Artist picture
An Experimental Project (Lawrence Wise And The Cosmic Funk Orchestra), and a Loose Funky Jammer (OSMOSIS). 2 separate sides, the very same dude.
Hello. Lawrence Wise And The Cosmic Funk Orchestra/OSMOSIS is actually a One-Man Home Recording Project that has been my 'stress relief' (ha ha!), since about MAY, 1981. I'm from that first wave of DIY Cassette-Tapers ('analog'--and PROUD OF IT!). Hell, the majority of my material between '81 and '99 was done on the earliest large-model Casio Synthesizers (the MT-68, MT-400-V and MT-200), with a Yamaha thrown into the mix (on occasion). Recently, I've started posting my material on the web (after transfering it from cassette-tape to digital disc, and then to MP3---a very hard process, considering the AGE of some of the tapes). It was in these past 2 1/2 years on the web that I discovered that, despite the ridicule you're going to get, there IS an Audience for your music--no matter how different it is. I've been telling some of my friends and peers for years to NEVER get rid of ANY of their recordings, no matter how 'crappy' you were (of think you were), because having a 'Back Catalog' is a damn good thing. You MAY have been sitting on some GEMS, and not even know it. And, when I discovered that a 21-year-old jam I posted on MySpace recently ROCKED a lot of folks as far away as SCOTLAND and AFRICA (!), I felt pumped. It means that this was a 'dream' that came thru in the end.

Story behind the song
Believe it or not, this 6 minute opus is actually a RE-EDIT, cut-and-pasted and condensed from it's original 11-minute version. Recorded in February 2007, I held onto it so that I can "fix it up"--- and boy, did I ever. (still have to amp-up the sound on it, though, but that's coming!) It's frantic and chaotic in the beginning, and ballsy the rest of the way--musically. 'Story-wise' for the album's concept: just what IS this 'Beast', and can it be stopped? It just appeared in the skies over Planet Gaea some 2 weeks after Ambassador Stellaar (once more) failed in her bid to get Planet Gaea to become a part of the United Planetary Forum. Well, she's gone, and this Beast is here. And "The ONE" is threatening WAR, blaming the UPF---- iand the people of Planet Gaea follows his every word. He is...'iGOD/i', after all/i. (But, does "The ONE" know something about this creature that HE'S not telling? Stay Tuned.) I've decided to leave it as an instrumental, with this synopsis being your "Narrative".
