guitar work. Timo released a ground breaking album with A&M Records worldwide in the early years of his career.The recording ended up as being the first major guitar synthesizer work. The album was called "Symphonic Slam". What Timo had done was hook up six separate synthesizers to his Les Paul guitar. Each string had its own synthesizer that could be set up separately. The original Timo Laine Symphonic Slam cd is now available here at timolainemusic.com and CD Baby.
Timo`s latest cd, Guitar Works Special Edition,
is all instrumental .The music is along the lines of material much like Joe Satriani, but with Timo`s extra dash of guitar synthesizer. Included on this cd are a great selection of guitar tones with, electric, acoustic, nylon, and guitar synthesizer.
Timo has performed with acts such as the Rolling Stones, BB King, Tina Turner, Rush, Chuck Berry, and many other major artists to name a few.
On Timo's CD "Her Fire," Les Carlsen, former lead man for the musical "Hair" and more recently, "Bloodgood", compliments the group on many of the tunes. Noe Cruz, Timo's bass man since the early years, performs with an aggressive edge on this work. Noe replaced Jimmy Haslip, during the production of the SSII album in the eighties. Jimmy, since then, went on to form the group Yellow Jackets. Bob Winn plays the Roland V-drums on Her Fire. Guest artists include: Mike Meucci, Mark Vaughn, Dennis Brown, and Larry Class.
Musea Records acquired the rights from Universal Records to re-issue the first Symphonic Slam album CD worldwide in 2002.
